In Response to Ticking Ticker I would have replied on the thread !!

I must be in a bit slow mode Jif and Cif Help why would someone not like it ?? I understand Fag but Jif ? and I thought I was a man of the World lol

[Lezzers]

Oh cmon Frank you must remember Jif, it was a household cleaning product!! You obviously didn't do enough cleaning when you were younger!! Jif became Cif!!😂

When I worked in Brussels it was sold as Vim, but not Vim as you know it!

Talking of brands there is a limited edition Snickers coming out called Marathon!

[Lezzers in reply to MichaelJH]

I remember being so upset when they changed the name, I almost didn't eat it again. Snickers I mean, not Cif ☺ I remember Vim, that was a real scourer. Did I miss - remember the jif/Cif?

[MichaelJH Heart Star in reply to Lezzers]

Vim in Brussels was Jif in UK...

[Lezzers in reply to MichaelJH]

Hmmm, gonna have to Google that now.

[Kimkat in reply to Lezzers]

As I remember it was that Vim was always a scouring powder and Jif was a cream!?

[SpiritoftheFloyd in reply to MichaelJH]

Possibly all gone - Morrisons have limited the number you can buy after someone bought £100 worth of them! I assume they plan to hoard them for a little while and then put them on eBay.

[Lezzers in reply to SpiritoftheFloyd]

Well that's ruined my evening, I didn't even know they were already being sold!

[SpiritoftheFloyd in reply to Lezzers]

For 12 weeks apparently, but it doesn't look like they'll make it!

[Lezzers in reply to SpiritoftheFloyd]

I'm just off to the shops!

[MichaelJH Heart Star in reply to Lezzers]

You could compensate with the 1lb Snickers!

[SpiritoftheFloyd in reply to MichaelJH]

I thought that super-size options were over - clearly not. Does look good though 😊

[Lezzers in reply to MichaelJH]

I'd definitely take that challenge!

[MichaelJH Heart Star in reply to Lezzers]

Cor, it will be a KFC one next!

[Lezzers in reply to MichaelJH]

Oh noooo it won't!

[Prada47 in reply to Lezzers]

I remember Vim a dry powder but Jif I do remember I Didn't understand why the name would offend ?

[Lezzers in reply to Prada47]

No idea why it would offend. Here's tonight most useless fact, the artist Frances Bacon used Vim as a substitute for toothpaste! 😱

[Snowdrops_17 in reply to Lezzers]

👀😱😱

[Bagrat in reply to Lezzers]

Hmmmm may be had aspirations to be a vampire and was honing his fangs

[Kimkat in reply to Lezzers]

The reason that Cif offended at the time of the change is that it’s a shortened version of syphilis. I think most folk were miffed that British named products were changed for the European market instead of them taking on our product names.

[Lezzers in reply to Kimkat]

Well I had no idea 🤔 I kinda remember the miffed bit though.

[Handel in reply to Lezzers]

Who didn't!!! xx

[Lezzers in reply to Handel]

Really??

[MichaelJH Heart Star in reply to Lezzers]

Yes, eating challenges are probably as inappropriate for a Heart Forum as extreme diets!

[Alison_L in reply to MichaelJH]

I'm up for that one! Although I'm not sure my teeth are...

[MichaelJH Heart Star in reply to Alison_L]

Think I will pass as my BG would sky rocket. Used to occasionally have a jumbo mixed grill; 10oz steak, chicken breast, gammon steak, lamb chop and jumbo sausage. Couldn't finish the chips though!

[kefalonia1 in reply to Lezzers]

Hi l read somewhere they changed the name of Oil of Ulay to Oil of Olay because in the language of outer Mongolia it means oil of bum!!! l have seen photos of the people who live there and l don't think for one moment any of them use cream on any part of their bodies.

[Lezzers in reply to kefalonia1]

😂

[Dolphin14]

I'm laughing as I read this thread. Other than the snickers bar I have no idea what you guys are talking about lol

We do have jif peanut butter. Do you guys have that??

[Lezzers in reply to Dolphin14]

I've never heard of Jif peanut butter but it sounds versatile, cleaning your teeth whilst eating something tasty sounds good to me 😂

[Dolphin14 in reply to Lezzers]

Lol, it's so funny how things are so different. We have so much in common and can speak heart disease. Yet, I can't grasp onto your conversation a lot of times.

This one was great. I was so glad to see the snickers bar that I had to comment.

[Lezzers in reply to Dolphin14]

Love a snicker bar, my all time favourite chocolate bar.

I've a newly discovered American family, I need an interpretor at times to know what they're saying. Mind you I also used to need an interpretor to understand my Scottish granny's accent, beautiful though it was.

[Dolphin14 in reply to Lezzers]

I will have to get a guide book to follow your day to day discussion.

[SpiritoftheFloyd in reply to Lezzers]

I was only half joking yesterday when I said "I assume they plan to hoard them for a little while and then put them on eBay."

They're on eBay at £4.75 for a pack (price in Morrisons is £1)

[Lezzers in reply to SpiritoftheFloyd]

Ha, and this time next year they'll be millionaires 😂

[MichaelJH Heart Star in reply to Lezzers]

Most brand names are owned by only a dozen or so vast companies. Thinking back I think the Jif issue came about because Unilever(?) also owned the Jif squeezey lemon brand as well.
