All brands will eventually fail. There is no such thing as a brand that can last<br />

forever. Some go out with a bang, others with a pitiful whimper, but they will<br />

all, at some stage, come face to face with their own mortality.<br />

But what about Coca-Cola What about McDonald’s Well, they are<br />

unlikely to disappear tomorrow, or even in the next few decades, but is it<br />

really impossible to imagine some future, more health-conscious society<br />

rejecting these in favour of brands more in tune with the age<br />

Many of the strongest brands of the last century are starting to look very<br />

tired. Many more have already failed. This chapter is therefore devoted to<br />

formerly successful brands, which are either no longer with us, or are looking<br />

gradually weaker day by day.
