Brand Logos Quiz #7

The New York Times clue could be the Daily Telegraph

Accept "amex" for American Express?

What is there to be fixed?

Accept Kellogg's with one G/L?

Right?? I couldn't figure out why it wouldn't take my answer. Two Gs. That's why.

Likewise.

Missed it again because of the 2 Gs. I still think you should accept the answer with only one G.

agreed.

I was guessing Trojan.

I tried Master Card and gave up. Now I feel stupid.

Please accept Kellogs (without the apostrophe)

Please accept Reeses (without the apostrophe)

Who the hell are Morton's? I assume they are another American company who havent made it over the pond.

Morton's is presently a subsidiary of a German mining company, but got its start as an American salt company in the 1840s. It has operations in the United States, Canada, and the Bahamas. Not sure if it's sold anywhere else. The Morton salt girl was created for an advertising campaign from 1914. According to one magazine article from 1989 it was one of the top 10 most recognized symbols in the United States that year. I think it would probably be considerably lower on the list if they redid the survey today.

Why wouldn't I be?

You make this same complaint on every one of these quizzes.

Salt company for your information.

Morton is a salt company.

Cheers all. They haven’t made it over the pond, or if they have they operate under a different name.

Only ever heard of Morton’s from this quiz. Even if it’s sold in Canada, it’s not a major brand and I would think the vast majority of Canadians wouldn’t know this logo. Interesting how countries often have their own trusted brands for something as basic as salt.

yeah. My mom's generation in the US, at least, would definitely know it. They almost always had a canister of Morton's in the kitchen cabinet. The Morton slogan that went along with that logo ("when it rains, it pours") was meant to play up the alleged properties of the salt which allowed it to not clump up in humid environments (in other words, even when it's raining outside, your salt inside will still pour freely). Other brands of salt you'd have to package them with grains of rice to stop them from doing this. Morton's, allegedly, made this unnecessary. My grandma used to swear by the stuff.

apologies for the redundancy I now see Marlowe shared most of this information below.

That's OK. I was entertained.

I would imagine you have to be in a very specific age range to be familiar with the AIM logo.

So funny how it looks like YT is running away to the safety of PayPal and AOL is running to catch it.

Am I the only one who got the Monopoly man confused with the Pringle’s head?

In this quiz maybe, in general not at all.

Nope I do too

Awww... AOL Instant Messenger, those were the days...

The leading producer and marketer of salt for all purposes in the U.S.

The logo is tied to their slogan: "When it rains, it pours." The idea--and major selling point when both were created in 1914--was that Morton added a chemical to keep their salt from clumping up in high humidity. Thus, even when it was raining, their salt would pour freely.

so they make an advert to say: we put chemicals in our product? Really?!

It's virgin media not just virgin

Virgin Media has a different logo.

the defunct Virgin Trains used that logo too.

I typed "ray-bans" so I accidentally had an S in front when I typed "audi", looked up to see why it wasn't going and for a second I thought I was doing a geography quiz

Maybe they (like me) saw it and thought "oh it's that salt company!" and then could not think of the actual name

Perhaps mentioned already - I don't think it accepts Ray Ban without the hyphen -- possibly should (I assumed punctuation doesn't matter in jetpunk default)

I tried Trojan for Amex... 😳

Morton hears a who

I, for some reason, put "Norton"; the computer anti-virus program, instead of "Morton"; the salt. This is upsetting for me because my family always buys that brand for our salt.

Nice! People outside of USA could finally have a chance to score 16/20 on one of these!
