If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

Opal Fruits, made to make your mouth water,
Fresh with the tang of citrus,
Four refreshing fruit flavours:
Orange, lemon, lime, strawberry.

WTF are Starburst? If they were going to change the name they should have opted for Chimpie Chompies. And don't get me started on Marathon (lets change the name to something that sounds like women's underwear}, or Jif (lets change the name to something that sounds like shorthand for a STD). Ad men really are madmen.

I think Opal Fruits and Marathons were re branded so they were called the same thing all over the world

So why aren't they called Opal Fruits and Marathons? Silly decision to not use the British name! Just another example of the insanity that pervades the world.   :P
