Old brands never die — they just fade away until someone figures a way to capitalize on the nostalgia for them.
From candy to retailers, even the biggest names can fall out of favor. Some disappear forever while others just become harder to find.
Eventually — if enough folks start playing "remember when?" — someone will take notice and try to cash in.
Remember Narragansett Beer? Rhode Island-based Narragansett Brewing opened for business in 1890. In 1981, the original Cranston brewery was closed and due to poor management by Falstaff (which had bought the brand in 1965) andproduction came to a near stand-still.

International Harvester :(
Pan Am remains in zombie form but TWA is gone for good as American Airlines has stated that they want their former competitor buried for ever. May Carl Icahn enjoy his cancerous prostate.....
For beer, I would love the return of Reingold, the Dry Beer.
Falstaff deserved to die. That was the nastiest beer on the planet!
Not Entirely, they became Case IH.
How about some legendary vehicle brands: Duesenberg and Indian? Duesenberg is still part of common vocabulary: “That’s a Doozy!”
Most companies are at most 4 or 5 big mistakes from waving bye bye.

I had a 1971 Gremlin too. Remeber that back window? Tiny little metal hinges holding it on?
Mine rusted. One day I was just driving down the road - damn window just fell off the damn car. Busted all over the road.
Just Damn.
And chicklets. I hadn’t noticed they were gone
You can still buy all the Chicklets you want off the street kids peddling them on the bridge at Laredo ... evidently the gum of choice in Mexico.
“the Dry Beer” BWAAAA!
“During the cleanup of the WTC site following the collapse of the towers on September 11, 2001, numerous Rheingold beer cans were found in the rubble, having been hidden in the beams of the building decades earlier by construction workers who had drunk the beers on the job.”
Olde Frothingslosh was started as a spoof, and was also known as the “Pale Stale Ale!”
Packard
Hudson
Nash
I regularly buy chiclets from the local Dollar Tree. The brand isn’t dead in North America.
Packard, Studebaker, Hudson, Willys, Kaiser-Frazer...
Orphans, they called ‘em.
LOL - ok, that is a new one ...
I have all kinds of parts fall off of my various rust buckets in my younger days - a fender, the brake lines, once even, the A/C unit...
Bu I never had a window fall out.
I forgot Nash.
Thanks
As I said in the fall of 2008 "It's time to put on the lime green polyester leisure suit, slap on some Hai Karate, Brush with Pearl Drops, grab the Binacca, hop in the Javlin, and crank up the Starland Vocal Band because wer'e going back to 1978 baby!"
