A lot of "modern brands" have been around for longer than we realize, going through design overhauls and facelifts as times change.
These 20 brands were all with us in the 1970s, and are still around today. You probably know what they look like now, but here is what they looked like back then.
1
Bounty
Although they were still called the “quicker picker-upper.”
2
Pringles
Julius Pringles definitely got a facelift.
3
Charmin
With babies instead of bears.
4
Taco Bell
Much more playful.
5
Trident
Much more plain in this 1975 ad.
6
Lipton
Better taste back then, but worse design.
7
Popsicle
Not much change in the logo.
8
Life Savers
Lollipops no more.
9
Cheer
(With color guard.)
10
Clearasil
I’d say their modern blue works better than this brown.
11
The Big Mac
Not everything has to change.
12
Mountain Dew
Before the daredevil days.
13
Budweiser
A guide to all their cans, concluding with the 1976 version.
14
A&W Root Beer
You could even buy it in a jug.
15
Jell-O
And one of its offshoot products, Spoon Candy.
16
Ford
“Built Tough” originated in 1977.
17
Panasonic Ad
For color TV.
18
Dairy Queen
Originally a takeout stand, this store was in Atlanta in 1975.
19
Cheerios Box
Featuring the Muppets in 1979.
20
Tupperware
A brand so powerful they changed language.
