This is a subject for a thread that could go on forever. It occurred to me twice today... Once, thinking about our 1941 Nash Rambler... became my first car, then Norge... our first washer...Now DW asked if Moxie was still around.
We have to be careful here, because old brand names are a big commodity today, with "rights" being sold to the highest bidder, and revivals coming from third world countries as well as US major competitors.
So toss out an old brand name, and we'll "fact check" to see if it's still in use.
Ummm... Like Lydia Pinkham's Linement

Lydia Pinkham's Vegetable Tonic was a popular remedy for "female complaints" and the elixer was promised to cure every womanly ailment from menstrual discomfort to infertility to the dreaded prolapses uteri. Advertisements claimed there was "a baby in every bottle," and women of the time, uncomfortable discussing feminine problems with male doctors, turned to Lydia. Many were scandalized when, as required by the new Pure Food and Drug act, it was revealed that the tonic was 20% alcohol.
