‘Old brands have not disappeared for nothing’

AMSTERDAM – yogurt! Yogho!, Appelsientje, Ranja, Droste; who remembers those brands? For those who think they no longer exist: nothing could be further from the truth. Investors gamble on consumers’ sense of nostalgia and bring them back on the market, with a (sugar-free) touch of today. Sometimes that ends in a nice resale, as with Ranja, sometimes again with an inglorious goodbye.
