10 Brands That May Disappear in 2011

[Dark Knight]

24/7 Wall St. regularly compiles a report of brands that are likely to disappear in the near-term. Last April, and again in December, we published our findings. Usually, it would take a full year before such a list could be compiled again. However, the current economic climate has accelerated this process and a majority of the brands on the first two lists are either gone, have been acquired, or have filed for bankruptcy.

They have already taken away Marathon candy bars and O'Grady's Augratin chips....I betta NOT see B.C.Powders go out. :crazy:

I was surprised to see Blockbuster on the list.

Wow - some are household names here. So sad.

Readers Digest - mum used to read it, and so do I. Love the jokes.

Blockbuster - oh to walk along the perimeter of the wall to find all the new movies. Now where am I gonna go. I hate those red boxes.

T-Mobile. The only service we get up here. I love buying the cards for my son to use for emergencies (especially when it snows).

BP -- well won't be missing them much

Radio Shack -- eh? Could take em or leave em.

Zale Corp - If this is the jeweler, I'm sad. I bought many of my early day jewelry from them.

I'm sad to see RD on the list. I love to read them. My favorite part is the "That's Outrageous" section.

 

[Brassband]

Hm. Isn't BP a bunch of Union workers? Do I smell a bailout? Interesting. Hold their feet to the fire for 20 billion, they go under, and we, the taxpayers pay up. More than once.

Kia had better not disappear before they get my a/c fixed properly!
