funny
someone posted at thread recently that was about thinking that Electrolux is killing Zanussi brand...when I saw this, I just said "yep, they're killin' it"
I actually can't believe that someone is even THOUGHT of making something similar to Hoover's free flights.
It was the world's biggest failure EVER in terms of money loss and marketing, without competition!
People are learning about that scandal in Economy/Marketing school all over the world! My cousin from London (who barely knows anything about white goods and brands, nearly never uses them) knows the scandal, as he learned it in school/college.
I repeat, THE BIGGEST marketing failure of ALL that existed EVER no matter what industry, year or whatever, and on the list of losses, by far the FIRST PLACE (I think more than 15million dollars than second on the list).
Not to mention some other record that it broke, and still keeps... for example BBC watchdog's episode was never more watched, and never got more reports (over 3000).
And now, no matter it's 17 years later, someone else makes something that even looks like that... no comment
