I've been noticing a bunch of products we had since our childhood But they've disappeared out of nowhere. You can't really say how, Or when did it leave the market? Then you realize: "I liked it so much!
" "Why it doesn't exist anymore? " Today will talk some curiosities about many Products that are gone and you didn't notice I just got some news, your cousin called me saying You're not yet subscribed to the channel. .

Ok, so, you're at the 90s, and your mom does something she's always asking you to do, but you never do: brush her teeth When you're toothless, you'll go: "It was worth it not to brush it" You must remember a brand called Kolynos, check this out: [Change the weather] [Ah, change the weather] [To refresh! Use Kolynos] [and put a smile on your face] [change is always good! ] [Ah, change the weather] [If you want a fresh and white smile] [Change the weather now!
] Kolynos, right? Who didn't use it back then? Everyone had it at home You may not know Kolynos came straight from the US Over there, it was launched in 1908, by a dentist Who wished for a better formula for brushing the teeth However, in Brazil it just arrived in 1917 You must remember many ads, partnerships with Faustão.
. . There was also a package prize from Kolynos [It's live Kolynos Faustão Package Prize!
] [You just need to answer: What's the most sold toothpaste in Brazil? ] [Take a Kolynos' box and send it to us! ] [Send how many you like!
Every Sunday, on my show,] [You may get a Package Prize! ] So, when talking about toothpaste in Brazil There was only Kolynos, ok? The company was "Top of Mind" What does it mean?
The first brand you recall is Kolynos, until 2003 And it was discontinued in 1997. . .
Ok, you're saying it's "Top of Mind", it was swimming in cash. . .
If they went so successful, why did Kolynos disappear? Because Palmolive-Colgate, seeing all this success, were like: "Hum. .
. This Kolynos. .
. We could get a piece ourselves" It was worth around US$1 billion, just for an initial idea. .
. In Brazil, US$700 million more or less ended up here. .
. That's it right? Colgate had itself and Kolynos Now they could take over the world, there wasn't any one better There was a little issue, though.
. . This, in case you're unaware, is an illegal move, buying the largest part of a market, it's called monopoly What happened, after all, they were forbidden to use Kolynos brand for 4 years.
. . How did they do that?
They did by removing the name of it, from Kolynos to Sorriso, remember? [Kolynos do Brasil Ltda. announces to its consumers] [clients and suppliers that it's removing itself] [from the market for 4 years] [This removal it's based on the competition law] [nothing on the of the produce's quality] The funny thing, they were so amazing, they wanted to use Sorriso brand just for a while, until Kolynos could return However, at "Top of Mind" research, the 1st place was Kolynos And the 2nd, Sorriso.
. . After the 4 years period, they were free make a comeback for Kolynos, they just let it go "Let's just leave Sorriso, it's better than we could've imagined" "We have more than enough money.
. . " Another brand you must have seen a lot, especially during the 80s was Yopa.
Ok, Yopa was an ice cream and popsicle's brand that in 1972 was bought by Nestlé During this time, Nestlé and Yopa made many different ice creams which still we miss dearly. . .
So many memories. . .
For instance, the sweets popsicles, who wouldn’t remember this Mickey popsicle? Do you remember Disney's characters? Oh wow!
This popsicle was amazing! It's wasn't a regular popsicle, it was creamier, kind of like an ice cream on a stick than a regular popsicle. .
. It's very good! It was Mickey's.
. . I used to recall a lot that "Mickey 3", remember?
It was Mickey plus Donald. . .
Those were the days, a very good game. . .
There was also an ice cream called Sem Parar, launched in 1997 [Yopa's Sem Parar. . .
No stop! ] There's another very weird ice cream made of Quindim, check it out [This summer, for Yopa, everyone is a winner] [And huge news for you! ] [Yopa's Quindim.
. . Yopa's Quindim.
. . ] [Yopa's Quindim I know you'll like it] [White coconut, eggs and fresh milk, I want Quindim!
] [Yopa-pa-pa. . .
Yopa's Quindim. . .
Yopa's Quindim] [I know you'll like it! ] There was also a Surf Yopa, I don't know if you've noticed but Yopa's theme is beachier, summer. .
. Surf. .
. So, it was a good match. There was also Troppo, direct competitor to that Kibon's ice cream, Cornetto.
Check it out: [Super delicious] [Simply irresistible] [Troppo, each bite, a surprise] Other, very famous ice cream on the 80s, was Concorde It was an ice cream on the shape of a Concorde, that French airplane Check this out ["L'attention expecteurs", a Concorde is being launched] [Yopa's new popsicle! ] [Concorde, the supersonic Yopa's popsicle] Now, guys, I want to show you the most controversial popsicle ever Actually, in Brazil maybe not. .
. Actually, it was It was kind of funny, the Exagelado popsicle Which one was it? It was a humongous popsicle, like really massive!
There was some bullying. . .
But the worst part was its Spanish ad Just take a look! [This popsicle is too big for you alone, no? [It's not.
. . If you want I'll give you a taste.
] [Sure! ] [Can I have a taste too? ] There you go.
. . Yopa's popsicle arsenal.
. . Exagelado.
. . It’s all wrong!
Was this the reason why it's quit the market? No! Not that at all.
. . In 1994, Yopa bought Gelatto, ok?
It became the biggest Kibon's competition, the biggest at the time However, in 2000, what had happened? Nothing, actually. .
. Nestlé just decided to stop using the name Yopa And all ice creams and popsicle took its own brand name, Nestlé So, Yopa just disappeared because of Nestlé's marketing strategy For sure, if you were a child in the 90s, you remember this guarana It was so good! The little bottle with those things at the bottom It was actually kind of weird, you may want to see a doctor If you've also drank it For sure, you remember Brahma Guarana [We're at Antarctica, where Brahma is launching its new soda drink] [Let's find out what the locals think of the new Brahma Guarana] [Hey!
Hey! Hey, please! Let's try out a soda?
] [Then, did you like it? ! No!
Not at all] [New Brahma Guarana, new label, new bottle, new flavor] [At Antarctica is not a favorite! Let's wait for another Eskimo] So, Brahma Guarana was a huge hit in the 80s, ok? Every birthday party there was Brahma Guarana, it had 3 flavors: It was Guarana, Brahma Lemon and Sukita This Brahma Guarana was direct competitor of Guarana Antarctica Do you think this is why is it vanished?
Did it lose for Antarctica? Wait up, take it easy, I'll explain it to you First, I need to say: in the 90s, many people use to collect soda cans. Brahma Guarana had the classic of the classic For instance, Atlanta 96, remember?
It represented all sports fields of 1996 Summer Olympics, in Atlanta Also, in 1996, they've launched the Power Rangers cans Mostly because of its success on TV, but there was only the White and Pink Rangers There was also the Jurassic Park can Launched in 1997 Ok, you're telling me Brahma Guarana was a huge hit, super profits How does something like this disappears? Just because, I don't know if you know that, in 1999 Antarctica and Brahma joined together, they've merged into a company called Ambev What was the goal? To bottle all sodas and drinks of both brands Then you think, it was Brahma Guarana, now we have Antarctica’s.
. . they used to be competitors, why would they do it anymore?
So, they've taken Brahma Guarana off circulation Many other famous soda drinks, you must recall, disappeared too For example, Mirinda, it was an orange soda, replaced by Sukita That already existed. . .
There was also Kas Guarana, with its crazy cans. . .
I liked it because of the packaging Also, our super famous, Baré Guarana It also disappeared during Antarctica and Brahma's merge There also a funny story, from another soda drink Everyone's heard of, but, no one knows where it is The 7Up [Now in Brazil] [Do you know what Up means? ] [This is Up! ] [This is down!
] [Transparent is Up] [Dark is down] [Natural is Up] [Artificial is down] [Refreshing is Up] [Thirsty id down! 7Up, the difference is clear] So, 7Up is a famous soda, created a long time ago in the US It's a success in Portugal, Mexico. .
. The issue here in Brazil is that it didn't hit the mark It got here in 1995 So, the marketing approach for it to win the public was to sponsor soccer That's why you must remember Tulio Maravilha, on Botafogo's team using that shirt with 7Up written all over However, a 7 that big reminds of the 7x1. .
. I don't ever like to say it. .
. However, this soda was not a hit in Brazil, people here like it with more chemicals. .
. To put on the hair, feeling sick. .
. Diabetes. .
. This all-natural stuff they do not like. So, in 1997 7Up declared bankruptcy in Brazil, and vanished.
. . Not even Botafogo could save it Now, let's talk about something very special in Brazil I don't know if everybody remembers this forward-thinking man What would you say if I told you we've had a completely national car?
You must have seen some on the streets, maybe you don't recall it A car brand called Gurgel [Carajás, the only and trendy Brazilian utility car] [that meets the criteria of the most advanced engineering worldwide] [The monobloc is guarantee over 100 km against rust] [Ensures Carajás' strength and durability] Guys, the history of Gurgel motors is very interesting It proves that Brazil is holding itself back There was this guy, graduating in mechanical engineering, right? He's name was João Augusto Conrado do Amaral Gurgel And his dreams were just as big as his name. .
. Why that many? At his course completion work, he wanted to design a car completely Brazilian.
People started doubting his ideas His teacher was like: "Don't do this Gurgel, why? Let me tell you something, in Brazil, we only buy cars We don't manufacture cars" However, he was stubborn, he didn't give up on his dream At some point, he was in touch with Volkswagen They were in need of a new idea a new design for the Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung What did VW did? They said: "Gurgel, do you have any design?
Anything? We like your designs, you're really good" Gurgel replied: "Let's make a deal, I'll design for you It'll be top notch! And, if you like it and it's a success You'll provide the VW chassis for me to manufacture it, ok?
" "Ok! That's a deal! Not a problem!
Let's go! " Then, Gurgel designed for them, it was a huge success in the exhibit So, the VW people had to keep the deal, providing the chassis for him Then, in 1969, the Gurgel Motors was launched At the beginning, with few employees, they could only make around 4 cars a month It became so successful, so fast In 25 years of Gurgel Motors, 40 thousand units were made Gurgel, also, was built the first electric car at the time People didn't give a rat’s behind. .
. He was, in the 60s, building it! Ok, but, then, what happened?
He's building cars, Brazilian cars, it's cheaper and boots the economy Hiring labor. . .
How did Gurgel Motors ended up? It's that old story of horse trading, why? Gurgel begun building the cars, kept growing, then he could build his own chassis.
. . Some automakers were bothered He was taking a piece of the cake.
. . It got to the point that our beloved buddy, Fernando Collor.
. . He was a nice fellow.
. . He provided the benefits of Gurgel, by being a national company to the other automakers as well.
. . This unleashed a boycott Gurgel's cars.
. . It was just as it always is in Brazil.
. . Unfortunately, in 1993, Gurgel Motors had to close in Brazil So, what's it?
Have you seen any? Remember it? Did you have one?
Leave a comment down below, I want to know from you Another product, that was a huge hit, and disappeared into thin air Actually, it was a huge monkey business It was the Papa-Tudo , remember? [It's already live, it's a huge hit! ] [Prizes, many prizes just for you!
] [You can enter the champions team] [You'll win millions. . .
] Papa-udo is, basically, Globo's version of Silvio Santos' Tele Sena However, Silvio Santos got it right, and Papa-Tudo was one of the biggest commotion in Brazil. How did it work? You'd go to the lottery house, buy a capitalizing bond If you don't know what it is, Silvio Santos have always talked about it It's like you bought a "title", in cash, ok?
This title is like a stock, next year, you can redeem it for half the value That's why Silvio's always been saying: "Next year you'll redeem it for half the price or get another Tele Sena! " That's it. It's a way of saving up your money It's adjusted according to the Savings Account But there're some prizes, that's why it doesn't come back fully Papa-Tudo 's speech, it was massive, they'd give, draw, ambulances Help out charities.
. . However, by the end, Papa-Tudo vanished.
Why? Because it couldn't honor its commitment There were over 250 million in prizes yet to sort out Of those who've won. At the time, it was a huge argument, the owner, Artur Falk.
. . Globo had also just sneaked out After all, nothing happened, and people didn't win their prizes If you were a happy child in the 90s and you liked candy.
. . And chocolate coins.
. . Those little umbrellas.
. . For sure, you remember Zorro's Popsicles Ok, guys, it's, unfortunately, no longer available And it was a pain to find out where did it come from So, this candy was produced in a Campinas' company, called Doces Campineira If you're from there, and your father used to work there I know many people used to, leave your comment, I'd like to know!
This was a family business, bought by a guy named Armindo Dias He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he's very lucky! Everything he touches, turn to gold He bought this company in 1964, and started making Triunfo cookies [Come live the flavor and magic] [Here are Palhacitos] [The cookies filled with joy! ] Unfortunately, you'll only tell your children about that delicious caramel popsicle.
. . Wow, we miss them!
Doces Campineira, please. . .
Come back! Another thing that's gone, oh my! I'm hurt by this one This was so good, they had many sales, sticker albums, stickers.
. . Many collections, right?
It was the Ping Pong bubblegum [Hey, do you hear it? It's Ping Pong Pantanal] [He's just arrived, with many stickers of wetland's creatures] [To collect them, we get this album] [We'll become masters of the wetlands] [Order yours right now! ] [You just need to send 5 empty wrappers to the 27 zip code] [in São Paulo.
Each letter is an album, collect them all! ] Wow! Do you remember there was the Lion King collection?
And the Guinness World Records? Within the stickers Ping Pong bubblegum, why did it disappear? It was launched in 1945, by Kibon Despite we like it a lot, it had some reservations in the market, ok?
Ok it was pink, whatever. But it was a bubblegum a bit harder Which already put its competitor, Ploc bubblegum, on the lead Why did it lose? Why did it was discontinued?
There was a company called Kraft Foods It was kind of like: "Ok, I want to buy some bubblegum I really liked Ploc's, and really liked Ping Pong's I want to buy them both! " And that's what happened, ok? They bought them both, saw that Ping Pong's had a commercial disadvantage before Ploc, and vanished it Before that, they've launched a special release It was a bubblegum called "Ping Pong-Ploc" them both came in the package, as a goodbye.
. . As these brands were already in our hearts I've said it: if you liked this video, hold on, there'll be a Part 2 If this video gets to 20,000 Likes There will be a Part 2.
. . 2, 3, 4.
. . There's still so much to say If you remember something else that's gone, leave your comment I want to know what you miss from your childhood, ok?
I'm going now, but next Tuesday, I'll be back with another fresh, just baked, well done video, just for you. See ya!
