No, they should just make them an accurate representation of the thing they describe - hula hoops should be the size of hula hoops, and discos should come with flashing-lights on the packets and a free glitterball in every pack.
Can you imagine if Monster munch were really monsters? Each packet would involve a feisty wrestling match followed by the biggest potato feast known to humanity... mmm... if only all my enemies tasted this good!

I minded when we lost Marathons and Opal Fruits - not so much because of the names, but because we were bowing to Europe to have names that everyone recognised. Why the heck did Jif become Cif?
Bring back Spangles!
I see your point, though. In order to keep up with modern trends, perhaps they should change their names to "Hooligan Hoodies" and "Drunken Drug Dens"!!

Hula Hoops should now be Knuckle Dusters, or nukl dstaz :(
And Discos should be rebranded Happy Slaps or hapi slpz
See, I can talk Gypo Text, I'm with it. Mingers.

i minded.
I know what hula hoops are!. What would you change them to?
i suppose you think 20th Century fox are also out of date.
They changed Jif to Cif, even though thats not even a word. (jif indicated the work would be done in a jiffy).
Also oil of Ulay is now Oil of Olay.
It is all to get brand knowledge. Annoys me....

I used to love Discos, but ever since about 2/3 years ago when everyone was scarred about salt, they lost all their flavour and are not no better than Walkers.

No no no! Don't you remember Opal Fruits (now Starburst) and Marathon (now Snickers). Everything is going American or Euro-fied. Leave them as they are.

No the name of 'Hula Hoops' should NOT be changed.
I haven't seen 'Discos' for years.

Hey - who said no one minded! "Snickers"? It sounds like something brought up after a lot of throat clearing! And what would they rename them? Could you really call a packet of crisps "Banging Dance Clubs"?
