It's Opal Fruits, by the way.

And see this for the BBC's view on the subject.

Basically we had to change to fit in with the rest of the world.

There's various products with different names elsewhere.

e.g. in South Africa.
Maltesers (sp?) are called Whispers
Mini Eggs are made by Nestlé not Cadbury's (and are ****e)

And Opal Fruits changing was rubbish.

And didn't they buckle on Coco Pops?

The government should take a stand and pass a law giving the people control of all confectionary brand names.

"Opal Fruits" sound like something a liberal arts student would put under his tongue.

yeah, iirc they claimed that it was some sort of trial, and scored advertising points by allowing the public to vote in which one they liked the best.
