The Ferrero Group has a successful and popular product (Tic Tac) that has remained a top competitor in the breath mint industry. They have been able to remain competitive by upgrading their product throughout the years. Tic Tac 's brand recognition began in 1969 and The Ferrero Group started to introduce new flavors in the 1970s. In the 1980s, to keep up with the health craze, they marketed Tic Tac as "The 1 1/2 Calorie Breath Mint". They would also introduce many other flavors over the next 20 years to further diversify flavor options.
In my opinion, the most innovative idea was the flip-top packaging in a clear container. This packaging design distinguished Tic Tac from other breath mints. However, Tic Tac could not remain at the top forever. Other mints, such as the Altoids, began to enter the market and threaten Tic Tac 's competitive edge. The Ferrero Group saw this as another opportunity for change. In 2008, they introduced the Tic Tac Chill. The Chill mints were expected to cater for the "sugar free" and "strong flavoring" product segments, two of the fastest growing segments in the United States. The Ferrero Group found profound interest from their target market of consumers in the 25 to 45 age group. They also introduced this new mint with a new packaging. The new packaging continued to maintain the essence of the classic packaging. It still featured a transparent design and the flip-top. However, the Chill mints package was dual-use. It contained a wide

Before Hitler and his Nazi party took over Germany to diminish all “evil” or “disgrace” from the country, it was one of the most open-minded countries to gay men and women. They could live freely without the constant fear of being persecuted or getting sentenced to prison. “Branded by the Pink Triangle” by Ken Setterington offers a perceptive of gay men who once were accepted in society had to fend for themselves and hide their true identity from the public if they wanted a chance to live a normal life. It also explains how they were mistreated once they were persecuted.
The article “Are Brand Names Really Better ?” by Kristen Lewis demonstrates that brand-named items aren’t really better than the non-named brands. The article displays how people are spending all of their money on really expensive things like Nike sneakers and Beats headphones , when the ones that don’t have fancy little tags on them cost less money. Some people think that just because the product has tags on it makes them feel like they belong or they want to fit in with everybody else.
In the 1800’s in America, you don’t really expect candy to be that great unless you’re wealthy. An average American would eat around 8 pounds of candy per year. Nowadays, an American eats an average of 130 pounds per year, and the way that this happened was all because of Chase Lozenges. Chase started off the giant world of candy that

In addition to the new size and sugar free ingredients, Tic Tac Chill offered new flavors, Paradise Mint and Exotic Cherry. Lastly, Tic Tac was offered in new packaging. The new packaging had a wide slide-top opening which enables one-handed access for consumers in addition to its iconic clear, flip-top packaging. Having Introduced these three major changes to Tic Tac mints, consumers were now presented with completely new options, an essential move to reach out to customers. These new options allowed people with a diebetic diet a new option for breath mints. The launch of the new Tic Tac was a great opportunity for them to introduce their product to reach a vast variety of customers but because they were not quick enough to offer a breath mint to fit the needs of their "current" customers, they lost their spot at the number one breath mint provider.

In society today, everything has a name for it. If the product doesn’t have a well-known name, it goes by name that a well-known product that is similar goes by. Branding has made its impact on society and it’s never going to go away. In this situation, all we can do from here is analyze more and more until we fully understand its presence in society and its effects. Branding has its biggest effects on consumerism, which makes us question consumerisms power in society.

Branding creates competition amongst companies throughout the world and creates a competition for the consumers. Not only, it also creates issues, creates
