    Some of these must have been plays on their name that they knew worked well. Like price club, taco bell which used a bell for a logo.

    But why unilever for lever brothers? Bilever would be more accurate.

      Price Club is an amazing play on the name.

      But how good is Taco Bell? Stick the last name into the brand, then shove the image of a bell into the logo for no particular reason as far as Mexican-inspired food is concerned. Guess the proof’s in the pudding.

      Unilever: it was the brothers’ marriage into business! They became one. …not sure if they co-CEO’d it though.
