I'm getting awfully confused here.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulmers

http://uk.biz.yahoo.com/06052006/17/...d-magners.html

As far as I can make out Magners is called Bulmers in ROI but cannot be called Bulmers outwith ROI because they do not own the trademark for 'Bulmers' outwith ROI, hence it is called Magners. The Bulmers Original cider which we see now competing with Magners is actually produced by English compant HP Bulmer. The company which makes Magners was affiliated with the English Bulmers company for some time but this ended in 1949, hence the product known as 'Magners' has never been called Bulmers in Great Britain. Magners was launched in Great Britain in 2003 and was a new brand to the market.

Anyway this is all straying from the point rather a lot. Actually the whole soco argument is straying from the point but never mind. I don't know why I hate the Southern comfort ad so much but it bugs the arse off me, and if I heard someone ordering a 'soco' in my local I'd have to urge to stab them in the eye with a fork. It's just such bullshit, it's like they're embarassed to call it 'Southern Comfort' any more because it sounds too old or too uncool or something. I think I'll start ordering Bo Sa and tonic and see how far I get.
