#FunFriday: Comeback Brands are Fun Brands

FB - Canada Day WeekendIt’s Friday!! And nothing tops a Friday leading into a long weekend!

So, in honor of all our Canadian friends and users, here’s a quick shout out to everyone celebrating the Canada Day long weekend in the great white north. Have fun and stay safe.

A close second to a holiday weekend Friday, is our weekly bit of silliness – #FunFriday!

We think you’ll really love this week’s topic because it involves dessert, an N*Sync reference and the Man of Steel.

Last week, we gave you a post on things you may have missed. This week, we’re focusing on what you shouldn’t miss …

Will these brands succeed in their comeback conquests? Some yes, and some … well, you’ll just have to read on to find out!

The Greatest Treat in the World … ?

Make way and let the countdown begin for the sweetest comeback so far this summer! It’s true. On July 15, Twinkies will be returning to your local grocery shelves. *Gasp*

Twinkies ReturnAfter going bankrupt in 2012, much to the chagrin of Twinkie fans worldwide, Hostess is now under new management, and is ready to bring the brand back. That’s right, the self-proclaimed, ‘greatest treats the world has ever known’ are back, baby.

So, if you love Twinkies, you may just want to head over to their website where you can watch the countdown clock for the exact second these beloved treats return. Or, you can save your eyes from the blazing-red web page, and sign up to join in the countdown instead. Delish.

 

Myspace…or Yours?

Do you miss being friends with Tom Anderson? You know, the guy who everyone was friends with if they had a MySpace account back in the day? Well, here’s your chance to reconnect.

Within the new Myspace, Anderson is now just a user like everyone else, and we’re intrigued to see whether Justin Timberlake can successfully bring sexy back to the platform.

The new design does look sexy, much like the Windows 8 experience, with a horizontal scroll feature, and square thought bubbles for status updates, photos, and music posts.

It’s fresh, sleek and recognizes that there are other social media platforms out there. You can sign up with a Facebook account, Twitter or just through your email address. It does take a little getting used to, but so does every new social media venture.

Can Myspace make true the old adage ‘what goes around, comes around’, or will we have to say bye, bye, bye? Only time will tell …

 

It’s a Bird! It’s a Plane! It’s a … Comeback?

Over the years, Superman has made a brand for himself. And now, the story is being retold again through the new movie, “Man of Steel.” Superman fans are so excited, new products lines have been springing up seemingly everywhere with “S” branded paraphernalia.

Excluding Christopher Nolan’s popular Batman franchise, Marvel Comics has reigned in the box office. With Spider-Man, Captain America, Thor, Iron Man and The Avengers,  it seems Marvel has been pumping out hit after hit and Superman is no exception.

The film is scoring rave reviews, with an 8/10 rating on IMDB, and 82 percent audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Not bad, Mr. Kent.

Well that’s it for this week’s #FunFriday. Are you enjoying the topics we’ve been sharing here? Anything you want us to cover? Tell us what you think by leaving a comment or leave us some love on our Facebook page.
