I remember when Old Navy was first founded, I thought it was an odd choice of brand name. Doesn't "old" have negative connotations? Why would anyone put it in a brand name?

But then I thought harder, and I was able to think of several more brands containing the word "old". It conveys nostalgia for simpler times and better quality.

TRIVIA QUIZ: How many brands can YOU think of with the word "OLD"?

Maybe I'll give some hints. V_Mags_Fox mentioned a spice blend, a beer and a cologne.

I'm thinking of some more "Old ___" brands that are:
A homemade taco kit
Potato chips
Cigarettes (ugh cough cough)
Two different restaurants
A trucking line

There may be even more that I haven't thought of! Can you think of any?
