The most recent XKCD strip is, for Canadians, shockingly old hat. Because Canadians have had access to No Name since 1978. Randall Munroe is quite correct when he asserts that he would “build brand identity overnight,” because that is exactly what happened with No Name – it was immensely successful for Loblaws when they introduced […]
