I worked at a TJ Maxx and in the US it is owned by TJX Companies (HomeGoods is also owned under this company heading). It's not necessarily a brand per say as the other are as the premise of the store is to receive overstock and unsold brand name goods from larger department stores and/or direct from brand websites. These new overstock goods are then sold from anywhere from 80% or lower the original retail price.

Living in the middle of the atlantic, some wholesales buy from US and some from UK. That's why we can go between stores and see both Lay's and Walker's or Axe and Lynx.

[@Mr.Goldbar]

This is what these brands are called in Israel. Lays/Walkers: "Tapuchips" Burger King: Burger King (very unpopular tho, we only have 16 locations) Vodafone: we don't have it, our top communication companies are Bezeq, Hot, Cellcom and Partner McDonald's: McDonald's, no nickname TJ/TK Maxx: we don't have it Axe/Lynx: Axe

Jack Cowan opened the first Hungry Jacks in Perth in 1971. I went to the second store to open in Australia that year

In Australia, the TK Maxx shops we have now actually used to be called Trade Secret. I think it was only relatively recently (by that I mean last few years) that TJX bought out/acquired Trade Secret and changed them into the TK Maxx brand.

Hungry Jack's Pty Ltd. is an Australian fast-food franchise of the Burger King Corporation. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Competitive Foods Australia, a privately held company owned by Jack Cowin. Hungry Jack's owns and operates or sub-licenses all of the Burger King/Hungry Jack's restaurants in Australia.

[@benjamincase1038]

2:15 I thought Lay's ( which used to be Walker's in the US, but then the maker of the chips used the name Walker's for somehting else and renamed them, but what are now the US Walker's are called something different in the UK so they could keep the brand name in their origin country ) were SMITH'S in Australia.

In South Africa Lays crisps(chips) are made by Simba Chips and when I went to Australia I saw that Lays was made by Smiths. Another interesting one was that in South Africa Dairy Maid ice cream is part of Nestlé and in Australia it is made by Peters. Also what we have in South Africa as Ola ice cream was made by someone else, it may even have been the old Walls brand but I can't remember now

I remember stories, about a very particular kind of prank(use to be popular to do in school. Less so now due to the policy on aerosol sprays) called an "axe bomb". You take a can of axe, tape down the trigger thing on the top, and quickly throw it into a room. And the smell is so overpowering in the aftermath. That the recipient will smell like axe for days afterwards. (Its borderline chemical warfare).

[@cadeflavin3546]

In my middle school many of the boys and girls knew Axe as a shower in a can, because they didn't shower, but they would basically shower in Axe body spray

For those who don't know: Vodacom is a company that was started in South Africa in 1994 as a 50/50 partnership between Telkom and vodafone, and - along with MTN - was one of the first mobile netework operators in the country. In 2008, Vodafone took over the majority of the company and they rebranded a few years later with the logo, but not the name.
