...to add to this frustration, I discovered that they are still called "Coco Pops" in France!

That's my childhood memories they are messing with there! What if I am talking to my little cousin and she doesn't know what "Coco Pops" are, because they are called "Choco Krispies" these days? Evil!

That's what's known as a marketing gimmick. They did it so that people would complain and they could then hold an internet-based poll to ask whether it should be changed back. As a result, it changed back to Coco Pops in the UK a few years ago.

And I'm grateful, because "Because we'd rather have a bowl of Choco Krispies!" really didn't fit the tune they've used for years .
