Today I leaned that in the UK Kellogg's Frosted flakes are called Frosties. What other American food products have you guys changed the names of?

I cant think of anything, i work in a supermarket and still know little about which foods/drinks originate where....i do know that we call oreos oreos and m & ms are the same and pepsi etc etc.....i think its probably really due to the fact that kellogg's frosted flakes just doesnt have the impact over here....already other brands called frosted flakes and the advertising using 'frosty the tiger' makes the term frosties more co-ordinated with the marketing of the product.....you gotta love frosty the tiger jumping around having amassed his energy suping up on his daily frosted flakes lol

Danone Actimel vs. Dannon Activia (yogurt).
Hellmans/Best Food mayo (this may have changed now to Hellmans in the US too)
Wall's Ice Cream in the UK is Good Humor in the US. Same logo - similar products (both Unilever)

not many really!

Do you guys call Sprinkles... Hundreds and Thousands? Or the Chocolate ones Chocolate Vermiceli?

Some people here call the Jimmies too.

Yep we call em hundreds n thousands and indeed the choc ones we call chocolate vermicelli but most just say chocolate sprinkles (brits trying to speak italian words = difficult...even spaghetti is often called skettie (by commoners)
