		<description>Strangely enough, the avocado was something I also picked up on -  both supermarkets seem to claim that they introduced it to the nation's collective palate.

I think that brands are marketing nostalgia as an answer to today's corporate, plastic society.  Although it's contradictory, nostalgic marketing resonates more personally with consumers.  We're much happier to buy into a brand that promotes 'traditional' values, when in fact, it's simply another marketing strategy.  It's a real case of feeding consumers what they want.</description>
