Same brand, different name...
So far, I'm noticing a few things over here that are the same brand as the UK, but have a different name.
Useful if we could compile a list for new expat shoppers or has someone already done that?
I'll start with the no brainer because it's exactly the same design...
UK Aus
Douie Egberts coffee = Moccona

Re: Same brand, different name...
Not this one. Weetabix and Weet-Bix are made by two different companies (Weetabix Ltd and Sanitarium respectively).
Weet-Bix is the original product, invented in NSW during the 1920s. Its Australian inventors started a new company for distribution in Britain during the 1930s, where their product was rebadged as "Weetabix". Consequently, both products are Australian in origin.
There's not much to choose between them, but Weetabix seem to be smaller and sweeter.

Mind you, I am still Old Skool and think that they have weakened Marmite in the UK over the years.. I remember the time when a jar would last about 6 months in the cupboard and if you spread more than a tiny drop on to your toast, it would take your head off..
