    tbh why not just change the name? Important thing is people get fed and the workers have a living. Why hold water for an American brand? Call them chavismo corn flakes and the only thing that changes is people know who abandoned them and who stood up to feed them as well as getting some suits off your back.

      Probably because they have all the crap set up for printing the Kellogg boxes, why bother? They probably also just think it's funny to make them mad by breaking copyright law

      because it's hilarious and awesome. when the cubans took over the rum distilleries and continued making Havana Club it was awesome. the heirs all fled and had to start all over again elsewhere, and they branded their new product "The Real Havana Club" with basically the same logo + "real" inserted into it. and it's just hilarious, because everyone knows it's the new shit from a new place (neither in Havana or in Cuba), new process, different raw materials, etc. it's a total victory for the workers to literally seize everything, including the name.
