What’s your favorite brand name?

Annually, once-popular companies seem to fall by the wayside, as business analysts and customers scratch their heads in wonders. Occasionally, economists and market watchers predict these demises. Often, however, household names simply vanish.

24/7 Wall St. publishes perennial lists of brand names they expect to disappear. The calculations are based on company disclosures, falling sales figures, rising  costs, bankruptcy filings, market share reductions and other related factors.

Last year, they correctly predicted the disappearance of T-Mobile and Blockbuster.
