On: Visiting the annual Braun collectors fair

Tricky to confirm (no need to follow links), but the first hits on Amazon UK[0], Amazon AU[1], Amazon US[2] are clearly labelled Braun in the images. Amazon Germany[3] and Amazon France[4] too.

Yes, but they still feature the "Braun" co-branding on the device, but the primary naming/branding is always "Oral-B".

[gnabgib → Reason077]

The co-branding is because the device (electronics) are Braun, and the bristles/brush-heads are Oral-B.

[Reason077 → gnabgib]

Well, yes, but both the toothbrushes and the brush heads are sold only with the "Oral-B" name in most countries. That is: Braun logo still appears on the device, but not in the product name, box, and marketing materials.

Don't use Amazon for reference, use something like Boots and you'll confirm it immediately.

Alright, here you go https://www.boots.com/oral-b-pro-3-3900--black-and-pink-elec...

Going to the American Boots site is malicious compliance at its finest. I actually lol'd.

[Reason077 → piltdownman]

Huh? It goes to the UK Boots site for me. Where Oral-B toothbrushes are definitively called "Oral-B".

Does Boots even operate in the USA? They're part of the same parent company as Walgreens so I'd be surprised if they did.
