Chili's, yes. And actually, I've always felt you could get a good meal at Chili's for the $$.

Applebee's...well...I'll agree to disagree.

Apple was on life support until the iPod (then iPhone relatively soon on that).

The pivot from an artsy, hippie competitor with Windows-based PCs to the definitive personal device maker was a trillion dollar pivot.

Apple is the winner. In the late 90’s and early 2000’s they were almost bust. Now they are worth about the entire GDP of the Netherlands.

Marvel is another. Again, In the 90’s, marvel was almost bust and worth less than a dollar a share. 10 years later Disney bought them for over 4 billion.

I don't think Apple falls in the category of rebranding.

Apple made a technology adaptation by placing sim cards in their iPods to make the iPhone and creating the Apple Ecosystem around it, and subsequently crushing Blackberry.

IMO positive rebranding just means getting more sales out of existing products. Technological advancement is another category.

Trojan had a nice rebrand after that incident with the fake horse back in the day. They’re a nice little condom company these days.

For a while it seemed they were so easy to steal it was like they all were.

I guess part of their rebranding was rectifying that issue?
