Examples such as that of Clorox, or Chiquita s failure in its attempt to move beyond its strong banana association when it tried to extend to frozen juice bars, illustrate what Franzen and Bouwman (2001, p. 54) refer to as the phenomenon of associative inhibition. They quote the further example of the Dutch brand Biotex, a biological detergent, which is so strongly associated with the meaning of prewash that it proved impossible to develop an association with the meaning of main wash for a new line extension. Similarly, Bausch & Lomb’s unsuccessful venture into Bausch & Lomb branded mouthwash was an illustration that the brands primary meaning for consumers (eye-based solutions) inhibited the incorporation of liquid products to be put in the mouth.
