It explains the name "Gluhfix" on some tea bag-like sachets of spices that I bought in the 1970's on a skiing holiday in Austria for making (instant) mulled wine.Ronnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-2790785557249017002015-11-20T12:57:22.130+00:002015-11-20T12:57:22.130+00:00Funny, my first Impression was that this is a plac...Funny, my first Impression was that this is a place where you can get your daily caffeine fix.

It is ubiquitous enough that I would have thought to be generic in character, but I did find registrations.<br /><br />There is the 100-year old German active brand "<a href="https://register.dpma.de/DPMAregister/marke/register/508405/DE" rel="nofollow">Teefix</a>", inter alia for teabags. <br /><br />The same device was used to coin <a href="https://register.dpma.de/DPMAregister/marke/register/2027056/DE" rel="nofollow">Kaffeefix</a> [dead] and <a href="https://register.dpma.de/DPMAregister/marke/register/305362143/DE" rel="nofollow">COFFEEFIX</a> [active; many instant products are claimed, not including tea].<br /><br />For the dollar stores, aren't these the successors of your old nickel-and-dime shops such as Woolworth's? The concept is also present in Europe, I saw "Euroland" in the Netherlands.Roufousse T.

So much so that it appears that a competitor is out there under the COFIZZ trade mark, if you believe Wikipedia, which of course I do. http://www.globes.co.il/en/article-cofix-and-cofizz-cafe-logo-conflict-heats-up-1000994467 appears to confirm this.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07627881738178004308noreply@blogger.com
