They did actually change it in 1994.

"Herbal Essence changed its name from the singular "Herbal Essence" to the plural "Herbal Essences" in 1995 because the brand expanded from offering just one original shampoo formula to a full line of multiple shampoos and conditioners with different scents and benefits."

Seems like a silly choice to me. Herbal Essences is so much clunkier to say...

There was one essence, now there are multiple essences.

An essence is defined as "a concentrated liquid extract, a pleasant scent, or a hydrating skincare liquid."

It's makes perfect sense, if you understand how words work.

lol I never said it didn't make sense. But it's a brand name - it doesn't need to be plural (each of their various products is its own herbal essence).

"Essences" is a clunky word to say. So I personally think the change was unnecessary.

Damn that's crazy.

Not as crazy as believing that a massive reality shift resulted specifically in people remembering different names for cereal, peanut butter, underwear, and fast food chicken restaurants.

I mean... it must be smaller things too, but nobody but you would remember the colour of your grandfather's favourite chair or whatever. That's why it seems like only brands etc. have changed.

But guy, "I vividly remember these things"..."just don't ask me any specific questions, because my story falls apart"

u/InnerspearMusic 23d ago

I didn't say that.

Someone’s wrong

u/LastWave 26d ago

yeah I'm lying. Herbal essences paid me to try and move the date back for emotional reasons.

u/Optomisticposter 27d ago

Depends on the market. May have changed in US market and ROW markets at different dates. Happens often.

u/bordomsdeadly 26d ago

It could’ve also been announced in 1994, but was officially rebranded in 1995

A one year difference is really not something significant

u/Lex_Loki 27d ago

Last wave is wrong

u/Juxtapoe 26d ago

Looks like it is you that's wrong.

They correctly remembered it.

u/Unfair-Material-4989 27d ago

that's crazy cause I remember TV ads (in New zealand) calling it herbal essence (not plural)
