Being an Indian kid, there are things we just all grow up with. Our parents introduce it to us and we introduce it to our kids. Ofcourse there is a huge bias that sets in as parents and we tend to pass that onto our kids. We are ready for the change but no matter how many years go by these brands just make us believe that they are good, they are healthy and they are right for us.

1. Camlin Stationery: Remember those ink bottles we use to purchase for our fountain pens. Camel was synonymous with ink and then stationery products and geometry sets. I don’t remember using any other brand stationery all throughout school. And now though the company has become Camlin, their signature products are still available in an improved fashion.
2. Fusen Gums: The fascination I had with Fusen gum was insane. I remember buying a bunch of them just for the tattoos that were in its wrappers to get my favourite design. I want my little ones to experience the fun in chewing this sweet gum and then scouting for tattoos
3. Parle G Biscuits: “G for Genius” biscuits have been in the Indian market for the longest time. We Indian kids grow up eating Parle G. Whether it’s for school breaks, evening milk or a hunger pang. Parle G biscuits were something parents never said no too! I think the best part about Parle G is the accessibility. You can never not get it in any part of India. It still tastes the same and it’s something that just gives you that instant glucose that you need. 
4. Dairy Milk: Yes, Kuch Meetha Hojae has been the most eaten chocolate to India. It’s the first preference to give out on birthdays in schools, treating friends, killing the “I want something sweet” urge. And with the new flavours, Dairy Milk is still every kids favourite. I still remember those days when we received it in school and we kept it in between our books to flatten out and use them to write over.

5. Eclairs: Dairy milk eclairs were always an option when had a rupee to buy something. This toffee was another option to distribute in school and everyone loved it.You can never say no to an eclairs even now. It’s hard to resist.
6. Maggi Noodles( the original without atta or vegetables or oats): The saviour to last minute hunger pangs and anything else. Maggi Masala has been India’s favourite instant noodle mix. Though the girls haven’t tried it yet I am sure someday it will be too tempting and hard for me to stop them. But I know that they know just what it is.

7. Amul Butter: An utterly butterly start to mornings! Amul has been a trusted food brand of India. Indian families have been eating Amul butter following their generations. And everyone loves the Amul hoardings! While you sure have healthier butter options but a lot of foods just don’t taste as good without the Original Butter.Think Pav Bhaji and Bun Maska.
8. Gems: Cadbury Gems is another great product of the Cadbury family. The rainbow coloured chocolate has been tried by every Indian kid. And is a favourite for many. The Indian M & M’s are so tempting , it’s hard to resist popping one.
9. Colgate: Colgate has been the number 1 brand when it comes to oral care. It has range of Toothbrushes and Tooth pastes. Colgate has been a trusted brand since a long time in India. You may flirt with a lot of the brands but sure to come back.
10. Glucon D: Gluon-D is the preferred choice in summer when the heat drains out body glucose. The energy drink gives instant energy & rejuvenation and comes in various flavours. It’s safe and the first thing you reach out to in summers.
