I don't know, and I don't care what the story is behind Germolene rebranding as Bepantispetic but frankly, anyone who is able to remember the new name and ask for it at the pharmacy is a robot, right? 
@jjcelery Very easy to remember, just be pantie skeptic.
@szescstopni well now I totally wont forget, robot man
@jjcelery that's waaaaay worse than Marathon rebranding as Snickers!
@Polyhymnia they still print "formerly germolene" on the tube, and all the pharmacists will give you the right thing when you ask for germolene so I think we're safe for now.
I don't think you can ask for a Marathon in the shop anymore without attracting some weird looks
@jjcelery have they kept the dark blue tube?
@Polyhymnia no, it's white with a blue and orange print and text.
In all fairness I appreciate the new colours, because it used to be too easy to mix up germolene and bonjella 
@jjcelery which AI came up with that name? Septic panties?
@Polyhymnia it is so very dumb
