Some interesting people run down a nostalgic trip down memory lane(links below).. with how in the 90's, young minds were attracted to this drink brand 'Gold Spot'
...I too remembered days collecting the crowns of these bottled drinks for gifts, collecting big-fun bubble gum stickers for cricketer photographs, and also of close to 1500 maggi two-minute noodle covers for gifts. These days, what do kids do.. Harry potter, harry potter, all the time, and the gadgets that come in it.. like nimpus 2000 broomstick, or the abraca-dabra with a magic wand. Poor fellas, today's kids.

@ Financial Express: wondering what financial express is doing with nostalgic trips on that brand?.. the author is Rahul Jauhari, executive creative director of a very big AD agency.
The original goldSpot logo, as it was in india in the 1990's:
Now, seems like 'Gold Spot' is not used anywhere.. at least not on drinks.
The above photo shows a netcafe in portugal which calls itself 'Gold Spot internet cafe'.. and if you think that is brand-hijack, notice the color changes they have made to the logo of Gold Spot.
