I can't say whether the products have changed but I know for a fact that the "satisfaction guarantee" on Mead's "Five Star" line has changed since 1998. Maybe the company who bought them would've changed it anyway, but independent Mead screwed up enough over that policy and some persistent kids that a buyer dropped out of a deal pretty late-on citing a morals clause or something like it and got out without penalty. Dropped Mead's slipping value by one or two thirds (I forget) and the company was still down a quarter from it's high in 98 when it was sold a couple/few years later. First I'd heard of a company using one of those reputation-restoring advisors in real life. Over 8th graders trying to find out wtf was going on with the "100% satisfaction guarantee". As the person delegated to send certain higher-ups emails once we started getting those addresses... it might be I got it changed.

Now the guarantee applies to the whole product regarding usability and lasts a year. It used to apply only to one specific feature kept secret. That's one thing I do know changed about some of their products.
