The Luckyverse/Companies

== 7-Eleven ==
* Slurpees and Big Gulps are available in the Japanese states, and Slurpees are also available in Mexico.
* During the summer months, Slurpees are sold at Johnson’s fast-food chains, including McDonald's, Howard Johnson's, and Kenny Rogers Roasters.
* They have made various different promotions.
== News Corporation ==
* The News International phone hacking scandal wouldn’t happen and News Corporation and 21st Century Fox would remain as one single company, using the 2013 logo of the current incarnation IOTL.
* In this AU, the Walt Disney Company would acquire 21st Century Fox.
** Because of this, 20th Century Fox wasn't renamed to 20th Century Studios, and the 2009 logo is still used (namely, an enhanced version by Picturemill introduced in 2020 with the same appearance as the OTL 20th Century Studios logo, albeit with the old 20th Century Fox name), while its legal name is still Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation. Its print logo was redesigned to look more accurate to the film logo. Also, the Fox logos now appear at the end of all Fox films.
* Other Fox-branded subsidiaries such as Fox Searchlight Pictures, Fox Star Studios, 20th Century Fox Television (whose logo was redesigned in 2020 to resemble the theatrical logo introduced the same year; 20th Television also received this design), 20th Century Fox Animation, and Zero Day Fox still bear the Fox name.
** The 20th Century Fox Television and 20th Television logos' animation is similar to the 2007 enhancement of the 1995 logo; this is also true of most other Fox television subsidiaries with logos based on the 20th Century Fox logo. A new 30th Television logo was also created for syndication prints of Futurama, as Tim criticized the older version as "hella cheap"; the new 20th Television logo always comes after the original 20th Century Fox Television logo (rather than replacing it) in Johnson-era syndication prints.
** Fox Searchlight Television's logo is based on the one for Fox Searchlight Pictures, with no camera movements. Its music is the same as OTL's Searchlight Television logo.
** The December 2022 20th Digital Studio logo still exists, but with the Zero Day Fox name instead.
* Fox's international channels are still active as well, all using the Fox name and 2019 logo in orange.
* Blue Sky Studios did not shut down, with Nimona releasing on January 14, 2022 as planned (which is almost exactly the same as OTL's Netflix/Annapurna version aside from the opening logos, as well as the painted CGI style being more refined; it was distributed by 20th Century Fox instead of Disney as well), and other projects in production. Also, a director's cut of Robots was released in January 2020.
* Fox 2000 Pictures is still active, receiving an onscreen logo in 2020 along with 20th Century Fox Animation.
* Fox Star Studios' logo remains the same, except it was enhanced in 2020 to resemble the Picturemill 20th Century Fox design, with the Star logo updated to the 2011 version instead of the 2001 logo. Also, the Indian-style arrangement of the Fox fanfare was still introduced in 2022.
* Fox Television Studios was brought back as a rebrand from Fox 21 Television Studios. Its animation is based on the logo of the old incarnation, though with the 2009 structure. Fox World was revived in 2021, with its logo based on its original incarnation.
* Fox Television Animation was still relaunched as an independent subsidiary from 20th Century Fox Television in 2021, taking control of all 20th Century Fox animated series. Its onscreen logo is similar to the other 20th Century Fox television divisions' logos, though it's made to look like it was drawn on paper using a pen.
* Fox Television Stations Productions was revived, co-producing Cops (which returned to Fox in 2019) and a revival of America's Most Wanted, among other series.
* Fox News Channel wouldn’t be biased.
* Fox Sports was given new graphics starting in 2019; among the changes were a new logo (with FS1's wordmark being placed inside the redesigned oval), as well as the addition of one to four-minute bumpers focusing on Cleatus (now voiced by Tim Johnson) in random scenarios themed to sports.
* Cleatus also stars in a 4D film called Fox Sports: The Great Football Caper at World of Fox.
* The Big Ten Network saw Pete Calandra's music package being reinstated with the 2020 rebrand, and The Big Ten's Greatest Games being brought back.
* Fox switched to an orange print logo in 2019 (though the branding is otherwise identical), and still uses its 2001 and 2003 generic themes; its four-note mnemonic is based on the final four notes of the 20th Century Fox theme, though the instrumentation is otherwise identical to OTL's 2019 mnemonic. In 2023, it switched to a new graphics package involving the Fox structure (which shows the Fox wordmark on the 2009 20th Century Fox logo; the abstract Fox shapes are present on the bottom structure below the Fox wordmark, as well as several other locations around the structure in endtags and stings; comedy stings have a brief shake as the camera settles into the usual Fox structure view, Animation Domination stings use a 2D version of the Fox structure, and drama stings use a darker sky and searchlights). The logos for Fox network divisions such as Fox Entertainment and Fox Alternative Entertainment were also changed to show their respective print logos on the Fox structure. The "Viewer Discretion is Advised" bumpers use the generic themes, with their backdrop (also used by split-screen credits and bumpers) consisting of the sky and searchlights from the 20th Century Fox movie logo. Finally, the screenbug animation consists of a rectangle with the left searchlight swooping, followed by the right swooping as well (both showing the abstract Fox wordmark); both searchlights come together, revealing the 2019 Fox wordmark (this section resembles the 1996-99 Fox logo), before the rectangles and searchlights fade out. The Fox print logo was also made gold.
* Star India was not renamed to Disney Star. It also adopted the logo and branding of OTL's Star content hub on international versions of Disney+.
* Twentieth Century House in Soho is still 20th Century Fox's UK headquarters.
* A new arrangement of the 20th Century Fox fanfare by Thomas Newman (recorded with a 65-piece orchestra on the Newman Scoring Stage, using elements from various different versions of the fanfare, with the additions of an added Timpani crescendo roll underneath the opening brass melody, as well as a wider percussion section with added bells and chimes) was unveiled in January 2020 and made its film debut in February. It is also used for other Fox subsidiaries (aside from Fox Star Studios), and television studios such as 20th Century Fox Television a rearrangement of the 1997 TCFTV fanfare, also by Newman.
== Aardman ==
* The 1998 print logo is still used.
== Blockbuster ==
* Due to Blockbuster weathering the Great Depression much better, it still exists as a chain.
* There are still physical locations and franchises being opened, as Blockbuster wasn't purchased by Dish Network.
* Game Rush is still around as well, both as a section within Blockbuster and as standalone stores.
* Its logo was altered in 2021, using thicker lines and the wordmark from OTL's streaming service in Denmark.
* Blockbuster Express vending machines still exist.
* Big Ticket Television is known as Blockbuster Television (IOTL this was Big Ticket Television's originally planned name due to being a Blockbuster affiliate at the time but Blockbuster's then-head denied permission). Here are the descriptions for its closing logos:
** 1995-1999: Against a gray background, a blue CGI ticket flips in and zooms out with a yellow streak flying across it. The streak wedges inside the ticket and turns into the yellow outline. The words "BLOCKBUSTER TELEVISION" fade in. Its music is the same as OTL's Big Ticket Productions logo, but without the "mmm!" sound.
** 1999-2021: Against a white background, the blue ticket flies in from the left to the center, and the yellow outline is drawn on the ticket as the words "BLOCKBUSTER TELEVISION" fade in.
** 2021-present: Against a blue background, the full ticket is shown completely straight with the words "BLOCKBUSTER TELEVISION", before a bit of it is torn off. The remaining fragment flies into place on the center.
== Cartoon Network ==
* Boomerang was expanded as a cable channel in 2008; it still focuses on classic theatrical shorts and animated series from Hanna-Barbera, Johnson, MGM, and Warner Bros., with series from the 1990s and 2000s also being shown. A new graphics package and logo were still introduced in 2015, though they're still based on the 2000 graphics and the announcer is still Jeff Bergman instead of Colin Dean.
* Toonami moved to the Adult Swim network the day after it ended its run on Cartoon Network. It launched on September 2, 2008, beginning the TOM 3.5 era that lasted from September 21 of that year to September 22, 2013.
* Cartoon Network's "skull" logo is still in use at the end of Adult Swim series, mostly after the Williams Street logo.
* Cartoon Network Studios is still a division of Hanna-Barbera; since 2001, Cartoon Network Studios' closing logo has been shown between the Hanna-Barbera and Cartoon Network Productions logos at the end of every Cartoon Network original series. Also, it did not merge into Warner Bros. Animation in 2022, nor did it leave its headquarters in 2023. From 2010 to 2017, it used OTL's 2013 logo, but with the 1992 Cartoon Network logo. Since 2017, it was modified to show the "STUDIOS" text in the checkerboard style (similar to a short-lived 1997 logo).
** Cartoon Network Studios Europe would later use this same style for its logo from 2017 to 2021, when it rebranded to Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe.
* Some series such as Teen Titans Go!, the Powerpuff Girls and Ben 10 reboots, and ThunderCats Roar do not exist, period.
* Cartoon Network still makes theatrical feature films; the opening logo from The Powerpuff Girls Movie is used, though updated over the years with more modern characters.
* As Adult Swim never left Latin America, all seasons of series such as Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Squidbillies are dubbed in Latin American Spanish, with all cast members (except for those who are either retired or deceased) remaining throughout those shows' respective runs. Said series also received Japanese dubs.
* Christina Miller never became the CEO.
* Cartoon Network's attempts at live-action series were rejected.
* The Top 5s were revived in 2015.
* In early 2017, the Cartoon Cartoons branding and Cartoon Cartoon Fridays were revived, both using the logo of OTL's Cartoon Cartoons shorts program (which is instead named "What A Cartoon!" after the Hanna-Barbera anthology series).
* Cartoon Network Wacky Racing (a program that sponsored in NASCAR from 1996 to 2000) was brought back in 2011.
* The Adult Swim layoffs of November 2020 never happened, and the livestreams are still produced, with Williams Street West and Williams Street East still in operation. Also, Mike Lazzo was dismissed in 2013, with Tim explaining that "he was a dinosaur".
== Disney ==
=== American Broadcasting Company ===
* The One Saturday Morning block is still active.
* The ABC Special Presentation card was updated to the 2013 and later 2021 brandings.
=== Branding, divisions, and names ===
* Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures wasn’t renamed to Buena Vista Pictures Distribution.
* Buena Vista Home Entertainment is still active as a distributor.
* Buena Vista Television wasn’t renamed Disney-ABC Domestic Television.
* Walt Disney Television is still active.
* Walt Disney Television Animation wasn’t renamed to Disney Television Animation.
* Disney Wonderful World of Reading had its apostrophe-s readded.
=== Characters ===
* Mickey's shorts’ buttons are now permanently yellow. This change carried over to the Disney parks, as well as the Disney Junior shows.
*
* Tony Anselmo was appointed as "Official Donald Consultant", providing input on the character.
=== Logos ===
* Logo plastering with modern logos came to an end; all modern releases of older films preserve their original logos.
* While the 2022 logo still exists ITTL, there are several major changes from OTL:
** For one, it’s made by TBA instead of Industrial Light and Magic.
** The lighting and color palette are similar to those in the 2006 logo.
** Tinker Bell’s glow is gold instead of blue/white to better suggest that it even is Tinker Bell the “camera” follows (the second star to the right at the beginning still starts off in its normal color, only turning gold (at least visually) as Tinker Bell emerges from the water). The arc is also colored gold.
** The runtime is shorter, being the same as the 2006 logo.
** Various visual elements, such as the passing train and the fireworks, are more realistic, as is the sound design.
** The first three fireworks are just normal ones instead of being Mickey head-shaped (the two other Mickey head-shaped fireworks are kept).
** The arc above the castle near the end comes from the right instead of the left, and goes by slower and smoother.
** The text at the end reads “Walt Disney Pictures” (with "Walt Disney" in the slightly slimmer script font from the 2006 logo and "PICTURES" in the Trajan Bold font) instead of just "Disney" in the standard font.
** Christophe Beck still composes the new logo’s music.
* Hollywood Pictures uses a completely different logo used since 2016, inspired by the Walk of Fame.
=== Remasters of classic Disney series ===
All remasters of series originally presented in 4:3 are in their original aspect ratio rather than being cropped to 16:9 widescreen.
=== Television channels/blocks ===
==== Disney Channel ====
* All Disney Channel original series still use the "Disney Channel Original" logo at the end.
* The Wand IDs since 2014 have different graphics; the glow sticks remain instead of being replaced by magic wands, and there are also no generic locales for backgrounds.
* Its 2022 logo (with the addition of Mickey ears) was introduced to the US.
==== Disney Junior ====
* Several Disney Junior shows are mostly the same as in OTL, one difference being that shows in which episodes’ titles are read still have the titles of the episodes shown onscreen as they're said.
* In Roadster Racers/Mixed-Up Adventures, Donald is voiced by regular voice actor Tony Anselmo instead of Daniel Ross, who instead voices several minor characters. Also, Grandpa Beagle acts very much like he does in the comics, as well as wearing his mask.
* Bluey was still picked up by Disney Junior, with a difference being that there’s less gags cut than in OTL (only the scenes with horse feces shown onscreen were cut/edited, for obvious reasons); certain pieces of dialogue from the original version also go unedited. Also, episodes don't take as long to air/stream in the US.
* A flat 2D version of the Disney Junior logo was adopted in 2017, alongside an updated graphics package.
=== ESPN ===
* ESPN SpeedWorld is still ongoing.
* Its coverage isn't nearly as biased, and overall ESPN and its sister networks haven't seen nearly as much controversy.
* It focuses more on other sports such as the MLB and NHL than on football, college basketball or individual athletes.
* It does not have a partnership with DraftKings.
* First Take is not biased towards athletes, nor does it have issues in its treatment of race.
* ESPN used a different graphics package between 1998 and 2003 due to ABC Sports using that package as well (though the 1998-2006 ESPN SpeedWorld opening and the associated ESPN logo variant still exist, the latter being used as a screenbug for motorsports broadcasts).
* The 1985 ESPN microphone flag was retained until 2004, when it was replaced with the redesigned microphone flag from OTL. The design was still changed again in 2017, albeit it's still three-sided (instead of four), and the full ESPN logo is used, with the rounded rectangle absent.
== ITV ==
Each ITV affiliate still has a unique identity instead of using ITV1. As a result, here's a list of the current identities for ITV all over the UK:
* London: Carlton (weekdays) and London Weekend Television (weekends)
* North West England: Granada
* Midlands: Central
* Yorkshire and Lincolnshire: Yorkshire Television
* Northeast England: Tyne Tees Television
* East England: Anglia
* West England: Westcountry (launched in 2009)
* South and Southeast England: Meridian
* Southwest England: Westcountry
* English-Scottish border: Border Television
* Northern Scotland: Grampian Television (still owned by STV but retained its older logo with STV's color scheme)
* Central Scotland: STV
* Wales: HTV
* Northern Ireland: UTV
* Channel Islands: Channel Television
== The Coca-Cola Company ==
* The corporate logo in the Coca-Cola font is still used.
* Mr. Pibb is still available (with Pibb Xtra as a variation), as is Tab. Mr. Pibb changed its logo in 2001, resembling the Pibb Xtra logo.
* Surge was never discontinued; it was given a rebrand in 2005 that somewhat resembles Vault’s branding IOTL; Vault never existed due to being too similar. Both Surge and Mello Yello were put on the Coca Cola Freestyle around the same time (since its debut) and both remain to this day. Surge was redesigned again in 2016, now using branding inspired by its 1997 logo.
* Coca-Cola Life was never discontinued, either.
* Diet Coke currently uses its Coca-Cola-styled script logo (used in the UK between 2015 and 2021 IOTL), introduced around the same time as the UK, and retains the Dynamic Ribbon. This was to make its identity closer to that of Coca-Cola.
** Also, the script "Coke" logo replaced the sans-serif "Coke" logo, again to better line with the main Coca-Cola identity; all Coca-Cola products also adopted the 2015 packaging design until 2021, when they switched to OTL's redesign (though "ORIGINAL TASTE" on the Coca-Cola can is instead "SINCE 1886", and the 2015 Diet Coke logo was retained).
* New Coke is still sold under the Coke II label, using the 2015 "Coke" script logo; it was temporarily rebranded to New Coke in summer 2019 as a way of promoting Stranger Things 3 on Netflix, complete with the original 1985 design.
* Glass bottles are still used in various sizes along with plastic ones.
* Sprite is still available in green bottles.
* Most modern Coca-Cola ads in general tend to be more creative than those from OTL (recent commercials, such as the ones with the Polar Bears, are just about the same as OTL; this also goes for a majority of Super Bowl ads)
* Also, more commercials with the Polar Bears have been made for Coca-Cola (they still get ads to this day), along with more “Happiness Factory” commercials.
== Google ==
* iGoogle, Google Reader, and Google Groups still exist, and survive until today.
* Google+ still exists, but it wouldn't have data breaches and gains popularity as an alternative to Facebook, Myspace (which is still relevant ITTL), and Twitter. Gmail still exists, but with infinite storage. Chrome also still exists.
== Kraft Foods Group ==
=== Planters ===
* Robert Downey Jr. remains as Mr. Peanut's voice to this day rather than being replaced by Bill Hader in 2013 and Keith Ferguson in 2020.
* Mr. Peanut never died, meaning Baby Nut never came to be; this was rejected by Tim, who considered such a move "a blatant attempt at emulating Baby Yoda", referencing Grogu from The Mandalorian (popularly referred to as "Baby Yoda" by fans).
* The 2022 Super Bowl "Feed the Debate" ad still happened, except differently in that Mr. Peanut watches the news coverage of the debate on his TV.
=== Mars, Incorporated. ===
* Mars has worked harder than a lot of other notable companies to ensure that that their cacao did not come from child slavery/labor or any other form of slavery or forced labor for products such as Mars’ Chocolate portfolio; they’ve also made several successful efforts towards reducing the amount of various forms of slavery and child labor, with hopes to eventually completely abolish them both. (They don’t lie and say their chocolate is 100% slave/child labor-free when it isn’t, but Johnson is very much against any form of slavery or child labor if their efforts, alongside the fact that various notable people working for the company spoke out against them, are to prove)
* The company has remained with NASCAR after 2022, continuing to sponsor Kyle Busch (despite Tim's personal hatred of him) at Earnhardt-Childress Racing since 2023.
* Dove Chocolate is sold as Galaxy internationally, including in the US (this is mostly to avoid confusion with Unilever’s personal care brand)
===== M&M's =====
* The tan M&M is still present alongside the blue M&M, and the purple one was made permanent in 2002 after winning the Global Color Vote.
* In the commercials, Tan (who debuted in 2010, and is voiced by Tom Kenny) is a pretzel M&M who is portrayed as boorish and lazy, while Purple (who debuted in 2011, and is voiced by Alanna Ubach) is a dark chocolate M&M and a multi-genre singer who likes lifting spirits and supporting others, particularly other women (somewhat reminiscent of Green’s post-redesign personality IOTL).
* Since 2011 (instead of 2022), "Ms." no longer comes before female spokescandies' names.
* Due to Phil Hartman still being alive, Chocolate Bar appears in more commercials as a recurring antagonist for Red and Yellow.
** Also, peanut (an Evel Knievel-esque stuntpeanut, voiced by Dana Snyder), hazelnut (a Daria Morgendorffer expy, voiced by Seth MacFarlane), fudge brownie (a bubbly comedian, voiced by Kristen Wiig), and cookie (a tough athlete, voiced by Kate McKinnon) varieties get their own spokescandies, and Pretzel Guy, Popcorn Guy, and Caramel Piece Guy appear in more commercials.
* Crispy M&M’s never stopped being made in the US (or any other place where they were discontinued).
* Pretzel is represented with the color light brown instead of blue (due to it remaining Crispy’s color).
* The US had hazelnut M&M’s released in 2016 (not to be confused with the 2019 hazelnut spread variety).
* The 2021 logo removes the white outline; milk chocolate bags use a white version of the logo.
* The only notable change to the early 2020’s redesign for the spokescandies (aside from being introduced in January 2021 instead of January 2022) was the flesh changing to a lighter version of the shell color. Also, Green still acts less flirtatious after being redesigned, though it’s still somewhat a part of her personality ITTL, and she still wears go-go boots.
* Also in 2021, pink and aqua (the two other choices from the 2002 Global Color Vote) were added to the color lineup, complete with representative spokescandies; Pink (voiced by Thomas F. Wilson) is a tough, stoic, and manly hazelnut M&M, and Aqua (voiced by Amber Ruffin, who voices OTL's Purple) is a young, eccentric, ditzy, and somewhat clumsy female dark chocolate peanut M&M who is a close friend of Yellow’s; her design is the same one from OTL's Purple, albeit recolored.
* In 2022, a gray flavor was added in a "colorless" bag, with its spokescandy voiced by Kelly Marie Tran; she can be described as a brooding, tomboyish goth.
* At least one of the Luckyverse-exclusive spokescandies might make appearances in OTL commercials, sometimes taking the place of another if it suits their character better (in commercials where Tan is in the place of Orange, he’s noticeably ruder and grumpier than Orange was IOTL).
* M&M’s introduced a larger, soft-shelled line called Soft M&M’s in 2015.
* With a Purple M&M's spokescandy being introduced in 2011 ITTL, the one introduced in 2022 IOTL doesn’t exist.
* The "M&M's Celebrating Women Flipping the Status Quo" bags still exist, but with aqua added.
* The publicity stunt involving Maya Rudolph for Super Bowl LVII doesn't happen; instead, she is used in the Super Bowl advertising alongside the spokescandies.
== McDonald’s ==
* The first location (in San Bernardino, California) still stands to this day, and the McDonald brothers, Richard and Maurice, gave it to their founding employees as planned; the building and sign were restored in 1983 and 2008.
* The brothers themselves were also granted a 1% share in the annual profits, as were their descendants. They're also fully acknowledged as the founders of the McDonald's chain with Ray Kroc listed as the founder of the McDonald's Corporation.
* The 1969-2006 mansard roof architecture is still used (albeit with earth tones and updated interiors) instead of a brown/dark gray box, and many Golden Arches-era buildings were preserved starting in 1975; some (including the original San Bernardino location and the ninth location in Des Plaines) were used for production on The Founder, along with a replica of the McDonalds' hexagonal structure that opened across the street on December 12, 1983, exactly 35 years to the day when the original barbecue stand was transformed into a fast-food restaurant; it's situated at the lot where Ray Kroc's McDonald's restaurant opened IOTL. In addition, the ninth McDonald's, the first location opened by Kroc, was restored (rather than being demolished and replaced with a replica) to its 1955 state in 1984 and 1985 due to its historical significance (namely, it was noted by the company as "the beginning of (the chain's) expansion outside of the West Coast", since this was the second location opened outside of California). There are currently around 68 classic Golden Arches buildings in existence. Here's also a list of surviving 1953-63 Speedee signs and 1961-63 crest signs on public display (not counting modern reproductions):
** Phoenix, Arizona (built 1953)
** San Bernardino, California (built 1953; replaced earlier Speedee sign)
** Pomona, California (built 1954)
** Azusa, California (built 1954)
** Des Plaines, Illinois (built 1955)
** Fresno, California (built 1955)
** Los Angeles, California (built 1956)

** Holts Summit, Missouri (built 1959; originally at Jefferson City, Missouri)
** Jackson, Mississippi (built 1959)
** Downey, California (built 1959; unique sign, replaced earlier Speedee sign)
** Topeka, Kansas (built 1961)
** Magnolia, Virginia (built 1961; moved to current location in 1996)
** Sioux Falls, South Dakota (built 1961; now situated on a pole)
** Independence, Missouri (built 1961-63)
** Warren, Michigan (built 1961-63)
** Springfield, Illinois (built 1961-63)
** Akron, Ohio (built 1961-63; crests replaced with modern McDonald's logos)
** Hazelwood, Missouri (built 1961-62)
** St. Clare Shores, Michigan (built 1961-62)
** McLean, Virginia (built 1961-63; crests replaced with modern McDonald's logos, top panel now blank, and middle panel now says "McDonald's")
** Lancaster, Pennsylvania (built 1962)
** Pine Bluff, Arkansas (built 1962; moved to current location in 2007)
** Biloxi, Mississippi (built 1962)
** Belleville, Illinois (built 1962-63; lower panel changed to "We Value Belleville" in 1970s or 1980s)
** Winter Haven, Florida (built 1963)
** Lakeland, Florida (built 1963)
* Since 1993, McDonald's has brought back the old walk-up stand design in a concept called "McClassic" (not to be confused with McDonald's Classic, a short-lived double drive-thru concept with a 1950s-inspired appearance), using original blueprints to recreate the "Golden Arches" architecture, resembling what the Des Plaines, Illinois replica did IOTL (though with four windows as in the earliest locations instead of two, as well as having a drive-thru window). The sign (inspired by the old Speedee signs) looks like the ones in Lapier and Dearborn Heights, Michigan, with a McDonald's logo on the sign Speedee carries (speaking of the latter, the 1950s-inspired building was not remodeled ITTL, nor was the neon sign replaced with a plastic version).
* Fresh ingredients are still used for many products such as burgers and French fries rather than frozen ones.
* All locations still serve fried apple pies, with baked ones as an option.
* Ice cream machines are maintained regularly.
* The McDonaldland ad campaign still runs to this day, though in 2001, it switched to traditional animation from Rough Draft Studios. Here are the voice actors.
** David Hussey still portrays Ronald McDonald.
** Russi Taylor continued voicing Birdie; Kari Wahlgren took over the role after Taylor's 2019 death.
** Frank Welker stays on as Grimace.
** Howard Morris stayed as the Hamburglar until his 2005 death; Charlie Adler (his voice actor in The Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald and a 1984 commercial) returned to the role.
** The McNugget Buddies are voiced by Pamela Adlon, Charlie Adler and Lisa Raggio.
** Kath Soucie, Paul Greenberg, and Nika Futterman continued their roles as the Fry Kids.
** Ronald's dog, Sundae, was also introduced to the commercials, with Dee Bradley Baker reprising his role.
** Recurring characters include Mayor McCheese (voiced by Bob Joles, impersonating Ed Wynn), Captain Crook (voiced by Tom Kenny, using his Patchy the Pirate voice), Officer Big Mac (voiced by Clancy Brown, impersonating Ted Cassidy), the Professor (voiced by Maurice LaMarche), CosMc (voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson), the Happy Meal Gang (with Hamburger voiced by Jim Cummings, French Fries voiced by Bob Bergen, Soft Drink voiced by Cree Summer, Cookies voiced by Rob Paulsen, Toy voiced by Billy West, and Happy Meal Box voiced by Eric Bauza), Uncle O'Grimacey (also voiced by Fagerbakke), the Wastebaskets (also voiced by LaMarche), Iam Hungry (voiced by Jeff Lupetin), Mac Tonight (voiced by Roger Behr until his 2018 death, his voice thereafter being recreated using VoxMutatio with LaMarche doing his raw performance), the Griddler (voiced by Tom Wilson), and Speedee (voiced by Seth MacFarlane).
* In 2011, to commemorate the 40th anniversary of McDonaldland, there was a television special in which the McDonaldland gang meets their older counterparts. Hussey, Taylor, and Adler voiced Ronald, Birdie, and Hamburglar's old counterparts (as Hamburglar's former voice actor, Howard Morris, died in 2005), while Frank Welker returned to voice Grimace's counterpart.
* From 2015 to 2020, a television series called Ronald McDonald & Friends aired on Netflix, using the artstyle from the animated commercials. It uses live-action segments to bookend the episodes.
* The last live-action McDonaldland commercial aired in 2003, after which the live-action commercials and designs were phased out completely, though the old designs are still seen in some locations, and new live-action Ronald McDonald commercials air to this day; Tim Johnson stated in 2015 that "there has to be at least one non-ironic clown out there".
* Almost all branding is the same as OTL.
* The Cactus Planet promotion still exists.
* The claymation Willy Munchwright commercials are also still being made, and there are also more Funky Farm ads.
* The 1962 neon sign in Biloxi, Mississippi survived Hurricane Katrina and still stands today; it was restored in 2009 with an LED message board.
* The sign in Holts Summit, Missouri is still there; it was completely restored in 2013 with Speedee himself being restored to how he originally appeared when the sign was erected in 1959, while the vertical tubes behind him were restored as well. The sign in Lebanon, Indiana was moved with the location prior to 2000 as well. Ditto for the crest signs in Springfield, Illinois, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and Akron, Ohio.
== Motorola ==
* Motorola never split into two divisions.
* The 1967 wordmark was retained until 2016, when OTL's wordmark was introduced.
* The five different siren tones of the now-discontinued Spectra Series (Wail, Yelp, Hi-Lo, Manual, and Air Horn) were preserved.
== Subway ==
* Jared Fogle's reign as Subway spokesman ended in 2003, when he was replaced by fireman Clay Henry; the reason behind Fogle's firing was later explained in a 2005 interview, in which Fogle's history of pedophilia was revealed.
* Its 2015 logo colors the "SUB" portion yellow instead of green, and is still used instead of the 2016 logo; its "Choice Mark" symbol is the same, albeit slanted.
== Yahoo! ==
* The site never went through its decline.
* Its logo still became purple in 2009, and the site's overall layout is still based on the 2009 layout. It still rebranded in 2013, except the 30-day logo cycle didn't happen, and the August 16 logo was chosen.
== YouTube ==
* Susan Wojcicki was never made CEO. Jawed Karim is still in charge.
* YouTube's copyright system is much better.
* The Happy Tree Friends short "YouTube Copyright School" does not exist.
* Users do not need Google accounts for YouTube.
* Instead of a "for kids/not for kids" system, a rating system similar to the ESRB was created exclusively for YouTube and: 0-3, all ages, for 7+ and up, for 10+ and up, 13+, and 16+. An 18+ rating was not made due to concerns that it would be used to upload pornographic content onto YouTube.
* Ratings are not assigned to videos by bots; the uploader has to set the rating themselves.
* The ratings also do not determine whether the comments can be disabled or not, as the comments can only be disabled if the uploader wants to disable them.
* Any video can be saved to a playlist, played on the miniplayer, and commented on (unless the uploader has manually disabled comments) regardless of their age rating.
* Annotations are still present, as are collaborative annotations.
* Titles are still above the video rather than below.
* Friend lists and video responses weren't retired.
* Each channel still has custom backgrounds.
* Dislikes continue to remain visible, as do comment dislikes.
* The crackdown on Elsagate videos has been much more successful.
* YouTube Rewinds have been made since 2007 ITTL (not having been cancelled in 2020 like in OTL), and have several differences: not overemphasizing on popular music or fads, are only aimed towards YouTube audiences instead of mainstream audiences, and only YouTubers are featured.
* All logos remain the same from OTL.
