In our times, almost the same as yours these two brands had a close competition with the ruling ones – Dalda vs Rath & Colgate vs my nanihaal’s chosen favourite during early 80s. Folks from Karnataka may figure out! pic.twitter.com/hQpnDnf4nm

A user also mentioned how the empty Dalda bottles were used to store kitchen items.
The empty Dalda container (plastic one) was later used by mom to keep ‘Haldhi’ or ‘Tea leaves’🙂🙂

Dalda almost replaced Desi Ghee in late 1900s.
If I remember correctly 1980s there was a furor about animal fat being used in manufacturing of Dalda or Vanaspathi as it was popularly known , and list its place in indian kitchens!
Colgate tooth powder was poor man’s toothpaste!

I have used both.
I vividly remember, Dalda was known as Vegetable ghee and used to be sold for around Rs. 4.00-4.50 a kg and desi ghee used to be priced at Rs. 9.50 a kg.— Rajendra Kumbhat (@Enraged_Indian) July 9, 2020
