Daniel Gross is back with more zombie brands. Among them:
• The Commodore 64, resurrected as a high-end gaming computer
• Indian motorcycles
• Triumph motorcycles (who were not only resurrected, but made a very strong comeback)
• Lots of cars, including the Camaro, GTO, Montego, and MG
• White Cloud paper products, now a Wal-Mart house brand
• The McRib, which makes periodic resurgences for no good reason that anyone can figure out
