 Sales of ReaLemon realized successful profits in Europe in 1975 , at which time Borden expanded into the United Kingdom market , purveying a 250 ml bottle of lemon juice . By 1980 , ReaLemon comprised around 25 % of the U.K. lemon juice market . In response to this competition , Reckitt & Coleman began producing Jif in 150 <unk> and 250 ml @-@ sized bottles . Borden then began making plans to market ReaLemon in a lemon @-@ shaped package that was similar to Jif 's packaging . This resulted in a lawsuit initiated by Reckitt & Coleman against Borden , based upon the notion that ReaLemon was attempting to copy Jif 's packaging in attempts to mislead consumers , by passing off their product as Jif .
