They also top the list of all time worst names for any company or product.

LG is supposed to be Life's Good. No one calls it that either.

And then there's FIAT...

LG was originally lucky goldstar, a combination of two companies that merged. They rebranded as LG and "Life's Good" was just a slogan they tacked on, it was never the company name.

They used to, the point is that "life's good" was never the name of the company, it was a slogan.

I hope you're sitting down, because LG stands for Lucky Goldstar

That's actually not what BYD stood for originally, it was a reference to a city I think
