And don't forget "Sugar Frosted Flakes"....now known as "Frosted Flakes". Didn't Kentucky Fried Chicken go all health craze by changing the name to an acronym "KFC" ? Fried was bad and clogged the arteries so they wanted to appear hip and healthy.
It never bothered me. While a student at the University of Arizona, there used to be joint on Speedway Blvd. in Tucson near the northwest side of campus. It's was called "Greasy Tony's". They had sweatshirts which had their logo and the wording: "No charge for extra grease". A year after I graduated, a film titled "Revenge of the Nerds" was filmed there and the character "Booger Dawson" had a Greasy Tony's shirt. Now the world is too uptight about everything.
