Microsoft, Office Max and Bass Pro Shop sure have odd names huh.
For those not familiar with US retailers, the punchline is:
Lol i thought that was Steam until i reread his bubble and was like “Uhmm?”
That makes more sense than Big 5
I feel like US has a store chain with every conceivable name at this point.
And hearing about chains called like Five Guys just sounds weird to be honest.
every conceivable name
Yeah, there used to be a Gaylords department store.
At least that one makes sense for a store, they probably got a lot of their stock in gaylords.
Wait till you find out about Two Men and a Truck!
Two guys, one truck!
The best is the website is twomen.com
Risky click of the day in this context
I dread to think what comes up if you search for those restaurants near you…
Put Five Guys inside you!
No thanks!
I feel like you could craft us chain store names into some innuendo sentence or even paragraph
There’s also a restaurant chain which is also named Dick’s
The “Eat some Dick’s” jokes write themselves.
What the fuck Richard
Thanks from the UK
Thank you.
Thanks.

Oh look at Mr. Big shot over here. It’s not polite to brag ya know!
Wasted opportunity to make the last one Microsoft
I was certain it was going to be Microsoft and was very disappointed when I learned about Dick’s.
The story about how Apple got its name is basically that.
The original employees were brainstorming what to call the company. Steve said just call it Apple. Everyone hated that idea. Steve barked back and said if none of you can come up with a better name than that, we’re calling it Apple. And the rest is history.
From Steve Jobs’s biography, it’s also because he loved apples so much that he once got hospitalized for eating nothing but apples.
I don’t think that’s how it happened. Their logo is an apple with a bite out of it because it represents knowledge, you know, like Adam and Eve taking a bite out of the tree of Knowledge of good and evil.
They might’ve come up with that later, though.
That logo came later. This was the original logo:

I was trying to figure out for way too long how he came to sportsexperts.
“Windows”
I thought this was about this store:
