Best Buy
Black Friday is a chaotic experience for any Best Buy experience, being a crazy stampede of crazed consumers every year. Just where Best Buy’s leadership got its name from is also an insane story. In 1996, Best Buy was formerly known as “Sound of Music,” whose primary sales were geared around stereos to mediocre success. Poor sales would be the least of the shop’s worries, however, as that year a terrible tornado swept through the area, destroying much of the building and wrecking much stock. Once the chaos had ended, they began selling their damaged goods as “best buys.”

Blackberry
BlackBerry was all the rage about a decade ago when it seemed like everyone had one of their phones. Everywhere you turned, people were glued to their BlackBerrys, addictively texting friends and business associates. One could also surf the web at an almost unlimited pace while still being active, which is why the original name BlackBerry went for was “Research in Motion.” This then led to the intelligent change of name to BlackBerry, as the tiny keys on the phone resembled the small nodes of a blackberry.
