Radio Shack announced last week that it will now be known as The Shack. In June, Pizza Hut started rebranding some outlets as The Hut. Other famous rebrands include Kentucky Fried Chicken becoming KFC and Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. becoming (anyone? Bueller?) Panasonic. But why stop there? We asked RedEye’s Twitter followers to suggest some changes of their own. Here are a few. My name is @redeyechicago and I’m on Twitter attwitter.com/redeyechicago.

My teenage daughter said she hates how they all want to be “hip,” like Gatorade becoming the G.

@yourretrocareer Why does everything have to be shortened? Are we getting so lazy that we can’t even say 2 or 3 extra syllables?
