To paraphrase a jelly ad, with a name like Matsushita, it's got to be good. You probably don't know what Matshushita is -- it's the Japanese company that created the VHS video format and makes Panasonic products. Ah! You know Panasonic!
In a move that is probably at least 40 years too late, Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd., is changing its name -- to Panasonic Corporation. Duh.
It's not bad enough that the company name has always had the word "shit" in the big middle of it, but the abbreviation the company used was "Matshit." Yummy.
Originally, I thought the company name was pronounced "Mat-sue-she-tah," but I was wrong. The actual pronunciation is "Mot-shoosh-tuh."
It's funny that Panasonic's slogan in the 1970s was "Panasonic: Slightly ahead of their time" -- except when giving their company a better name, of course.
