Curse English idioms, I literally thought they were rebranding to Mud.
I mean, after X it looks downright sensible.
It’s a more down to earth name at least.
sigh
It's because of the capitalization. If the title was "SanDisk's name is now mud" this wouldn't happen.
I was also very, very confused at first.
I guess I was thinking that if Gwyneth Paltrow could found a company called Goop that anything goes these days.
I'm pretty sure that was the author's intention.
Probably very deliberate, in the wake of Twitter's disastrous rebranding.
There. Easy clickbait.
Wouldn't be the weirdest rebrand recently, honestly
Me too
Good thing it explains it in the second line of the article.
Wait…. They’re not doing that? What?
