BP (British Petroleum) bought Amoco, which stood for American Oil Company, and didn’t change its name for a long time. Then, for a while, it was “BP Amoco,” which, when spelled out, would be, “British Petroleum American Oil Comapny.” Good job guys.

And then there is the German-owned BMW, which makes and sells the (formerly British) Mini Cooper, and still has the rear break lights look like the Union Jack.
