Know What They Almost Called It?

Original names and working titles of movies, TV shows, companies, sports teams, and even people are often very different from what we know them as. If you read posts at mental_floss on a regular basis, you’ll know the answers to today’s Lunchtime Quiz, which asks you what earlier names these things had for a time. I scored 50%, which means I haven’t been reading as closely as I should. Or else my memory is going. Link

    Haha. I'm not sure if this is listed on there, but I know that the "Power puff girls" were originally called the "kick ass girls"

    Love it...Brad's Drink (Pepsi)? Or the Yahoo! name...even better. Hey, these were smart people, but marketer's they were not early on.

    2 out of 12. I should have tried harder. Although it was all pretty much guesswork.
