25 Towns that Changed Names - Neatorama

Why would a town change its name? There are plenty of reasons, as you’ll find out in this week’s mental_floss List Show. Maybe the incentive was money or infrastructure. Maybe the old name was offensive, or confusing, or associated with something unpleasant. The change could be to honor someone or something the town is known for. Or maybe they just wanted something a little more prestigious. Some of these 25 towns all have their own reasons, some weirder than others.

I personally believe my design is better, since it's so inconspicuous. You'd open up a pre-sliced roll, and out of nowhere there he is. It could be one of those annoying gag gifts, lol. Why did he laser-etch it though? Kinda lame, haha. I'd just modify a toaster or make a metal stamp that could be heated and pressed on the roll do the same thing. I hate to get so into this, but I had this marketing scheme earlier today and decided to make a design, see if it would get any nostalgia hits. Gotta make money somehow, lol. Anywho, here's mine:
