Hard news from America. Gas station chain Kum & Go is getting a different name.
Some people swear by the experience of an electric car. You know it. Carefully unroll the plug, use the correct attachments if necessary, find the connection to the power strip and then hope that the voltage continues to flow for half an hour, while in the meantime you eat a roast beef sandwich somewhere. However, most people prefer fast work. Hoppa, put the hose in, squeeze it a bit, fill the tank with bark and goooooorrr. So easy.
For gas station chain Kum & Go from Iowa, the latest formula has proven fruitful for decades. The company was founded in 1959 and has been bulging the pockets of its owners ever since. But since an acquisition by a Utah company last year, the proud brand name has been under enormous pressure. To such an extent that the matter now even seems to explode. Not least, in the face of the Maggelet family, the new owners of the chain.
Quality publication The Drive has delved deeply into the matter. And they have discovered that the reason for the desired name change is indeed obvious double entendre Re. A mysterious source with intimate knowledge of the case whispered SCP news in the ear:
I think there was some concern about the inadvertent double entendre of the Kum & Go name. If you're growing cross-regionally, which brand do you think will have more appeal to a new audience: Maverik or Kum & Go? No disrespect to Kum & Go, but the answer is pretty clear.

Whose deed. However, opponents find this reasoning far too political. Do you get it, or would you fill up the tank at the Kum & Go with a chuckle every time? Let us know in the Kum… comments!
