    This name change is like in recent years when 'Dunkin' Donuts'
    dropped the 'Donuts'. Nobody really notices.

    Really?

    Really.

    https://www.dunkindonuts.com/en/terms-of-use

    These Terms constitute an agreement between Dunkin' Brands, Inc. and
    its affiliates (collectively, "Dunkin' Brands" or "we" or "us") and
    you. We recommend that you print out a copy of these Terms for your
    records.

    They still have Dunkin Donuts as a trademark, but it is not the company
    name.

    Separately: they have javascript in the page so that you can't read all
    of the terms at once, and certainly can't print all of them at once, so
    that recommendation is super odd.

    Soup lovers, brace yourselves for a significant change in the culinary
    world. The Campbell Soup Company, with 155 years of history, has decided
    to drop the word 'soup' from its name. From now on, the company will be
    known as The Campbell's Company. This announcement was made by CEO Mark Clouse, who explained that this decision is part of a broader effort to expand the company's focus towards snacks and jarred sauces, beyond soups.

    I look forward to Campbells soap, Campbells crisps, and Campbells
    stuffed crust spicy margherita taco-pizza balls.

    Actually, that last one sounds pretty darned good.
