15 FAMOUS BRAND NAME ACRONYMS YOU DON’T KNOW THE FULL FORM OF ( PROBABLY! )

Acronyms are a major part of our lives and being our ignorant selves we don’t know the full form of a big percentage of them.

We are aware of the Internet slangs which rise to popularity from time to time but mostly ignore the acronyms which surround us permanently and are useful in day to day life. No points for guessing, it is the brands and logos which cover our 360 degree vision these days, no matter where you step.

And we promise that some of these brand names’ full forms are too cool to ignore (Hint: Might have a hidden Indian name in a SHOCKING brand’s name) so let us jump right into the article.

1.H&M: A brand that needs no introduction but maybe needs us to tell you it’s full form because not many knows it and also a paper so that you can write it down to remember.
