>>2023063>Reminds me when in the early 90's a lot companies had an ex suffix to look "modern". X is not used in Polish language, so anything using it had a "modern" vibe. And then tons of companies started doing it creating such fun names like Butex (shoe-x), Drutex (rod-x), Dachex (roof-x) etc. and in the end ex suffixed names became sort of a joke on itself.Back in the commie days Pewex was the only chain where you could buy imported goods using foreign currency, so the name was attached to luxury in the mind of average Pole.
And my absolutely favorite was Rybex (fish-ex).
