I always assumed the Tandy company that sold leather and the Tandy company that sold computers were different companies.
Turns out nope, they were the same. Tandy Leather bought Radio Shack in the 1960s.

This is especially weird to find out today, because today I also found out (through randomly seeing a mention on Twitter) that the Michelin Guide to restaurants and Michelin tire company are the same Michelin, not two different Michelins as I’d always assumed
https://guide.michelin.com/en/restaurants
it fucks me up that when i first heard of michelin star restaurants i was like “the tire company??” and then i was like no that’s dumb it has to be a different michelin and then it’s just the fucking tire company recommending places to eat
