If you read it all the way through you'll see that the truncated "LG" name did indeed come about in 1995.
On January 1, 1995, the morning newspapers unveiled LG's new CI to citizens nationwide. The winking red smiley face had a simple message printed below, "Happy New Year." The ad sparked widespread curiosity. Then, on January 4, after the New Year holidays, LG satisfied public curiosity with a full-page newspaper article titled, "Lucky Goldstar turns into LG." This was LG's first official greeting to the public.

In UK to wish actors good luck you say 'Break a leg'-
Many thoughts behind the origin, but generally after a good performance the audience would throw money on the stage if it was a good show, and the actors had to kneel down - or break their leg - to pick it up.
In Spain you wish them 'Mucho mierda' - or a lot of s**t!
Because the audience would walk out when they'd had enough, but if they stayed a long while their horses that waiting outside would create more mierda!

Exactly! LG being the truncated "Lucky Goldstar"...and as mentioned even further down, "Life's Good" being their new slogan.

MIWADI
If you lived in Ireland, you would know this brand of lovely orange squash.( and other flavours too) The original name of the company who manufactured it was MINERAL WATER DISTRIBUTERS INCORPORATED A huge mouthful you might say! But a yummy mouthful to us when we were kids!! Wisely cut down to MIWADI. Still a great product.
