Blackjack, with that money he saved his company, Lucky Weekend Fred!
2. Lamborghini exists because of Enzo Ferrari’s pride
Lamborghini
was actually a tractor manufacturer and Ferruccio Lamborghini was very
fond of luxurious cars and especially Ferrari. Once when his Ferrari’s
clutch broke down, he noticed that the clutch was same as his tractor’s,
then he confronted Enzo about it. After this Enzo dismissed him and
insulted him by saying that he has no knowledge about luxury or race
cars and the rest you know.
3. BMW became Car manufacturer as Germany lost WW-I

the production of aircraft was ceased. Then eventually BMW had to start
manufacturing motorcycle and then cars because they faced financial
problems.
4. No Coca-Cola without American prohibition
Coca-Cola
was created by John Pemberton and he just wanted a substitute for his
addiction to morphine, so he started this drink and named it French Wine
Coca. But when a prohibition was passed by Atlanta in 1886, then he had
to make it a non-alcoholic drink and named it Coca-Cola.
5. The logo of McDonald’s is based on the shape of stores
The
“M” in McDonald’s logo can be recognized by everyone in this world from
a distance too, but this logo wasn’t inspired by the company’s name.

and so from where they got their inspiration.
