Here’s the difference for anyone interested:
That said, I have seen what is obviously pork butt sold as pork shoulder as well. I’ve also seen “shoulder butt.”
The Hormel cryovacced stuff I see still as “pork butt,” though:

Which was exactly the point of my post.
I know?
Obligatory Simpsons clip summarising the key elements of the previous two dozen posts:
Surprised they didn’t change it earlier, as Gold Star, like a lot of early Korean imports, had a terrible reputation.
I have a 25 year-old GoldStar microwave, and it still works perfectly. I guess that’s only one data point, however.
When they first marketed the Chinese gooseberry in the US, they renamed it the kiwi.
Ref post #8. 
Thistle seed used to be called niger, but that didn’t work for reasons you might be able to figure out. Some companies market it as nyjer, some as thistle, but it is all niger.
Nobody in their right mind would pay good money for jewelry made out of ugly brown industrial diamonds. Rebrand them as “chocolate diamonds” and the suckers bite.
Remember ValuJet? That airline’s reputation was so tarnished after the infamous 1996 crash in the Everglades they bought a much smaller airline called AirTran and took their name. I’d guess 99% of AirTran’s customers had no idea they were flying on the airline formerly known as ValuJet.
And then Southwest Airlines bought AirTran in the early 2010s, so in a sense ValuJet still exists.
Prunes seem to have become mostly “dried plums” over the last decade or two.
It seems to me there has been a half-hearted effort to rebrand Jerusalem artichokes as “sunchokes.”
And haven’t coypu been renamed “nutria” in hopes of creating a market for their meat? Not that it’s been a successful strategy. I must say, my appetite is not whetted when I read this:
Nutria are not RATS. They do share the same taxonomic order, as do about 40% of all mammals, including squirrels, beaver, and guinea pigs. Nutria are most closely related to porcupines or South American capybaras (but taste much better!).
An entire top round will break down into London broils with the exception of one chunk (pot roast). It makes for a quick and economic way to fill a freezer just before grilling season.
This thread reminds me of the farmer who realized the ugly and misshaped carrots that weren’t acceptable for grocery store customers could be whittled down into uniform “baby carrots”, which would have no problem selling.
As I said to myself when I first heard the word nutria: “That should not be the name of an animal. It should be the name of an artificial sweetener.”

Top round is not flank steak - different parts of the cow. You make London broil from flank steak; the cooking method is essential to keeping it tender.
With top round, you get marinated top round, not London broil.
Or a diet system.
Now they’re just called “organic”, which is apparently Latin for “comes with dirt”.
