mobile homes and modular homes are both types of manufactured homes but only the former is a “trailer.” Manufactured homes have long been the dominant type of “regular” single family house in many areas. They are just built in pieces and then transported and put on the foundation (which trailers don’t have). I rarely if ever notice trailers being called manufactured homes (I think more of something like Nanticoke homes circa 1970-2000), usually mobile homes.
There are salt and pepper diamonds available, too, inclusions are included.
I’m an easy sell for something cute. Kiwi marketed as Mighties from the same company that brought us Cutie oranges just makes me smile. https://mightieskiwi.com/
Maybe it’s regional? When I was a kid, in the 60s, my mother often served London Broil, and it was never flank, it was top round. I didn’t have flank steak until I was an adult, and it was called “flank steak”. I loved London broil, I should try making it one of these days.
(Flank would probably work well with the same preparation, now that you point it out.)
I’ve fallen for “no added sugar” a few times. I bought sweet relish labeled no sugar and was surprised to find it had artificial sweeteners. Tasted awful. I actually thought it was naturally sweet somehow.
I only remember them being called “Buffalo Wings” a decade or so after they had spread quite widely. My understanding of the term is that it is shorthand for “Chicken wings with hot sauce on them”, because chicken wings without sauce on them aren’t Buffalo wings. In fact, from there the sauce itself became known as “Buffalo sauce”, so you can have a “Buffalo chicken sandwich” which implies “chicken sandwich with Buffalo sauce on it”.
So while it is true that chicken wings used to be scrap meat, and chicken wings with sauce on them are called Buffalo wings, I don’t think they are called Buffalo wings because chicken wings were scrap meat. It’s my vague recollection that they became widely known as Buffalo wings after chicken wings started becoming popular.
how about chitlins, hog mawls, now “sweetmeats”
I think it was after adding hot sauce to chicken wings became popular in Buffalo, NY, too.
My favorite is “Canola oil”, for a nasty substance that used to have an even nastier name.
(although the plant is still called rape.)
Mentioned in the third post.
“Buffalo wings” refer to a specific preparation of chicken wings: deep fried and served with a cayenne-pepper based hot sauce and butter or margarine. The term has maybe expanded to include grilled wings and battered or breaded wings, but calling them “Buffalo wings”, to me at least, requires the buttery hot sauce. A wing served with barbecue sauce is absolutely not a “Buffalo wing.” It’s a “barbecue wing.” I have never heard chicken wings generically referred to as “Buffalo wings.” In the other direction, simply calling “Buffalo wings” “chicken wings” is not descriptive enough. There are all manners of preparation of chicken wings. Here in Chicago, I remember spicy wings simply called “hot wings.”
I know. I wasn’t trying to be original.
Most of the examples that i thought of have already been mentioned, or are too niche to interest anyone else.
That’s still my favorite example. It’s such a striking example of the trend.
A Belgian supermarket “rebranded” vegetables to make them more appealing to children.
Thus, carrots became “orange rockets”, oyster mushrooms “gnome trumpets” and courgettes (zucchini) transformed into “troll bats”.*
*a term that could be more appropriately applied to Japanese-style long eggplants.
**zucchini is zucchini, dammit. We don’t need no steenkin’ courgettes or “vegetable marrows”.
That’s true of the colas since their diet version has cachet. But they definitely started rebranding other diet sodas as Zero Sugar as well. For example, Sprite Zero Sugar has completely replaced Diet Sprite.
Here’s a CNN article on the phonomenon:

There’s some pretty high quality prefabricated/modular homes and some pretty shoddy stick-built homes. Are cars built in a factory rather than custom as they were around 1900, or computers built in a factory rather than custom as they were in the 1940s and '50s, shoddy too?
I can’t remember the last time I had Buffalo wings. When I go out, or make them at home, they’re ‘hot wings’. I guess the restaurants fry them, but at home I just bake them with some salt, and finish by dousing them with Frank’s.
I’m wondering if wienies or wieners was changed to frankfurters somewhere along the way, although a Frankfurter is a sausage (or person) from Frankfurt.
A friend with a brewery offers wings every Friday night. They are different. He has a big smoker, and he smokes the wings, then refrigerates them. When you order wings they are reheated then tossed with whatever sauce you specify (none, barbecue, hot, sweet and spicy, etc). The big problem since corona is cost. The menu has “market price” which goes up and down each week.
Wieners are sausages from Wien (Vienna). Per Daily Meal:
Head to an authentic German sausage shop and you’ll see two different sausages: wieners and frankfurters. Frankfurters are made entirely with pork, and wieners are a mixture of pork and beef. And as the names might imply, frankfurters originated in Frankfurt and wieners from Vienna. To make things even more confusing: in the U.S., “franks” tend to be all beef.
To make things more confusing, In the U.S. 'Vienna sausage" are those little 2-inch mushy things that come out of a can. 
yes.
You buy “factory” computers, and they come with a whole bunch of bloatware already installed. You have someone custom build a computer for you, you have a much better selection of memory, accessories, and better interaction between drivers.
