Wal–Mart?

BTW in their company chat they call it a squiggly even though it's flat. That always bugged me.

Edit: I stand corrected. It wasn't flat from 1966 to 1981 and the cheer started in 1975, and included "squiggly" back then - Sam Walton himself said it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walmart#1990%E2%80%932005:_Ret...

Edit 2: Both squiggly and the introduction of the cheer appear in the Walmart timeline: https://corporate.walmart.com/about/history
