      Why did 2 companies decide to name themselves after a sexual act when neither has any connection to sex?? I could see if it was a sex shop like “condom sense” but a restaurant and a bulk buy store?

        It’s one of a few acronym based nicknames that are in common use. TJ is another. I’m not sure why that’s the case, maybe it was common to give kids a B/T based first name and a J based last name? The acronym is fun to say, unlike other acronyms for names. Acronyms are also easy to build branding around

        Technically even Ben & Jerry’s ice cream can be shortened to BJ’s (or B&J’s)

        BJ is a common name shortcut like PJ. For some reason these nickname type things went out of fashion but if you watch mash later seasons the character BJ honeycut replaces trapper john as howkeyes friend.
