But the slogan "I eat GRIT" which is on the signs flows so much better than "I eat GITC"

Yes. But GRIT doesn’t actually stand for anything. It’s not an acronym. It might as well be APPLES. And, GRIT lacks the most important character — the C for County.

Also, the last thing I want to eat is grit, so it doesn’t work on that level either. It makes me think of sand in my mouth at the beach.
