When AIDS was first being discovered, there were slimming biscuits also called Aids. For a while, i believed that it had been discovered that these biscuits had turned out to cause fatal health problems and i was completely appalled at what i´d heard.
Interestingly, the name of these biscuits was changed soon afterwards.
