Costco article has nothing to do with PB but I’m betting the AI is showing me a picture of allergic butter. Frankly dangerous.

Also unhelpful, since, if you look at my comment history, I was already aware of the Costco butter fiasco and had made a snarky comment about it.

The cleaner used to be called Jif, it’s been called Cif since they started selling it in France, where “Jif” is slang for a condom lol

And my grandma still has a bottle dating back from when it wasn’t called Cif yet. It’s “Vim”. Guess she still has it because she didn’t figure out how to quit it.

But also in Asian markets the J part was not easy, so needed to rebranded.

Of course what they renamed it to was the short way of saying Syphillis in the UK. It definitely wasn’t a win win.
