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

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.

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.
