Reminds me of how the Danish (?) organic snacks company now known as Easis was still called Isis long after those letters became toxic.
Personally I found the prospect of terrorists making and selling organic muesli bars pretending to be healthy absolutely hilarious 😂
They pretended to be healthy? Wanna bet they’re awful?
Maybe they should mail them to terrorists. You know. As a weapon against morale
They’re actually very tasty. Tons of sugar in them to achieve that, though.
What’s toxic about an egyptian goddess? 😜 (to be fair, the terrorist group is called IS, and calling it ISIS was always a bit weird)
Well Danish news first called it ISIS, then ISIL and then IS. Now they usually use the whole name Islamic State, but in Danish.
