Like. CHEESE, for example
what Americans call 'Swiss Cheese' is actually called EMMENTAL cheese...
unless it's actually made in Switzerland proper, in which case it's called EMMENTHALER cheese...
or perhaps they'd be happier if I discussed PYROPHOSPHATE, and the role it plays in manipulating cats into eating cat food, which is so disgusting that most cats would never eat it without the secret addicting additive being included.
or maybe they're prefer that I discuss cerumen cleaning, and the dangers of creating a secondary bacterial infection
