For global companies, it’s important to plan product names well enough so embarrassing typos can be avoided. Unfortunately, these companies didn’t think their foodstuff names all the way through, so some vital pieces got lost in translation.

Who know that so many languages could get food names confused with the word “rape?”

It isn’t mustard, it’s an oil seed. Most vegetable oil is made from it.

They might even take it out of the goat.

Ayds dieting candy was made with benzocaine. You were supposed to eat it with a hot drink, presumably to melt it in your tummy where the benzocaine would then numb your hunger pangs. It really fell out of favor when the "gay cancer" that caused wasting was renamed "AIDS."

"Rape" is another spelling of broccoli "rabe." Sure looks like broccoli rabe in the picture.

None. Göteborgs Rapé is a tobacco product. Now with lingoberry flavor.

Rapeseed (Brassica napus)has edible leaves, similar to Bok Choy. (I've never tried them as Bok Choy upsets my stomach).
Every time you use Canola Oil, you are using a low glucosinolates and low erucic acid rapeseed oil.

In all fairness, Ayds (the product), was forced to change its name after the AIDS epidemic began. It was a victim of circumstance.

We saw these ice cream bars for sale in Fiji (which is officially an English speaking country). We have joked many times that these would only have a very niche market in the US.
