Reminds me of another incident:
Around 16 or so years ago in New York City, there was a rumor that an inexpensive soft drink under the brand name "Tropical Fantasy" made "black men sterile". Due to this rumor, the sales of "Tropical Fantasy" soda fell something like 50% in neighborhoods in Harlem and Brooklyn.
There was even a press conference where Dinkins, who was mayor at the time, had to take a swig of Tropical Fantasy to show everyone that it was safe to drink.
Hillarious, if not saddening.
There's been talk of a chemical in Churches Chicken to make Blacks sterile... Personally, I LOVE Churches Chicken, and I'd eat there more often if it was closer to my house! And then there was the infamous Snapple rumor... Depending on the rumor, the word was that the KKK actually owned, or received contributions from the owners. As proof, there was that "K" on the label. Plus there was a picture of the slave ship unloading its cargo on the bottles of iced tea. Of course, we all know that the "K" means that the owners of Snapple are forcing the American public to pay the Zionist "Kosher Tax," (/sarc), i.e. it's Kosher. And the "slave ship?" Well, not exactly. If you actually look at the label, you will see that it's a very famous engraving of the Boston Tea Party... Imagine that... The Boston Tea Party on a bottle of iced tea... I never would have thought of that!
