I wouldn't expect so.
A couple of years ago, when the whole craze of foods being sold as "gluten-free"
and "lactose-free" and whatnot was in full swing, I thought to myself that it would be funny to take cheap beer and re-package it in fancy bottles, then advertise it as being "chromium-free" or something equally absurd.
Anheuser-Busch beat me to it.
On an unrelated note, I happened to pull my ticket from W00tstock out of my wallet today while fishing for some receipts, and I noticed something that had eluded me previously:
I chuckled.

Oh mother ******. This is awesome. this happens to me all the time. Most recent and embarrassing, my grandfather was over at my dads house, and my dad was trying to show my grandfather, who knows zero about modern technology later than the 70's, how to use the internet and wikipedia to look up old WWII stuff. One website we came across had what looked like a hyperlink to another site, but it was actually a link to download a file. I was showing them how to download the file and what program to use to open that format, but when windows explorer opened to ask me where to save it to, apparently my dad had saved a lot of 80's looking **** images in that file. I closed that **** in .001 seconds, and I don't think either saw what happened. I just turned over the controls and told them they were on their own, I had something to take care of...

*My phone's autocorrect would prefer if your name were Joe Perestroika.
There used to be a guy named Dick Schumeyer who worked in sales here. Word and Outlook always wanted to call him Dick Scummier.
