Like its chart-topping hard-rock colleagues in Staind, Creed may prove to be a lesson in Rock 101 for the Britney generation, a bland Big Mac to wean the kids off musical Gerber. But after a few bites of what this band serves up, experienced buds will crave more exotic fare--like Pearl...
Translation screw-ups by companies like Perdue (slogan "It takes a tough man to make a tender chicken" read "It takes a hard man to make a chicken aroused" in Mexico), Puffs ("whorehouse" in German) and Gerber ("to throw up" in French slang) might seem merely funny.

Meanwhile, Greenpeace began to target U.S. companies such as Gerber, which quickly renounced the use of transgenic ingredients, and Kellogg's, which has yet to do so. With so-called Frankenfoods making headlines, several other companies cut back on biotech: McDonald's forswore genetically engineered potatoes, and Frito-Lay decreed it would buy no more genetically modified corn...
