A certain brand of Yogurt added 'H' to their spelling to make it Yoghurt to signify a new formulation that has been more fermented and with higher acidity

A chromatography column supplier was advertising that damaged HPLC columns where all analytes would elute in the void volume could be repaired simply by adding 0.1 M Adderall to the mobile phase thus curing the Retention Deficit Disorder.
