The FDA warned the Nashoba Brook Bakery that the labelled ingredient “X” in their Nashoba Granola “is not a common or usual name of an ingredient, and is considered to be intervening material because it is not part of the common or usual name of the ingredient”. The “ingredient” was a nod to the passion bakers put into their product.

#DignityMattersWhen Modi ji was in Varanasi and was laying the foundation stone of toilets at a village, he saw ‘X’ written on them. He congratulated state government for coining the name and after this Centre wrote to all states on October 16 in this regard, advising Hindi-speaking states to call a toilet an ‘X’ while urging other states to come up with other terms in regional language with the same meaning.

According to Centre, it is a good practice that instils a sense of dignity and pride in the entire family for their toilet and will have a positive impact on usage as well. Id X,a brainchild of U.P. Gov.

#FantasticFourFantastic Four got their powers when they were bombarded with cosmic rays. Logically anything you run into in space that can affect you will likely kill you. It turns out that a more appropriate saying regarding space would be "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger." China has taken this idea of getting special abilities from space, and they've started using "cosmic radiation" to do something else. They started a project in 1987, and have been sending hundreds of X on shuttles or high-orbit satellites to be irradiated by "cosmic radiation in space,". And the effect of this vague radiation resulted in genetic changes and "multiple chromosomal aberrations" that enhanced vigor and some other factors of X. Id X.

#SeriousIssueMany societies throughout history took this issue very seriously as X was a primary food source and had very strict laws for this. In ancient egypt if Y cheated their customer their ear were nailed to the door of their shop. In babylon, Y would have his hand chopped off. To save themselves from such harsh punishments Y started giving one extra X, and this gave rise to a phrase Z.

There is another very common phrase used nowadays to emphasize the importance of X, considered as one of the best inventions of all time.

Id Z?
