Candia

Earlier today, I saw an online advertisement for Candia milk and unfortunately the first thing that popped into my mind was Candida yeast. Hmm... either I have a weird mind, or this isn't a very well-named product. Out of curiosity, I randomly decided to do a Google search for Candia and see what came up.

I was a little surprised to find that not only was there a Candia Milk, UK, company, but Wikipedia also says that there are French and Italian milk manufacturers also called Candia. In addition, it is also the old Venetian name for both the island of Crete and its capital city. So maybe it's not such an unfortunate name after all.

In any case, it's not as unfortunate as Lesbos Island. I wonder, did one of the biologists or sociologists who worked on sexuality studies have something against Greek islands?
