After all a very renowned and still extant drug company from near Cologne came up with the brand name Heroin for its patent morphine addiction reduction drug. I did hear that they trademarked heroin the same week that they also trademarked aspirin. Do you know if this is true?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31265055.post-34217449279125168652009-02-20T17:01:00.000+01:002009-02-20T17:01:00.000+01:00Montmartre cafés - the cliché!Montmartre cafés - the cliché!https://obscenedesserts.blogspot.com/https://www.blogger.com/profile/14637377045831848328noreply@blogger.com
