I like to cook and sometimes people call me “chef” and I always correct them.

“Cooks prepare food for people they love, chefs prepare food for people they hate”.

I also dislike the term chef, bc the professionalization of the gendered activity “cooking” makes is acceptable for a man to do, but my family isn’t ready for that conversation.

Maybe he put his secret sauce on it.

There was a Burger King near where I lived back in the 80’s where a guy got arrested for attempted murder. He was angry that he had tested positive for HIV back when it was thought to be a death sentence. So he started jizzing in the mayo to try and take everyone with him. I think variations of this eventually turned into an urban legend.

I think the only way to get HIV is via intercourse or getting scratched with the infected person used needle/razor.

You are correct, but this is known now, not then. Back then people thought you could getting from just touching something someone with the virus had touched. Then it was thought that kissing was enough (the infamous Rock Hudson kiss in Dynasty). They were scary days. Think early on during the COVID lockdown when people started disinfecting their deliveries because we didn’t know how it was transmitted.
