Made me wonder what combination is behind Maalox.
The acronym ‘MAALOX’ refers to the solution’s compositional elements: magnesium and aluminum as oxides.
Damn, not as interesting as I’d hoped.

That’s exactly how I would’ve though it was spelled too.But apparently…
The drug name “Quaalude” is a portmanteau, combining the words “quiet interlude” and shared a stylistic reference to another drug marketed by the firm, Maalox.

Is it bad that I learned the spelling through playing tons of DopeWars back in the 2000s? 🤣
