The newspaper Free Press created some bad publicity from their layout headline; "RAPEFRUIT: Good for every meal". This imediantly caught the publishers attentions but it was far to late to change it once it was out. It was of course meant to be GRAPEFRUIT, but the 1000s of papers sold did not say that at all. Not only was it seen in the papers, but soon went viral on Reddit and Twitter. It was seen over 10,000 times in less than an hour. 100's of people commited and passed it along. The innocent recipe for grapfuit, became an ad for sexual assult.
