Hugo Boss produced and supplied Nazi uniforms.
Fanta was also a Nazi invention. In any case, not to worry; The orange Fanta of today was produced for the first time in Italy, in Naples, in 1955, when a local bottling plant started producing it using locally sourced oranges.

Killer whales are not whales, they’re dolphins and the name we give them is a mistranslation of the Spanish ‘whale killer’.
Sharks teeth envolved from their skin, and the jaws from their ribs.
