qualewds

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.

    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.
