* New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg had passed several laws and regulations that either regulates or bans something in order to boost life expectancy and to ease the strain on the healthcare system. Smoking has been heavily restricted (and he currently trying to make it illegal to have cigarettes out in full view in order to protect kids), trans fat oils have been banned in the city, and the mayor wanted all sodas sold beyond 16 oz cups to be banned, but the proposal was blocked by a judge. Citizens and critics alike blasted the mayor for trying to meddle in everyone's lifestyles and many have called him the nanny mayor, but Bloomberg openly stated that he doesn't mind being called a nanny if it means getting people to start changing their lifestyles for a better healthy one.

* The [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep-fried_Mars_bar deep-fried Mars bar]] began life as a novelty item available at a vanishingly-small number of fast-food eateries in Scotland. A number of media reports sought to make it emblematic of the population's notoriously poor dietary habits, but the coverage increased interest in the dish and it is now available in most chip shops.
* LetsPlay/{{Dream}} quickly gained popularity through his "Minecraft Manhunt" series, in which he would attempt to speedrun ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' while several other content creators hunted him down. One run of version 1.16 was however removed from speedrun.com in mid-2020 after moderators came to the conclusion that the game had been manipulated in order to give Dream optimal drop rates for Blaze Rods and Ender Pearls. The whole fiasco barely made a dent on his immense and prolific fanbase, and in fact boosted it: by the end of March 2021, he had passed 20 million subscribers.

* Obscure Israeli prog-metal band Capricia found themselves the object of opprobrium from none other than Music/RogerWaters for...being Israeli. Keyboardist Doron Frankenberg commented that, first, he considered it [[InsultBackfire an honor to be on Waters' shit list]], and second, the band couldn't ''buy'' that kind of publicity.
