Gum arabic - Terrorist rumors
Oddly, the connection between Sudan and Osama bin Laden brought the otherwise undistinguished gum to public consciousness in 2001, as an urban legend arose that bin Laden owned a significant fraction of the gum arabic production in Sudan, and that therefore one should boycott products using it. As a result some food producers, for instance Snapple, renamed the ingredient "gum acacia" on their labels.
This story took on somewhat significant proportions, mostly thanks to an article in The Daily Telegraph a few days after the September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attacks, which echoed this claim. Eventually the US State Department issued a release stating that while Osama bin Laden had once had considerable holdings in Sudanese gum arabic production, he divested himself of these when he was expelled from Sudan in 1996.
