The word FUD comes from the spanish acronym: Fino, Unico y Delicioso (Refined, Unique & Delicious). It's a false cognate between English and Spanish, so not surprisingly, some Spanish language neologisms coined by the Sigma Alimentos marketing department to promote FUD are false cognates as well. For example, the word Fudgolazo as seen on Spanish language television and grocery store advertising, refers to a contest held by FUD for tickets to the 2006 FIFA World Cup (golazo is a Spanish word meaning a critical or important goal in a soccer game), and has no relation to fudge. False cognates are a pair of words in the same or different languages that are similar in form and meaning but have different roots. ... This article cites very few or no references or sources. ...
