Centers for Disease Control and Cable News Network - nope
National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing and New York Stock Exchange - there's the common word "stock"
Federal Emergency Management Agency and National Association for the Advancement of Colored People - nope

2K: of choices given I would prefer mushrooms. I would prefer olives too, but they're not up there. I don't eat pork sausage or pepperoni. I have picked tbe pepperoni off a lot of pizzas though. Afraid audience will go for personal prefs too. And 50/50 being rigged again makes me distrust it since I already know best distactor will be one of my 2 choices. +1
