ACV

1. What does ACV stand for?

After coronavirus

As the covid pandemic began winding down, ACV came to stand for "after coronavirus." Those looking forward to hitting the gym, eating inside restaurants, and reuniting with their friends and family used this acronym to reference a time post-pandemic, when lockdowns and social distancing would be things of the past.

While some things will return to normal ACV, many of the changes rona inflicted on the world are either irreversible or here to stay regardless. For example, many of those who began to WFH during the pandemic will likely continue doing so ACV. Also, the pandemic's toll on the human population and world economy will be felt for years to come.

2. What food is ACV?

Apple cider vinegar

Foodies and health nuts use ACV as shorthand for "apple cider vinegar." Depending on who you ask, this vinegar made from fermented apple juice is either a nice addition to salad dressings and marinades or a modern-day panacea.

On social media especially, people often praise ACV's health benefits - stating it can do anything from helping you lose weight to curing cancer. However, ACV's actual health benefits are modest at best. Some include (according to the University of Chicago Medicine):

  • Helping control blood sugar
  • Killing bacteria in salads
  • Possibly boosting weight loss, in conjunction with a good diet

Example
