Common Cold
The common cold, in its current form, has only existed since 1955. Until this point, there were 2 different colds - the Affluent Cold and the Proletariat Cold. In 1955, the launch of the television channel ITV is creditted with broadcasting the dominant Common Cold strain directly into the homes of the poor, and has since almost completely irradicated the passive (and harmless) Affluent and Proletariat strains.
