I really looked for an acronym but all I could find were slogans that news outlets used:
The BlyssPluss Pill would sell itself, it didn’t need help from him. But the official launch was looming closer, so he had his staff turn out some visuals, a few catchy slogans: Throw Away Your Condoms! BlyssPluss, for the Total Body Experience! Don’t Live a Little, Live a Lot! Simulations of a man and a woman, ripping off their clothes, grinning like maniacs.

It’s dubbed JUVE for Jetspeed Ultra Virus Extraordinary. The irony is that “juve” sounds like “reJOOVenesense”, the compound where crake created the virus
