You poo poo yourself in a movie theater? Of course you remember that. It would be more worrying if it happened routinely enough that you’d forget

So like 4 years ago they came out with new studies about the plague. They say that rats couldn't have possibly spread the plague at the rate that we thought they did. It was most likely humans propagating the plague by spreading the fleas and lice that caused it. But come on, there still has to be a few rats that are to blame. A few plague rats that helped spread the plague as we know it. In summary, gently caress some plague rats.

As an Australian I don't know what sun chips are but I can confirm that grain waves are good as hell. Especially the sour cream and chives.

I think it's more "if sun chips are so good, why aren't there knockoff sun chips?"

So you know good the grain waves are? Imagine that, but like, 15% better. That's sun chips.

Dunno where you live but in metro Detroit all name brand bags of chips are like loving $6 a bag now so I’ll gladly pay half that for some knock offs.

How do you determine if the knock-off if based on the original or a different knock-off?

Grain waves arent a knockoff, theyre their own distinct product since the original doesnt actuslly exist in oceania.

What do you want to do? Who do you want to be?
fwiw those aren't knockoff just alt brand. Probably the same recipe. Aldis probably has an agreement with Smiths/Pepsico to rebrand their product, but that's speculation.



Australia already has too much chip confusion and minds would implode were a third form of chip imposed upon us

Say Watt?

In the future, Australians will eventually call French fries cunts.

First they'll differentiate the two chips by calling the fries French chips. It sounds like friendships so it'll soon be shortened to friends, and then even more quickly friends will obviously be converted to cunts.

Context is everything. I was loving confused when I got crisps instead of fries with my sandwich in the USA.
Also they're frequently called hot chips, as opposed to packet chips.

my school french lessons specifically taught us that the french would try to trick us with that one

Once upon a time, it's possible that they were called "Frenched fried potatoes", referring to the julienne/chiffonade style of cutting vegetables, with the name shortened over time.

It's also possible this is a retroactive etymology.

Hilarious, regardless
