Look, if we start relitigating how words should be spelled in English, written language will cease to hold any meaning.

Captain Hygiene posted:Wait til you hear about the lyrics to the alphabet song. Might want to sit down Since the whole drat point of the alphabet song is to teach the alphabet in alphabetical order it'd be pretty bloody pointless to have them in any other one. Though "O G I M N X T C Y L singin' out my F H Z, Q E D on my new P V, A K B 3 S the one for me, smoked a fat J up in a tree a W now U R to cross-eyed me ." does have a certain something I guess, and potential for a lucrative sponsorship deal. I'd just really never thought about the order of A E I O U before because why would you? It's a nice logical phonic progression as well as being in order.

Oh you want jingles? Australia's got jingles https://soundcloud.com/chris-keating/friend of the family-boy-soap-pads  We were still selling Coon Cheese and Redskins candy up until 2021 when they changed the names, and of course there was a LOT of people protesting the change

FreudianSlippers posted:Tenders are a specific cut of chicken meat. The "meat glue" Hmm: that's a myth I guess "MYTH: “Meat glue” is used to hold chicken nuggets together. FACT: Transglutaminase, referred to by some as “meat glue,” is an enzyme sold for almost two decades that is used mostly in food service to bind pieces of meat together, such as a beef tenderloin or a strip of bacon to a filet. It is not used to make chicken nuggets. It is unnecessary – protein is extracted with salt and phosphate, then breast or thigh meat is ground or chopped and then easily formed into a nugget shape. The breading helps hold the nugget together, as well."

Meat glue would just be an extra cost. The nugget meat is so thoroughly blasted apart it has its own glue ready to bind itself back together.

Remember when someone tweeted video saying "this pink goo is how they make McNuggets" and McDonald's's official twitter yelled at them saying that it was a myth and that's not how McNuggets are made, and then the OP noted that the video is literally from a McDonald's video on how they make McNuggets? Good times.

veggie nugget technology has advanced by leaps and bounds in just the last couple of years. I used to say that they tasted like cardboard, and the ones from KFC absolutely did, but the last I tried were nigh indistinguishable from proper chicken slurry. simulate brand from target

I like that they have dino flavor- if you’re going to make fake meat it shouldn’t be boring-rear end chicken, it should be bald eagle or pterodactyl. I’d go apeshit on a pile of Quetzalcoatl nuggets.

I used to pronounce "guild" so it was more like "Ge-uld" and not like "gild." When I say "used to" I mean up until like 3 years ago when I said it the wrong way during a gaming session with friends...I'm 40.

Back when the Red Alert games were a big thing, I played them a lot with a friend of mine. They involved a lot of made up Tesla coil weaponry - but for some reason, my friend pronounced it as "Telsa" every time. The dumb bit is, I thought he was wrong but he was so confident in his pronunciation that I figured it must be because it was a foreign word. I then meekly went along with it, to the point that it took years for the real pronunciation not to sound weird to me.
