Have people forsaken the humble pickle barrel? Are they too good for it now?

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
Do you know how expensive a pickle barrel would be at this point in time? Only the rich can afford a bespoke cooper

Also who can eat a whole barrel worth of pickles, it take years? Like you wouldn't want to ware it with the pickles still inside, and throwing them out would be wasteful.

Now a potato barrel. Could empty that out in like six months.

Did you know: the political term "pork barrel" originated from the north american habit (pre refrigeration) of keeping a barrel of salted pork in the family home which served as a quick indicator of the family's financial condition- good times= full barrel.
So it's entirely possible that a newly destitute person would walk around wearing nothing but a reeking barrel.

Uganda politics are full of lovely assholes. I know all too well. A guy I used to work with was the grandson of one of their presidents and son of one of their high-ranking politicians. Most of the government are “murder all the gays” types.

What are you talking about, "two ducks" is a valid measurement in the imperial system. For reference, two ducks is equivalent to one kingsgoose

Nonono you're all reading it wrong. It's the size where you need to say "Duck!" twice.

One duck: small, you're only saying "duck" so they can't blame you when it comically bounces off their head.
Two ducks: pretty big, they definitely need to duck, say it twice to be sure.
Zero ducks: Just sit back and watch, it's too small to bother ducking for or too big for it to matter.

sure but these are unqualified waterfowl, so we have to assume theyre average. a duck will generally be say 750g to 1.5kg and a goose is roughly idk 1.5kg to 3kg. see? it checks out in the math i just made up

You'd think Japan would have probably gotten over the whole four fingered cartoon character thing a while back, though sounds like it's mostly just some pearl-clutchers opportunistically making noise about it so they can get paid off to stop.
