When Kraft wanted to expand their line of horrible vegemite spreads they decided to let the customers come up with the name like so: Seems like a pretty standard bullshit competition right? Well the winner they ended up picking was this:  The reaction against the name was so strong that the guy who won the competition ended up leaving the country.

RonMexicosPitbull posted:The person is just wishing you well dude they aren't trying to convert you. Same with "I'll pray for them" when someone is in the hospital it just means that you're in their thoughts and want you to be well. Theres nothing sinister about it. You've clearly never red a periodical put out by a church. The letters to the editor are always full of people ever-so-gently criticizing some article or previous letter for it's impure or biblical basis. As everyone has to pretend they're all in one big Jesus loving communion the letters always include some form of "I'll pray for you" which is code for "burn in hell heretic filth" .

Armyman25 posted:I find it weird that the paper keeps saying that America didn't have a coffee culture. We do, it's called a diner. People in the US have been going to small restaurants, hanging out and drinking coffee since God knows how long. You go, order a cup of coffee, sit and drink it. Usually you get free refills, it doesn't cost $5, and there aren't any goofy naming conventions. Given that the Author is Australian he's almost certainly using coffee and espresso interchangeably. The idea of charging people for coffee out a jug on a hotplate is unthinkable in Australia, though hot drip brewers are popular to have at home.

PhantomZero posted:So why all the stories of companies just changing labels on things? Do you make more money selling the "premium" label? Or is this established companies being their own "generic" version and selling more of the same product for slightly cheaper and less margins? Yeah they'll sell a premium and an economy version of the exact same product to cover more sections of the market.

I don't get the big deal about pulled pork or any pulled meat. It ruins the cut and is just flavourless stringy rubbish most of the time.

Gabriel Pope posted:Freshly made pulled pork is glorious, but mass produced/ready made stuff is indeed pretty dire. There's a certain amount of cargo-culting that goes on where people (particularly outside the US, but also in parts of the US that don't have their own barbecue culture) see "hey pulled pork is pretty popular" and just shred up a bunch of meat in sauce without understanding how pulled pork actually got to be that way. Gotcha. It's like the difference between a cut of home made silver side that's been steeping in herbs all day vs the dry and tasteless corned beef that cafe's will put on their sandwiches and rolls.
