Nope. Nevermind. I have been wrong this entire time. Americans suck. We deserve all of this.

Lay’s drastically rebrands after disturbing finding: 42% of consumers didn’t know their chips were made out of potatoes

THEY ARE FUCKING CALLED POTATO CHIPS YOU FUCKING MORONS WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK DID YOU THINK THEY WERE FUCKING MADE OF?!?!?

OH MY FUCKING GOD!!!!!

Goddamn, someone get me out of this stupid country. Jesus Christ!

I mean, I live in Maine where we grow potatoes that aren't good for much more than chipping.
We used to have a Humpty Dumpty factory right here.
School fieldtrips were required.
I've got no perspective on what city-folk in other states didn't learn.

It's...maybe conceivable. Egg creams don't have eggs.
Clam cakes are clamburgers, really.
Names can be deceptive.

...naw, it's stupid.

I'm growing some potatoes at the moment, if it's a good harvest might use a couple.of them to try doing my own potato crisps.

And yes, the Humpty Dumpty factory smelled delicious.

We have the Grippo's chip factory around where I live, and any time I drive by it, you can smell the deliciousness. Their barbecue chips are top notch. Addictive as hell.
Up north from here is the Mikesells chip factory, and it also smells fantastic. Their green onion chips are the best around.

I used to work in what was called Nalley Valley, it would either smell of pickles or peanut butter cookies. I was thinking maybe they made chips, but now I'm not sure.
I can only eat tortilla chips now or sweet potato chips.
The statistic doesn't surprise me as at one point it was revealed many kids didn't know where vegetables came from or how they were grown.

We are, as a country, completely disconnected from our food supply chain.

Honestly considering what the food corporations pass off to consumers as food, I'm surprised there is even any potato in potato chips anymore.

Buffalo wings: Not buffalo
Chicken of the Sea: Not chicken
Red velvet cake: Not velvet
Angel hair pasta: Not hair from angels
Swedish Fish: Not fish
Bloody Mary: Not blood
Rocky Mountain oysters: Not oysters
Budweiser: Not actually watered-down urine

Potato Chips: Actually made from potatoes.

List updated.

I’m not so sure about the Budweiser one.

America: Not a country

But bloody Mary's are from Mary. Got it.

Coincidentally, Kamala Harris got 42% of the popular vote.

Meanwhile, our newest Supreme Court Justice said she couldn't figure out what a woman was and the House Minority Leader set off a fire alarm, trying to figure out how to operate a door.

I'm more confident in his ability to operate a door than yours to operate a gun.

It's Volpone.

I'd be more confident in yogurt's ability to write a 5000 word novel than his ability to piss accurately.

Lies as usual.

Trump got 49.8% of the popular vote to Harris’ 48.3%. Smallest popular vote margin in half a century.

In contrast in 2020 Biden got 51.3% to Trump’s 46.8%

42% is about Trump’s approval rating at the moment though.

So yeah, plenty of morons in this country.

I wonder what the public understanding of potato chips was before the Department of Education...

Even more coincidentally your mom caught 42% of the dicks in her county

probably on par with other nations that are lacking a decent public education system...
although at 31st world wide, you're already walking that ledge. probably the private schools dragging you down given the only standard they have to meet is their own..

It's interesting to me, the dichotomy you people encompass.
Public education sucks. Right. So the majority of Trump voters are uneducated, then? Borderline illiterate? Is that what you are saying? And did you go to public schools? How would you rank your own intellectual ability, I wonder?

And then we have higher education, which is somehow a liberal indoctrination machine that also managed to spit out JD Vance, Ted Cruz, Mitch McConnell, George W. Bush, Ron DeSantis, Marco Rubio, Rand Paul...And oh yeah, Charlie "Block With Your Neck" Kirk.

As if to make my point, the U.S. spends more per pupil than other countries, and outcomes have gotten steadily worse.

Gosh, you're right. I can't understand why people with the ability to choose keep sending their kids to private schools.

Don't they know that if you want high standards, you have to go with the government product?

I had the ability to choose. And took my son out of the private HS I attended because their computer science Division was woefully inadequate compared to the public school he was zoned for.

Great. Having a choice works.

Edit: I wondered which one you'd nibble at. So you concede, I suppose, that your point is woefully indefensible?

I wouldn't necessarily go that far, and the failings extend to all political persuasions.

I did, and I realize that, in several ways, it did not serve me well.

Classy.

And I've made no claim about indoctrination.

You must give me time, darling. I work for a living and have to use moments as I have them.

I’ve been told that licking boots is pretty strenuous work.

So how far would you go? Don't be shy.

Which ways?

He sacrificed his life for your right to own a gun. I'm honoring his legacy.

So you agree it's not a place of liberal indoctrination?
