You mean French fries aren’t made for real Frenchmen, and hamburgers aren’t made from folks from Hamburg? Next thing you are going to tell me, Girl Scout cookies aren’t made from real Girl Scouts.

Well, the hamburger does find its ancestry in Hamburg. The bun part is American (because of course it is), and probably the ketchup part (ditto), but the fried ground beef patty is Hamburgian food.

Pringles are potato crips.

Hopefully they keep them far away from the potato bloods.

From the one time I tried them, Pringles might as well be potato pottery. Emulsified, moistened, molded into vaguely esthetic shapes and baked hard. Not a fan at all.
