This is a wonderfully odd story and probably explains why we Canadians have Ketchup Chips. 🤣

Inside the surprisingly secretive world of crisp flavours
Why can you buy lasagne flavour snacks in Thailand but not in Italy? Which country can cope with the hottest chilli? And why do Germans like paprika so much?

I’ve pretty much hatewatched most of Marvel’s stuff over the past 5+years…

“Marvel should be synonymous with a good time, but increasingly, it’s synonymous with bloat, bad VFX, and poorly scripted film and TV.”

Something I’ve always been curious about…

Online mattress sellers offer “30 day sleep guarantee”. If you’re not satisfied, you send it back.

HOW!?

Those things are vacuumed sealed and come in a “little” bag. How does the consumer get the mattress back in the bag!? 😳

I was reminded by my friend Lesh of this site - back when the internet was fun.

“The Story Of A Man Who Taught His Cat To Use Instant Messaging.”

I laugh maniacally when the recipe calls for “1 clove of garlic” and I happily throw a whole *head* in there. 🤣
(does anyone *actually* use just one clove of garlic in a recipe!? 😳)
