a very important announcement

[lirazel]

Listen, British people, I love you. You make great TV and pretty much invented the novel and I just think you're fantastic all around, except for the whole imperialism thing, which is mercifully mostly behind you. But do not go trying to tell me that Lay's and Walkers are the same. They aren't. They may be owned by the same company, but either the ingredients are different or the way they make them is different, because I am a Lay's connoisseur and let me tell you: they taste different. And Walkers are just not as good. Sorry, but it's true.

Signed,

someone who ate a whole whole lot of Walkers while she was studying in London and who lamented the fact that they weren't Lay's with every single bite

As a Canadian, this reminds me of back bacon. And how Americans have this thing called "Canadian bacon" that is like a lower level knock off back bacon. And just definitely not Canadian.

Also how Smarties (by Nestle) are far superior to M&Ms don't try to tell me they're similar

Yeah, I have frequently heard that "Canadian" bacon isn't at all what y'all enjoy, and I am not all that impressed with it myself.

I assumed back bacon was like fatback, but it seems it's slightly different. I haven't liked the bacon I've had in Europe--it was limp and soft, not crispy like I like my bacon. Is your back back soft or crispy?

Your Smarties are definitely better than ours--ours are pretty much flavored chalk!
