I’m not sure I’d say they are popular. But Elvis did love them. Though Elvis liked his peanut butter and banana sandwiches fried.

They used to have “Miracle Whip Salad Dressing” on the labels over here in the states. Though it looks like they may have dropped the “salad dressing” from the label now.

Yes. Because the customer can decide against the purchase if they don’t want their change as store credit. No one is forcing them.

“...the flavoring is so overpowering that it’s harder to taste the flavor of the underlying corn chip itself.”

Would regular ol’ antibiotics help with radiation poisoning?

Or you could show them this:

And there’s probably also this that I just saw on the Wikipedia page for the book:

No. This is exactly what a translation is. Not every individual word in every language has a single word equivalent in every other language. Using multiple words to translate such words is perfectly acceptable as long as the meaning comes across.

I was going to say this also, in case someone else hadn’t. At least when it comes to store names, I think most of the time people are just forming the possessive of the name. For instance J.C.

But it makes it so much easier to rhyme words like “purple.”

“Any of those mondegreens make more sense than comparing Africa’s tallest mountain to another, much shorter mountain.”

I was going to add that they should try a golden ginger ale (of which Vernor’s is one brand) rather than a dry ginger ale. It just seems like it would pair better with ice cream - especially since Nick said to lean into bold flavors. Golden ginger ales are more flavorful.

I could eat pumpkin pie any time of the year. Also pumpkin bread and pumpkin cookies. But for the most part I only make them around the holidays. Or if I want to bring something into work.
