Just a little extra red dye 40.

I always read “togo” as the African country first, not as “to go”.

[-] Spuddlesv2@lemmy.ca 4 points 10 months ago

Wait is this a thing? Do Americans legitimately call it “togo”? I came in here to find out what sort of food togo was.

[-] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 24 points 10 months ago

No, we do not. We do say "to go" however. OP probably accidentally missed a space.

[-] CmdrShepard@lemmy.one 3 points 10 months ago

People mess this one up alot.

No. Normal people write "to go".

[-] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 5 points 10 months ago

british ex pat in America. I have said "to take away" and been met with blank looks, until I corrected to "to go"

[-] CmdrShepard@lemmy.one 5 points 10 months ago

I think "take away" is valid too. "To take away" just sounds odd.

[-] Chetzemoka@startrek.website 5 points 10 months ago

Also "carry out"

[-] 1847953620@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

American. Can confirm. Highly regarded people are everywhere.

[-] Sinkbath@lemmy.today 1 points 9 months ago

I believe the yelp app uses take out, which sounds right.

[-] NathanUp@lemmy.ml 25 points 10 months ago

I remember when anything from a chippy came wrapped in newspaper. I don't know why, but I really appreciated that as a kid.

[-] CuddlyCassowary@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

Fish and chips vendor. Basically wonderfully greasy fried British street food.

[-] NathanUp@lemmy.ml 5 points 10 months ago

There is nothing like a poke of chips. Somehow, something so simple truly has no analog in the US. I really don't know what they do so differently.

[-] SwallowsDick@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

More car oriented geography and more McDonald's

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 4 points 10 months ago

Can someone translate for those of us on the other side of the pond...?

[-] Airazz@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Fish and chips shop. Traditional and delicious British dish.

[-] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago

Chips here meaning french fries in the US, not potato chips, which themselves would be crisps in the UK.

[-] GiveOver@feddit.uk 4 points 10 months ago

It's what British people call a drug dealer. It comes from the word chipper, meaning perked-up

Or, in this context, a British fish & chips shop

[-] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago

I suppose being wrapped in newspaper would make it feel more scruffy and home made

[-] NathanUp@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 months ago

I don't think it was that - the way they wrap it is very quick and professional looking. The texture was nice in particular - a warm parcel of newspaper. Idk.

[-] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 months ago

That reminds me of how they wrap burritos

[-] NathanUp@lemmy.ml 3 points 10 months ago

Same energy

[-] Send_me_nude_girls@feddit.de 20 points 10 months ago

Cancer bread

[-] Wispy2891@lemmy.world 16 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Mildly infuriating, they weren't supposed to have the oils touch the inks

They should have wrapped it on the other side

You should ask a refund

[-] Cheems@lemmy.world 78 points 10 months ago

This place is in the middle of nowhere and it was a biker dive bar, I sure as shit am not asking for a refund haha.

[-] Luke_Fartnocker@lemm.ee 7 points 10 months ago

Don't ask for a refund; demand it. Threaten them if you have to. Tell them you'll bring the pain if they don't give you your money back.

[-] SirNuke@kbin.social 1 points 10 months ago

Is this the one part of the night qualifies as merely mildly interesting?

[-] NathanUp@lemmy.ml 41 points 10 months ago

In all likelihood, it's rated for direct food contact on both sides, like the stickers on fresh fruit; you're meant to be able to safely eat them (although you may not want to).

[-] nocturne213@lemm.ee 17 points 10 months ago
[-] SatyrSack@lemmy.one 16 points 10 months ago

I EAT STICKERS ALL THE TIME, DUDE!

[-] thekernel@kbin.social 11 points 10 months ago

ooor they just bought it from aliexpress and who knows what the ink is made from

[-] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

Where on earth do you get your information from

[-] AlboTheGuy@feddit.nl 12 points 10 months ago
[-] Cheems@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

It was actually ok. I wouldn't say it was great, but I enjoyed it. It was a Philly cheese steak.

He means, "That can't be good for you"

[-] SwallowsDick@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

I enjoyed this exchange

[-] Snapz@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

"You have cancer now"

"Yeah, I totally have it, but I had fun, it's fine"

[-] Cheems@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Such is life

Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
