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 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[-] CmdrShepard@lemmy.one 3 points 2 years ago

People mess this one up alot.

[-] SwallowsDick@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

It's weird how culturally ubiquitous some common smartphone typos become

[-] CrayonRosary@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

No. Normal people write "to go".

[-] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[-] Chetzemoka@startrek.website 5 points 2 years ago

Also "carry out"

[-] 1847953620@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

American. Can confirm. Highly regarded people are everywhere.

[-] Sinkbath@lemmy.today 1 points 2 years ago

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

[-] NathanUp@lemmy.ml 25 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[-] NathanUp@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years 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.

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

[-] Airazz@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Fish and chips shop. Traditional and delicious British dish.

[-] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[-] NathanUp@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

That reminds me of how they wrap burritos

[-] NathanUp@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Same energy

[-] Send_me_nude_girls@feddit.de 20 points 2 years ago

Cancer bread

[-] Wispy2891@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[-] NathanUp@lemmy.ml 41 points 2 years 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 2 years ago
[-] SatyrSack@lemmy.one 16 points 2 years ago

I EAT STICKERS ALL THE TIME, DUDE!

[-] thekernel@kbin.social 11 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

Where on earth do you get your information from

[-] AlboTheGuy@feddit.nl 12 points 2 years ago
[-] Cheems@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

I enjoyed this exchange

[-] Snapz@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

"You have cancer now"

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

[-] Cheems@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Such is life

[-] xantoxis@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago
[-] Cheems@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Hmmm yeah greasy.

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.
