Like wtf?

When I first saw what CB was, I was just like "Wtf is this?" This isnt bacon?

I feel like I'm disrespecting Canada everytime I say it myself.

It's a different cut of meat, bacon is from the belly while canadian bacon is from the back.

Also, most canadians call it "back bacon", because, well, it is.

Why do Americans call football football if you play most of the game with your hands? Also, what word do other countries use to refer to the sport that Americans call "football"? Is that sport even played outside of America?

Other countries typically refer to it as American football.

American football branched off of rugby football which is itself branched off of some proto football. Association football (soccer) is another branch off of proto football. Football used to just be a mess of different games because everyone played a bit differently but it eventually evolved into multiple distinct sports that are way off of each other

I don't get too upset when they call it Canadian bacon, given that they're weirdly proud of calling the plastic tasting hyper processed "cheese" slices "American cheese".

When I was a kid in the early 80s, it was common to make fun of the poorer kids (the ones whose families were on WIC) by saying they got "government cheese".

Fast forward to the late 90s when I'm working in a grocery store and had to learn to run a WIC transaction through the register. And I'm taught that Kraft American Singles (or Borden, or any other national brand) are actually "pasteurized processed cheese food" and don't qualify for WIC because they're technically not real cheese. WIC purchases have to be stuff like Kraft Deli Deluxe, you know, where the slices aren't individually wrapped, but are actual cheese.

So those poor kids, who got made fun of, were in fact eating better than the rest of us, and we were too dumb to know it.

he said the singles don't qualify for wic, so when they made fun of the poor kids for eating it they were actually eating "better"

just because it cost more didn't make it better

The poor kids were eating actual cheese, yes. The rest of us weren't, and we were too clueless to know the difference.

Like he posted below, the poor kids could only get the real cheese using WIC, meaning the poor kids were eating better because they were eating actual cheese
