Arizona has the largest continuous Ponderosa Pine forest in the world.
(and you guys probably thought its just all desert here

Been there once, the water tasted horrible.

A one ton cube of gold measures 14.7 inches on each side. Saw that on the History Channel like 4 years ago. Why cant I remember important things???

So, lessee- If I wanted 400 bacon double-cheeseburgers, I'd need two cows and a half a pig... Mmmmmmm. Bacon. I swear to you, if anyone ever invents bacon-scented perfume, I'd get arrested...

Clarify. Canadian bacon or bacon bacon

 

[Doc Sprocket]

Canadian Bacon? What's that?

I dunno- how about this- long thin strips of piggy goodness, a little crispy, a little salty, a little maple-y. Gotta go!

Making me hungry.

Pretty much just chewy ham.

Umm, American bacon. What you refer to as Canadian Bacon, we call back bacon. Calling Canadian bacon in Canada would seem silly. In Brazil, do they just call Brazil nuts "nuts"? What about Italian or Polish sausage? I'm going to assume in China, they call Chinese food "food". No?

 

[redsox985]

We do call it American cheese. Both white and yellow.

 

[Doc Sprocket]

Dang. I wonder what I call American Cheese. Because I've never seen "American" cheese for sale. And I'm a cheese freak. Goes great on bacon.
EDIT- Googled. What? That entirely non-cheeselike plastic wrapped individual sheets of salty orange putty? That's not cheese! Yech! We just call that "processed" cheese. Yech! Comes from plastic cows, methinks!

 

[redsox985]

It's still called American cheese in America. It comes in many forms and makes incredible mac-n-cheese and grilled cheese (due to engineered cheesy-ness), but that's about the extent of its use.

 

[Doc Sprocket]

Re-engineering required. My love of bacon is second only to my love of cheese. Here, we have "American" cheese, and it's pretty popular. But in no manner does it resemble cheese. When you melt it, it turns into goop. Okay, I'll admit that a grilled cheese sandwich made with the evil goop actually is pretty tasty, but cheese, it ain't.

What you call "Kraft Macaroni And Cheese", we buy as "Kraft Dinner".

I think we need a favorite cheese poll. TS being the connoisseur that you are, I nominate you for the starting of said poll. I vote for asiago!

Do they sell the abomination that is Kraft Easy Mac in Canada? The horrid microwave cups of sub sub-par mac-n-cheese?

And for a useless fact, tuna will sink if they stop swimming. (My biology teacher posts one of these random facts daily.) Americans choke on toothpicks more than anything else.

Three times more men commit suicide than women. But three times more women attempt suicide than men.

Each day is longer than the previous one by 0.00000002 sec. This works out at 13 sec. each century.
