listen here yankee, I'm from the south, the only chips I eat are Golden Flake.

Listen here redneck, Golden Flake sounds like some kind of divine dandruff.

Yeah, key word being DIVINE. God eats Golden Flake. So does Tommy Tuberville.

God gets dandruff, too. I always thought it was snow but apparently it floats down to earth as potato chips.

Honestly, who thinks up these brand names?

I guess we shouldn't even bring up Giant Eagle and Piggly Wiggly.

I have to wonder what went through these founder's minds when they set up the stores.

Maybe they tossed out "HUGE BIRD STORE" and went for Giant Eagle. Maybe they tossed out "wear your dirty clothes here" and came up with Piggly Wiggly.

I love Giant Eagle though - fuelperks? Getgo? Best ideas ever.

My mother-out-law used to say that she was going to "The Pig". Somehow, while I like Piggly Wiggly, that would nauseate me.

I've heard ads in the Midwest for The Giant grocery store, and they're identical to those of Giant Eagle. Somehow, they have to be related - but I don't think they have the fuel perks thing going yet.
