Only if you watch the edited for TV version.

IIRC, the TV version was, “They frig you at the drive through!”

I guess that’s what you get when you meet a stranger in the Alps.

[QUOTE=MrSquishy]  
See, where you and Jessica Simpson get confused is that by “Chicken of the Sea”, I think they’re saying “tuna is like the chicken of the sea”, not “this can contains chicken that comes from the sea”. It’s a metaphor, dude. 😉  
[/QUOTE]  
No, I checked the label and it doesn’t contain any metaphor; I think they used to put those sorts of things in food back in the sixties, but not any more.

Earlier, too. There used to be a brand of chocolate bar named “Chicken Dinner”.

I mean, [look at the freakin’ picture on the Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tartar_sauce) link for tartar sauce.

:eek: OMG! This looks like somebody just threw up all over it. You can’t honestly expect anybody to eat that (again), regardless of the kind of meat covered by it.
