Do people really not know about White Castle? Didn’t anyone watch Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle?

My wife is from New Jersey. I know about White Castle.

I know about it. I’ve heard of the Harold and Kumar movie, but haven’t seen it. I’ve seen White Castle’s stuff in the frozen food aisle of grocery stores as well.

That does nothing to change the fact that the picture above has such a thin slice of “meat” I can’t help but wonder if it is Spam.

It clearly says on the box that it’s made with 100% beef. Like, perhaps, they kept 100% beef nearby so they could use it to color match whatever the meat the slider is made from.

“Suppose you are advertising lemonade, or, not to be invidious, we will say perry. If you say ‘Our perry is made from fresh-plucked pears only,’ then it’s got to be made from pears only, or the statement is actionable; if you just say it is made ‘from pears,’ without the ‘only,’ the betting is that it is probably made chiefly of pears; but if you say, ‘made with pears,’ you generally mean that you use a peck of pears to a ton of turnips, and the law cannot touch you–such are the niceties of our English tongue.”
(from Murder Must Advertise of course.)

On topic, any interest in Flip 7?

No idea how to play Flip 7, but willing to learn.

My wife is also a former fda law lawyer so I can confirm that a claim of 100% beef means 100% beef - though other things can be used in making of said patty as long as they are all gone by the time the final product is off the production line.

Oh, but that is an interesting point from @RogerBW. I missed the 6pt font there. Yes, you can make some odd claims with specific wording.

Watch out for the “peanut flavored spread” that is carefully not called “peanut butter.”

Which is naturally flavored with other natural flavors, naturally.

Or “Chocolate flavored candy” around Easter.

OK, I’ve set up a Flip7 table. Rules at Roger's Rules as well as on the site. Apparently the custom invite link is a premium thing, but poke me with your BGA username for an invitation.

Season 2 of Heat (I hadn’t worked out how to get this scorecard for season 1 where I came dead last), that last race win catapulted me from a second season in the doldrums to a silver.

Season 3 momentum achieved… (not really)

Thanks to all for playing!

Looks like it’s here! Where’s Grand Austria?

Also, Keyflower! The Splotter guy (onlineboardgamers.com) has finished an implementation. It isn’t as visually polished as BGA, but it has confirm, undo, and autopass, and hopefully few (and decreasing) bugs. Anyone want to give it a spin?

Looks like obg does not have an option to start with an empty seat. I’ll kill this and start a 3 person table.
