MODERATORS
But you can't just pair two entirely unrelated hyper-palatable things as some kind of gotcha. No one pairs fish fingers with gummy worms because that's an absurd idea, but plenty of people will pair fish fingers with potato gems, because they're delicious separately as well as together.
No one is saying that marketing isn't a factor here. But to ignore the combination of cheap, easy, and tasty misses a big part of the puzzle, and if we're going to fix the problem, you need to consider all aspects.
