For any confused Americans, a British flapjack is not a pancake, it’s more of a soft granola bar.

Oh thanks, that really clears things up.

Yeah. You can add Canada to the confused list. Is "pot noodle" ramen or something?

Calling it ramen is like saying McDonald's is a restaurant; but yeah, pretty much.

Picture:

Dried noodles, a few peas and some flavouring in a plastic pot/tub/cup/container, which you add boiling water to to "cook".

Generally for eating at work/school etc, where you might want warm food but only have a kettle (electric water boiling device).

That sentence had more twists than an M. Night Shyamalan movie.

That can't possibly be the actual headline.

I thought milk shakes were preferred?

When the cops protested he violently battered them with a soft cardboard cone of pink fluffy candy floss. /s

[-] blimthepixie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 weeks ago

Was expecting the Daily Sport with a headline like that

[-] Etterra@discuss.online 4 points 2 weeks ago

TIL that "pot noodle" is what Brits call instant noodles cups.

How about he can have all the booze he wants, but banned from violence?
