Mind you, the 'Dietz' refers to the local deli purveyor of meats... "Dietz and Watson"- this is NOT a nut product in any way.
Which begs the question- which genius in the marketing department decided to use testicle imagery (i.e. "Deez nuuts") to try to sell nuggets of cured meat?

Clearly they've concluded that Americans no longer possess any dignity. If it's $2.99, people will buy Eat This, You Fat Asshole chips.

"Flavour" not "Flavor." Gotta be some weird English shit that ended up on our blessed shores.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Curiously, on my desktop I can see the photos but not on my laptop or pad.
