Have you ever found yourself eating something, read the packaging, and immediately become nauseas? Usually this happens when someone finds out they are allergic to something in the ingredients or they find out that hot dogs aren't as wholesome as they appear. These things tend not to bother me, if I'm eating something delicious and then find out that it hats rats eyes as the main ingredient, it doesn't make me throw up. It leads to me hunting rats.
But don't let mislead you reader. Packaging doesn't only include the ingredients. No sir/ma'am/smirmam. For instance, sometimes companies make terrible mistakes in branding.
"Give us an example Emmanuel, right now you just sound crazy."
Old Dutch Potato Chips. There. I wish all potato chip companies just agreed to share the name "Deep Fried Potato Slices." that's all the information I need. You can start making them out of delicious rat eyes as long as that's the name.
"But why do you hate 'Old Dutch' so much?"
Because every time I grab a handful of those salty crinkle cuts (which is the worst chip cut), I feel like this is what I'm putting in my mouth:

This, by the way, is the first thing you get when you type "Old Dutch" into Google search. Blame it on me being a visual thinker, but I don't like to imagine each chip as a geriatric, telling me the same stories over and over as they limp down my throat with a walker. Even if it's not a person, then I just imagine a really old potato that traveled all the way from the Netherlands via steamboat to America, where it was made into a chip. Which might explain why I dislike their taste as well.
You may be accusing me of ageism right about now, but it was 'Young Dutch' then I'd just be thinking about eating babies. And while babies are arguably easier to stomach thanks to their size and lack of orthopedic shoes and bifocals, it's still gross. The moral of the story of course is to buy Tostitos. How can that name offend?
