Lay's chips used to have a localized name here, which is Poca.

They reverted the name back to Lay's now however.

You'd be surprised by the ammount of localized names of Lays. For example, they are called "Walkers" in UK and Ireland.

Although for us, iirc the only localized foods I reckon (actually drinks) are Sprite and Fanta, called Chinotto and Hit respectively.

yes, I know, it looks disgusting. But trust me, it's so good!
(also idk why but the on the picture it looks pretty dry, usually when you open it up it has this soup thing inside, i think it's supposed to be the water that's inside the egg or something, im not really sure.)
Isn't this called Balut?

It's pretty much just that, either you hate it or you love it. Do you perhaps not put salt on it while eating? If you don't then you should try eating it but you add salt to the part you're about to bite.

the name of Mauritius (im half Mauritian half Swiss) comes from Prince Maurits van Nassau of the Netherlands, furthermore in the famous Palais de Versailles in France in the exposition room there is a desk made of ebony wood written on a gold plate ''fabriqué a partir de bois d'isle de France'' (made with ebony wood for the island of France so basically the old name of mauritius)

The climate here sucks and changes almost randomly. It has been nice and cool during October and November but for the past few days it's been dry as hell and above 32 degrees Celsius for no reason. Southern California is weird.

Our language has been proposed to be changed to standardize all dialects and vocabulary, sorta like how Esperanto works.

Needless to say no one liked that.
