Reply to comment by Medical_Penalty_7305 in Taylor Ham is a good friend who is always there for me and the rest of us when we need them. by Doctor-Bug

This is the dumbest argument because the issue isn’t the word “Taylor”, it’s the word “Ham” which it cannot legally be called.

It is called Pork Roll, and if it is the brand Taylor it is Taylor Pork Roll.

Calling it Taylor Ham is objectively incorrect.

Also, I call them tissues.

It’s also the dumbest argument because Kleenex says Kleenex on the box. No where does it say Taylor Ham on the box. Because it’s Pork roll.

The OG name is Taylor Ham. It had to be changed after 50 frickin years because the gub'ment came in and said it's no longer considered ham. It got renamed and the whole world (of NJ) was allowed to make whatever pig rubbish they wanted, pack it into a canvas sack and sell it as... blegh... pork roll.

What about bandaids?

It says band-aid on the box of that brand. The word Ham does not appear on any pork roll packaging. Why is this so hard to understand? Adhesive bandages of all brands are basically the same thing so people call them all band-aids, same with kleenex & tissues. Pork roll is a processed meat, ham is a specific cut of a pig. Calling pork roll ham is the same thing as calling bologna ham. It doesn’t make sense. You wouldn’t call a gauze pad a band-aid & you wouldn’t call a paper towel a tissue.

You sound like one of those people that pronounces “gif” with a hard g

The first word is “graphics” which is pronounced with a hard ‘g’ so... yeah, I do.

Ewww… do you also pronounce SCUBA like “Skuh-ba” since there’s a short “U” in “Underwater”?
