Pork Roll is just a fat shaming nick name some of you have given to Taylor Ham.

Pork roll is its birth name and Taylor Ham is its rapper name.

Exactly the opposite actually. It was originally Taylor Ham.

Dude, it's been 116 years, let it go.
Callous_Mat t1_ixx4nr4 wrote
Yeah, man. Like, 116 years ago it had it's rapper name and now it's real name is finally allowed to shine. I really need to let that go. Whew. Thanks random internet guy. I can finally move on. You must like Will Smith a lot now he's not the Fresh Prince.

My kid requested Taylor Pork Discs for breakfast one day and that's what we call it now(at home anyway lol)
toadofsteel t1_ixxrm4p wrote
Calling them discs just made me think of some kind of Jersey Tron setting, where combatants have to throw these little Taylor Pork Discs at each other until one of them dies.

Taylor Ham is like an imaginary lover?
Hellnugget19 t1_ixv365c wrote
More like an ex that hasn't been around in a hundred years but you're still in denial.
Callous_Mat t1_ixwtfyj wrote
More like your actual ex who tried to reinvent herself for her new boyfriend. Changed how she looked, calls herself by her middle name. But you got that late night phone call, head over for some drunken nookie and boom. Same old Taylor's Ham.

Do you say “get me an adhesive bandage” or “get me a bandaid”?

Taylor Provisions doesn't even call their product "Taylor Ham," so it's a moot point.

You talking about Taylor brand Pork Roll? Get it right.

I’m sure you call bandaids “adhesive bandages”

Why, yes I do. I also call tissues tissues.

But at least you're not one of those hard roll heathens... I'd rather call it pork roll than eat it on non-bagel bread.

C'mon guys we all know "Taylor Ham" is what you call it when you make it nicely with perfectly even slices in the morning, and cut it in the middlle so it doesn't pucker up.
It is "Pork Roll" when you say "ef it" ... and slice it to a questionable thickness, fry the living shit out of it so it's almost bacon, and put some good old american cheese (ONLY American cheese), a fried egg and toss it all on whatever bagel you have.
I'm originally from Philly so it's "Pork Roll" for me...

Taylor ham is what he looked like last night. Pork roll is what you wake up too
JudyLyonz t1_ixwivef wrote
That's backwards. Pork roll is the name of the product, Taylor Ham is a brand of pork roll. Hence, Taylor Ham is the nickname.

Do you ask for a facial tissue or do you ask for a Kleenex? https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/24/smarter-living/how-a-brand-name-becomes-generic.html

I ask for a Kleenex Ham.

Thanks! I think.
NJtoTheBay t1_ixvw0gc wrote
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.
LetterCanHe t1_ixwp9bc wrote
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.
Callous_Mat t1_ixw8kud wrote
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.
Etherius t1_ixwqtwd wrote
What about bandaids?
NJtoTheBay t1_ixwvf6r wrote
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.
Etherius t1_ixwvkf8 wrote
You sound like one of those people that pronounces “gif” with a hard g
NJtoTheBay t1_ixx2a2x wrote
The first word is “graphics” which is pronounced with a hard ‘g’ so... yeah, I do.
Etherius t1_ixx31u1 wrote
Ewww… do you also pronounce SCUBA like “Skuh-ba” since there’s a short “U” in “Underwater”?

"Ooh.. look at me. I never use colloquial or 'nick' names. Don't have Band-aids? Then give me an adhesive bandage, or whatever is on the fucking box. I'd love to tell you that my wallet has a Velcro enclosure, but I don't know if it was licensed by 3M... yes, quite."
That's you. That's what you sound like.

How about linking to one that I can buy today like I linked to? Surely no problem, right?
Also what do you think whoosh means out of curiosity?? Do you think it's a cure-all for losing an argument?
Callous_Mat t1_ixwzbsv wrote
The entire point that was being made, you pork eating mook, is that people use colloquial terms for common use items everyday. Not every roll of bubble wrap is Bubble Wrap. Need a Dumpster? Can't. They're not called that anymore, the trademark ran out... I seriously doubt when you have a small scrape you go, "Ree! Mommy! Get me an adhesive bandage! IT'S WHAT'S ON THE FUCKING BOX!"
The fact that Taylor Ham had to be changed because some beaurocratic bullshit is ridiculous, the product remains unchanged. Whatever you and your overlords decide to put "on the fucking box," it's Taylor Ham.

Yeah, how dare the government say "you can't call something what it's not."
Callous_Mat t1_ixxb748 wrote
No, the government said, "We've changed what this is, now you can't call it what we say it's not." Man had a product and a name brand. US government steps in and fucks with man's livelihood.
Hellnugget19 t1_ixxy84b wrote
Ham is a specific cut of pork, taken from a pig. If inclined, you can take any ham and point to exactly where it came from. The best you can do with pork roll is gesture vaguely towards the pens. Man called it "prepared ham" to try and be a weasel and got called out because it's not ham. And now a hundred plus years later people are still simping for the poor poor businessman that couldn't just lie to everyone for profit without the big bad gubmint stepping in.
Cry me a river.

Damn... that "on the fucking box" comment really sent you into a mental tailspin, huh? You've quoted it like three times.
