    Sorry, Brits. You can’t have our unhealthy food. That’s American food for American stomachs!

      Honestly I’ve never realized before that from that low-quarter-view, the eagles actually look kinda cute and friendly, not intimidating like from the side or ridiculous like from the front.

        Have you ever heard a Golden eagle call? They hae a weak thin call, like a seagull. This isn’t macho enough for the US, so they always play a different call on films, that of a hawk!

        It’s the eye socket and positioning. You can kind of see the pocket created by their “brow” in that picture, but we see them as intimidating or what have you, because we are trying to interpret facial expressions as language.

      And they’re saying they can make it without the shitty ingredients, they don’t wanna if they don’t have to.

      The manufacturers of Lemonheads, Starburst Gummies, Hershey’s and Jolly Ranchers told the BBC their products were produced legally in the USA and that any products being sold in the UK were being done so illegally, and not associated with their brands.

      How appropriate that I have a ton of Eagles where I live, and they hang out at the dump eating rats will of garbage all day.
