Reality Check by Dave Whamond for August 19, 2013

Good one, just saw those the other day. What did we do back when we only had Charles Chips in the can?

“Hmm, what’s going on? Oh. Hotcakes. Right.”

Sign on a pancake store: “Our flapjacks sell like hotcakes”

Before syrup, they were called Scottish Scones and were served with jams or lemon curd (heavenly) at afternoon tea!
