Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for March 07, 2024

Why would you change your name to something ridiculous, I have an easy name, 6 letters but I still have to spell it to people on the phone

Steve is looking for the best Chicken Parmigiana and he thinks he can find it at a pub? His forensics needs some improvement.

It’s a 5 minute walk from my house to the pub. It’s a 30 minute walk from the pub to my house.

The difference is staggering.

It may be spelled Bacon Double Cheeseburger, but it’s pronounced Throat Warbler Mangrove.

We used to have spudnuts back in the late 60’s. But they were advertised as being made with potato flour, not mashed potatoes. I liked ’em.

The Bible says that a snake is the embodiment of the DEVIL. Loving snakes is a sin.

I always make my raised doughnuts with leftover mashed potatoes in the dough—not instead of flour, but in addition to it, to make the doughnuts moister and raise better.

Who says accountants are boring?

I hope that gentleman found his perfect chicken parmigiana.

There’s potato bread so why not spudnuts.

Merge the second factoid with today’s Wallace the Brave and you’ll get Sweet Butter Spudnuts

With these ridiculous name changes, I see that the U.S. isn’t the only place where fools attempt notoriety. Their introductions must be fuel for later laughter at their expense.

Spudnutw are so much kitsch to the French!

Not sure were spudnuts are available, but when I was much younger, we had a spudnut shoppe across the street and the potato doughnuts literally melted in your mouth.

Don’t bother with the chicken parms when you should be looking for a perfect Reuben.

Simon Smith is now changing his name to Quadruple Bypass.

Hardee’s & Carl’s Jr. had a “Monster Burger,” consisting of 2 third-pound 100% Angus beef patties, 4 strips of bacon, 3 slices of American cheese & mayonnaise, served on a bun. Had 1420 calories & 107 grams of fat.

Now comes Burger King’s Bacon King – 2 quarter-pound beef patties, 6 strips of thick-cut bacon, 2 slices of American cheese, ketchup, & mayo on a toasted sesame seed bun, with 1710 calories & 119 grams of fat.

The American Heart Association seal of approval is nowhere to be found!

Once a week was ’d get good and sick of the stuff otehrwise

Did Bacon Double Cheeseburger have a little brother named Chili Cheese Dog?

I think “Meathead” would be a more appropriate name for Mr. Smith.

I think Steve had a good idea. Sounds like fun

We had a Spudnut shop in our hometown. It was sort of a chain or franchise. The donuts they made were delicious, a raised/glazed donut, maybe a bit sweeter, that used flour made from potatoes, not wheat or another grain. There are still a few Spudnut shops around. Last one I saw was in Charlottesville, Virginia, maybe 30 years ago.
