They cost over 10 bucks a small bag on Amazon

It’s literally in the name of the company Frito Lay

Out of abject curiosity I’ll ask the guy who runs the Al Hayat market. He’ll either shoot me, laugh at me, or charge me too much but I’m curious

It’d cost me aggro, high blood pressure, and gain me no Fritos

Hence your ample supply. They don’t exist here

More than 10 US dollars on Amazon

One small packet costs $10.71 here

And that’s often not factored in when you order something shipped. You get sent an extra bill.

Yeah, no. Our Amazon site is different.

And often the stuff doesn’t turn up but gets impounded until you pay a lot of extra fees

Our Amazon stuff tends to come from here. There’s a lot if stuff on US Amazon that we can’t get

Shipping from the USA to UK is very expensive, way more than it used to be, and take way longer. And there’s duties, tariffs, and VAT.

In my youth but that’s back in the age of unicorns and such

And dozens of other nations too,

Hail comrade

And shipping from the USA to UK is a mess. I just got a Christmas. Today

There’s also import VAT

True. Medicine and Physiology

Umm. I live in the UK

Fair

That ain’t Sainsbury’s.

Wonder where the spam comes from

One would hope. It got better when I moved to Arizona where by the 1980s there was an effort to actually be truthful

Leftover sliced shake-n-bake chicken and potato chips. That’s good eats

One of my pet peeves of my earlier schooling in the USA was the abject ahistorical bullshit I got taught about things like Christopher Columbus and “Indians”, the Native Americans

Nahuatl is cool

Americans don’t seem to understand tariffs etc work other ways too. If you send something expensive to the UK, the recipient gets jammed with a massive bill

Americans telling me about our “federal government” in the UK….

Those service members would still be alive if there had been a basic effort by their leaders at hardening/passive defense. No reason to have a makeshift operations center in a war where you determine D-day.

Pretty much. Also, Khamenei limited Iran's missile range to 2,000 km against the recommendation of the IRGC.
