That trickle down economics actually works.

Kentucky Fried Chicken had to change their name to KFC because the meat is lab grown and doesn’t come from chickens anymore.
This, but the chickens have some supernumerary number of legs and wings, which legally makes them not chickens.
Also, the fruit in McDonald’s apple pies isn’t apples but chayote stewed in apple sauce, because that’s cheaper and has much the same texture.

Crikey what an unusual story! With no twists in the tale or deviation at all. Why do you think they all tell it as first person?

Ah of course leg pulling would make sense
It’s the Chinese expat version of drop bears, then?

Did you ever challenge them on it? Point out that you’d heard an identical story from multiple other people? If so, how did they react?

Oh that’s interesting. I never would have presented the question as challenging their memory because it never even occurred to me that they may genuinely believe what they were saying. Is it your experience that they do actually sell to believe that story happened directly to themselves?
Gangs drive around with their headlights off and then kill the people that flash headlights at them as an initiation.
Hah. I had someone at my old job sent a warning email about that. Or they claimed a gang member would be broken down on the side of the road and then shoot you when you stopped to help. Same email. I think people are paranoid.
That Prince removed two if his ribs so he could fellate himself.
Also my friends friend was playing a ouija board with people and the glass was moving. He was skeptical so asked it to say his older brothers name and it spelled the wrong name. He told his mum and she burst into tears and said he had an older brother who died as a baby.
That chinese strawberries have needles in them so children would eat them and they will puncture their stomachs, because reasons, even though they were turkish strawberries. Also heard similar one but with razors and different food.

This actually happened in Australia a few years ago. Like 2022 I think. Some strawberries had razors in them. I don’t think anyone got hurt, but it did cause a pretty big scare for a few weeks.
First time I’ve heard this story was close to twenty years ago. 😺
“They’re putting litterboxes in the classrooms for the furry kids. My cousin’s rooommates’s mom works at XYZ school and she said they’re really doing that.” I’ve heard it from 3 different people.
At no point during this Rogan Experience fever dream wherein a child in a fursuit poops in a sand box in class did any of these people stop to think that maybe they are just gullible.
I had a 10-15 min conversation with someone at work that thought this. He was mad about it too. After I explained a few points, like if there was a litterbox in school that people are shitting in then there would be pics. Smart phones are everywhere and you don’t think a kid would have uploaded a pic before the end of the class period. He finally saw the logic, but said maybe someone brought it in as a joke. Like kids joking a furry in class or something. That assumption is a big difference than claiming schools let kids shit on litterboxes because they identify as cats.
Either way, I want proof before I believe in such a ridiculous claim.
