    Halal Snack Pack Trumps Alt-Right and Fake News

    Figured this headline would piss a few people off ...

    Finally the people have spoken. Halal snack pack (HSP), “a fast food comprising layers of hot chips, grated cheese, halal doner kebab meat, garlic sauce, barbecue sauce and chilli sauce”, has been named People’s Choice Word of the Year 2016 by Macquarie Dictionary.
    The runners up were the terms alt-right and fake news, which was announced last week as the Committee’s Choice Word of the Year 2016.
    The surprising bit for me ... "aussies have their own dictionary?!?"

    Oddly enough, if you search for HSP on google, the good stuff is not on the first 3 pages (didnt bother looking further)
    But if you search google images, the good stuff is the first hit....

    I think the word got a bit of a boost during the Australian election due to Pauline Hanson (Australia's version of Trump)

    I guess, they're as effective as fried mars bars when it comes to darwinism.

    The food looks delicious, in some sort of special way that I still try to understand.
