@Skua @Blaze @tiramichu @GreatAlbatross Honestly couldn't tell you. But the UK company can't spell Oregon so they can't work that closely together... https://kettlechips.co.uk/pages/about

@Skua @Blaze @tiramichu @GreatAlbatross If you really want to do a deep dive, it looks like you can tell from the packaging. If it says 'Kettle Brand' it's American. If it says 'Hand cooked potato chips: Kettle' it's British. If it says 'Kettle: hand cooked potato chips' it's Dutch.

@Skua @Blaze @tiramichu @GreatAlbatross NB there is also an EU Kettle Chips based in the Netherlands - they seem to be part of Kettle Foods Ltd: https://kettlechips.eu/

@Skua @Blaze @tiramichu @GreatAlbatross Kettle Foods Inc and Kettle Foods Ltd are different companies. Kettle Foods Ltd is owned by Valeo Foods https://www.valeofoodsgroup.com/

@GreatAlbatross @tiramichu plenty of UK crisps (including Kettle, established in here somewhere - based in Norfolk, owned in Europe). Corkers, Pipers, Tyrrells, Two Farmers come to mind. Don't think any of them are owned internationally? I come from potato country - so many crisp factories round here!

@i_am_not_a_robot @mannycalavera owned by Valeo https://www.valeofoodsgroup.com/about-us/our-business which is Euro/Canadian, so you're fine.
Personally I prefer Corkers.

@AA5B that's why he's pulled Stefanik back in - he needs *every* seat

@Eheran @RaoulDook no. Didn't get 50% of the vote. Only 1.7% margin vs Harris. 11th smallest margin ever (including 5 negative, eg 2016).
When he claims a landslide it's because he wants to claim he has a mandate.
TBH the numbers are really weird. Getting that small a margin but winning every swing state is not likely. And every county that flipped, flipped one way to him, which hasn't happened since Hoover. Again, on that margin that's quite the feat.

@Nightwingdragon @vegeta I think he's just trying to stay solvent because knows Tesla is going to *tank* and he needs to pay off the Twitter investors (using xAI investors' cash) before he gets margin called

@Xanthobilly @ReallyActuallyFrankenstein partly this. Possibly also dementia + power-crazed wannabe dictator I suspect

@Eruanna amazing! And you thought you'd be the only one - I think this is the importance of these - people are realising they're not alone, just because Fox keeps telling them they are
