Chicken Fingers?

Now don't get me wrong, I love me some chicken. I am however a little confused as to why they are called chicken fingers. I didn't grow up on a farm, but I do know chickens do not have fingers. Chickens have wings, those make sense. Chickens have legs, and while they are skinny they still make sense. But they don't have fingers, so where are chicken fingers coming from? Is that what they mean by genetically modified? They have fingers growing on the backs of chickens in some lab somewhere? Maybe I am asking too many questions and when something tastes as good as chicken fingers I should mind my own business before PETA shuts down the chicken finger labs or something.

Fun Size?

So Halloween was just last week and that got me thinking about candy. I'm a big fan of candy bars, but I'm a little confused about their naming system. Why is it that the smaller version of a candy bar is called "Fun Size?" This makes no sense. The candy is still good, but it's in no way more fun that a regular size candy bar. The "King Size" candy bar makes sense, that's the size bigger than regular and it's fit for a king. The candy bar industry should have stuck with that naming system and called the small versions "Peasant Size." I can see how that wouldn't sell as well, but it would make more sense. The industry could have been less degrading with the name and gone with "Prince Size" or "Duke Size." Then they've streamlined all their products and I can use the extra brain power from the sugar rush to think about things more important than the candy industry.

Easy as Pie?

So what the heck does saying something is "as easy as pie" mean? This phrase doesn't really make any sense. If I said something was "tasty as pie" then everyone understands, but what is so easy about a pie? It's not talking about making a pie cause if I had to make a pie the only part I would know how to do is buy a pie crust. Maybe people mean as easy as eating pie? I guess that makes sense, as long as the pie isn't too liquidy, or too hot, or the last thing I'm trying to fit into my stomach at the end of a Thanksgiving meal. I guess people might mean something is as "easy as pi". But that doesn't make sense cause 1. I've only heard Americans use this phrase and they suck at math and 2. why wouldn't the phrase be "as easy as addition". I propose we never use this phrase again until someone can give an explanation for it. Dropping it from our speech should be a piece of cake...
