Why is there such a poor selection of potato chips (crisps) available in North America compared to the UK?
Q. The UK must be the potato chip capital of the world! Every combination of flavour and texture is available. And the best that's available in North America? Lays. Boring, artificial tasting with a limited range of flavours. However, if you've never been outside of North America you wouldn't know what you're missing.

A. I had no idea! I guess the companies which exist in Britain or Europe don't operate here, frito-lay and others must have a virtual monopoly over the North American chip trade. The bastards.

What are the names of the two glaciers that covered much of North America during the Pleistocene?
Q. What are the names of the two glaciers that covered much of North America during the Pleistocene? And which of the two was the larger glacier?
Asked by lamae85 - Sun Dec 3 18:08:56 2006 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I'm having difficulty finding these names. I seem to recall from Glacial Geology a Laurentide Ice Sheet and a Cordilleran Ice Sheet, however (both were still retreating when I was in grad school). The Laurentide sheet (if that was it's name!) was much the larger, covering much of North America, down to the Ohio River (across it, in some cases). The Cordilleran sheet (western NA) was amplified by numberous mountain or Alpine glaciers.
