Why would anyone with a certain kind of rich in their mind buy Fanta and not malt liquor? When 13% of the population buys 28% of the malt liquor, I gotta go with malt liquor.

Note: Facts are not racist. I also happen to know that five US states (Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey) plus Chicago and Detroit account for 68% of all pierogies sold in the country. I love fried pierogies, as opposed to boiled, by the way. The Ukrainian church next to my friend's house made the best fried pierogies. I thought Boz would value the pierogie trivia.

Note: I am guilty of a certain kind of rich on occasion. During the pandemic, I bought a couple of pairs of Italian shoes to wear to Las Vegas but haven't yet done so. I am trying to impress the masses with my bourgeoisie obviousness.
It’s funny, when I was in the Harrisburg area, next to no restaurants sold Pierogies other than some Polish places in Steelton. How’s that for a Central PA reference? But when I opened further East toward Philadelphia they were on a few menus so I added them. But yea, I deep fried them and sold them with a side of sour cream. Not for me personally but we sold a lot of them over the years. Right up there with deep fried pickles in stuff I never thought would be popular but helped fund my early retirement.

However I was in a 98% white area so I never had to get creative with ways to cook bananas and offer grape soda. That said I did get a few requests occasionally for a Cheesesteak with salt, pepper, ketchup which they are known to desecrate them with.
I'm old fashioned with cheesesteaks. No mayo. Definitely no ketchup. That is a desecration. Steelton was actually a rugged place. Not as bad as Green Street in Harrisburg (headline said "To Live on Green Street is to Live in Fear"). But that had to do with our serial killer living across the street more than anything.
