Yeah…
Having previously mentioned the great divide between these two groups, it is usually the gullible who don’t understand when they are being presented with satire (rather than the skeptical), so it is we - the skeptical - who readily chuckle at satire - all the while realizing that in order for something (ie. humor) to be funny, there must be at least a kernel (though often: a bushel) of truth found within it.

I suspect it depends on the side you choose…
Someone is going to choose mashed potatoes and gravy, whereas someone else is going to completely ignore that option and go for the green beans.
Some are completely disingenuous, and – as pretty much an in-your-face type of thing – will inevitably demand extra crispy.

Suddenly I am craving extra crispy mashed potatoes with a side of extra crispy green beans.
