Title: The 5-Second Rule, Chinese Take-Out, Salmonella Outbreak
Author/Artist: pompi
Characters: America, Canada, China
Rating: G
Warnings: None... unless doodle quality art and bad handwriting burns the eyes. D'8
Summary: Random gag comic. America is an idiot when it comes to food... and soon suffers the consequences. The last two 4-koma are based off the recent peanut recall in the U.S.

_{Some news references from Google, Yahoo!, and New York Times.}


Speech bubbles are read left to right, but the panels are still read going down, like a 4-koma. ^^;; I'm sorry if my handwriting is difficult to read. If you want me to decipher, let me know. D8

Edit: I fixed it to 5-second rule. But it was originally the 3-second rule. I guess there are variations? Original image. I'm not sure if other countries have the 5-second rule (which is when you drop food, it's still okay to eat if you pick it up before five seconds pass). America pays more attention to the burger on the floor than to the apologizing Canada. Poor Canada. Real Chinese food and American-Chinese food are completely different (in my opinion). I have observed that most Americans prefer the American-Chinese food (mostly oily stir-fried food, such as sweet and sour pork, beef and broccoli, orange chicken, etc.). When they eat real Chinese food (if they ever), they're generally disappointed in the neutral/milder/healthier(?) taste. XD

There's a peanut recall in the U.S. due to a salmonella outbreak. A peanut plant in Georgia is said to be responsible. The plant sent peanuts to Canada, but upon inspection, Canada said that the peanuts were not suitable for consumption and sent them back to be destroyed. Yet here we are... eating contaminated peanuts.

asdfghjk; The art quality clearly gets worse as we go down. Apologizes. I needed to get these out before I forgot. I'm not used to doing things based off current events. D8
