Here’s a sentence that someone wrote that will make your blood boil: “We call this a hand salad because lettuce and dip just doesn’t sound like nearly as much fun.” That sentence exists on Bon Appetit, referring to a piece of romaine lettuce being dipped into yogurt lemon dressing as a snack fit for a rabbit. It’s the most pretentious description for such a common snack ever written.
This idiocy deserves being mocked, so fortunately Twitter stepped right to the plate:
It's called a "hand salad" but let's not focus on that https://t.co/fRTxgR79cY pic.twitter.com/XWY0mbAqF4

Thank you, Twitter, for ensuring that the “hand salad” died before it could ever have life.
