But... all White Castles got five holes in them.  I don't think you
could drive as far on them as you could on, say, Nathan's Hot Dog Nuggets.

The worst part is that sometimes the onion rings after you've swallowed it.

And then pooped it out.

A "gore" is the section of a sphere made by the intersection of two
Great Circles, i.e. one of the fat-toothpick-shaped things they put
next to each other to make world maps in the sixties.

In Minnesota, they're too lazy to slice the onion crosswise to make rings,
so they just slice it along lines of longitude to make onion slivers,
as in onion gores, and they call 'em "onion chips".  White Castle is
weird!  But only in Minnesota.
