    why do they spell it like that? The truth may shock you.

    Onion? ONION!? what a farce, we have been conditioned to accept onion as the proper spelling when funyuns exist.
    Why is it a funyun? why not a funoin?

    Yeah, the government is covering up the true spelling. It's actually unyun. Now you know.
    Please educate yourselves.

    do you ever think about the fact that "union" can also be pronounced the same as "onion"? really makes you think

    On a tangent, this reminds me of unionize (workers rights) and unionize (chemistry), spelled exactly the same but pronounced differently.

    But yes I am all for the advent of unyuns

    omg this reminds me of this workplace safety thing I had had to take once where there was a question about what to do in the event of something to do with radioactive material. I assumed it meant the radioactivity was outside, so I said "shelter in place", and got it wrong because apparently in this hypothetical scenario the radioactive waste got inside, and I was meant to leave the premises. I was talking to my friend about it, who responded with "can't have people gather, they'll unionize!"
