spread or paste

Dwarven Sen · 03-13-2002, 10:44 AM

Hello I have been requested to find out whether people are spread people or paste folk. My arguement: Paste is correct because it is a description of the texture whereas spread is what you do with the paste. Chocolate paste sounds alot better than chocolate spread but peanut butter rules all

What ever looks better.

Ah..The classic spread-paste debate. You know your asking for a flame war on this thread.?

I would say that paste and spread are describing two different consistencies. So some things should be called paste and somethings called spread respective to their consistency.

Don't forget we who don't care.

I've never heard of this one! Up here we argue about whether you say Coke, Pop, or Soda. Ummmm....I don't thing I've ever heard paste, that means I must say spread. Here's another hot topic: Are fruitloops sugared, or frosted? I say they're sugar frosted

Well, I just go with whatever it says on the jar.

What's the problem?

Did I miss something?

Well, paste is a lot pastier, but on the other hand, spread, you can spread it, y'know, and that's cool . . .

Paste makes me think of glue, so I'll have to go with spread.
