Reply to TIL about the void that forms under certain trees when it snows, called tree wells. The upper branches of the tree prevents snow from falling below it, creating a pocket that is a serious peril for skiers & snow boarders. Several die every year from falling head first into these voids. by Roguecop

I've never been skiing or snowboarding before. I've never even seen real snow in my life. But I would have thought it was common sense that you stay away from trees because they hurt when you crash into them anyway. This tree well thing just gives another reason to stay away from them

>Not trying to be a dick or anything just showing that the term "cornichon" has been used in Australia at one of the largest supermarkets in the country

True, but the original claim that started this conversation was that Aussies use this name "often." I've never heard the word out loud before and hadn't even read it until today.

It only comes up if you search it through the google method you posted though. If you just go onto woolworths site and search cornichons it yields zero results. The probably sold it once upon a time but have since deleted it. Probably because no one wanted to pay cornichon prices for pickles
