Pascal does guacamole
An early use of pascalization in the United States was to treat guacamole. It did not change the guacamole's taste, texture, or color, but the shelf life of the product increased to thirty days, from three days without the treatment. Beats the triangle.

Applying immense pressure to the avocados is a skill that Mexican women perfected long before the Conquest and long before a Coanda-like Frenchie like Blaise Pascal tried to grab the credit.
A quick look at the etymology of ''avocado'' makes this clear:
The word 'avocado' comes from the Nahuatl word ahuacatl ('testicle', a reference to the shape of the fruit).
Hmmm... I'm with Blaise on this. He could baise, and he could squeeze an avocado better than those mujeres.
Face it, Rot. It's Pascal's guacamole, and that's that.
Blaise was a fruit de merde?
He also invented the calculator, but those idiots at the time didn't appreciate it:
Pascal began to work on his calculator in 1642, when he was only 19 years old. ... By 1652 Pascal claimed to have produced some fifty prototypes and sold just over a dozen machines, but the cost and complexity of the Pascaline—combined with the fact that it could only add and subtract, and the latter with difficulty—was a barrier to further sales, and production ceased in that year.
Yeah, sure. And his name was really Susan or something.
Try Pascal's droodle.
How about some bacon guacamole with fried bananas at El Scorpion? I'll pick the beer, you pick the tab. Fair is fair.
The BLAT is the best sandwich in existence.
