7 Deadly Sins of Buffalo
If the seven deadly sins were actually deadly, not many of us would be around to read this.

Ranchment
RANCH with wings? Not bleu cheese? SINNER.

Hot Chickenism
They're "wings".
Just "WINGS".
Not "Buffalo wings", not "hot wings", not "chicken wings".
JUST WINGS.

Anti-Vinegaritism
What's that? You don't accept malt vinegar as a french fry condiment?
Heathen.

HyPOPcrisy
It's ok if you THINK "soda", just don't SAY "soda".
Hypocrisy at its finest.

Regionalism
We're "Western New York". It's its own thing.
