    Haha, LOL, I totally get it, but can someone explain it to my friend? He doesn’t get it.

      The Donner party were a group on the Oregon trail that got stuck on a mountain pass in the winter and resorted to cannibalism to survive. The Dollup did a really good podcast episode about it.

      Also the cafe in the University of Colorado UMC is named “The Alfred Packer Gill”. Alfred Packer was a similar famed cannibal.

      …i get why it’s funny (the donner party infamously resorted to cannibalism) but i don’t get how it’s ironic…
