It may not seem like the most important, life altering question in the world - but it is one that has continued to spark heated debates here at the Light FM studios.
The question I ask you is - "Are they called Chucks or Cons?"
These iconic sneakers mass-produced by Converse, known for their Chuck Taylor design and symbol, often are the centre of an on-going debate here between numerous presenters here at Light FM.
I, myself, own a few pairs of Chucks, as do Cam Want (Greenroom) and Cassie Nichols (The Buzz). You would assume those who wear these shoes on a daily basis know what they are called... but according to Luke Holt (The Morning Wake-Up) & Leroy Brown (Lunchbox Requests) - two gentlemen who DO NOT wear these shoes - they are called "Cons".
Here is a picture of a pair of Chucks I own...that have the name literally all over them:
Hmmm...I wonder why it doesn't say "I Love My Cons"...
Out of curiousity - and the desire to prove to Luke Holt that I'm right - I looked up "Cons" in Google Image and this is what came up:
Not quite the same shoe is it?
Well I think I've proven my point. The choice is up to you in the end.
Chucks or Cons?
