No more clay! What should we actually call the materials? (79 Viewers)

[pgup]

Ok, everyone calls everything clay, but nothing contains any actual clay at this point. Not even "real clay" chips apparently? Is this true?

So what could we call all the different categories if we wanted to accurately describe them?

Clay = Plastic
China Clay = Plastic Composite
Real Clay = ???

Or should I just give up and roll with clay clay clay clay?

Clay = Plastic

Just because plastic chip marketers try to deceive the chip buyer doesn’t mean I need to subscribe to it.

Exactly! So what do we call the different kinds of chips in an honest non-deceiving way?

Like a Supreme Court justice once said about pornography: I can’t define clay, but I know it when I see it.

You mean like Paulson pointing out their own chips are plastic?

Just roll with what you like. But if what you like is injection molded (as opposed to compression molded) then you better not call it clay in front of PCFers.
