Reference excerpt

The Tripe Marketing Board is a UK-based online publication which seeks to promote the consumption of tripe through the use of humour. The Los Angeles Times has described the group as an "internet and publishing phenomenon that may or may not be completely serious". It parodies defunct government organisations such as the milk and potato marketing boards.

History The group came to prominence in 2012 when it managed to persuade a number of serious media outlets that it was a real entity. The Mirror interviewed a tripe seller in Blackburn about the attempt to improve the public perception of tripe. Reporters at The Times newspaper investigated the board a number of days later, concluding that it was a 'very funny spoof'. The Lancashire Life website explained that the Tripe Marketing Board had been created by the authors of a humorous guide called Forgotten Lancashire and Parts of Cheshire and the Wirral by Dr Derek J. Ripley, and had then been taken seriously by journalists. It advocates the celebration of World Tripe Day on 24 October because in 1662 Samuel Pepys wrote on that day, "So home and dined there with my wife upon a most excellent dish of tripes of my own directing."

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Tripe Marketing Board

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Tripe Marketing Board claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Tripe Marketing Board before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Tripe Marketing Board ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Tripe Marketing Board

In research: Tripe Marketing Board appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Tripe Marketing Board in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Tripe Marketing Board is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics British comedy websites, Offal, Online publishing, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Tripe Marketing Board outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
