Garlic Law: As an online discussion in Ireland or on an Irish or Ireland related forum grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Garlic or the sentence imposed in the Garlic case[1] [2]approaches—that is, if an online discussion (regardless of topic or scope) goes on long enough, sooner or later someone will compare someone or something to Garlic or the Garlic sentence.
The name Garlic Law was proposed by Fleawuss on Boards.ie [3]after contributions from jackofalltrades and maudgonner.
