Subject: The Greg Rusedski of Cheese
To whom it may concern;
I am confused. Yesterday, I purchased a block of Sainsbury’s Taste The Difference Canadian Vintage Cheddar from your store in Sale, Cheshire – and a very fine cheese it is, too, I must say. However, upon turning the pack over to check the nutrition information, I noticed that the packaging had a note indicating that the product was “Produced in the UK for Sainsbury’s stores”. Very strange. Normally, I would not allow myself to be vexed by such things, but I cannot help but find myself intruiged as to how a cheese which clearly claims to be Canadian could be actually be produced in the UK – is it from Canada? Is it British? Does it exist in some sort of bizarre quantum superposition of states with respect to its place of origin? Perhaps you could shed some light on the matter of this strange, dual-nationality cheese for me.
Yours, etc;

I’ll let you know if I get a response.
Not with that subject line you won’t – sounds utterly spamtastic to me 🙂
I’ve had a response asking me for the barcode(!) of the cheese. I’ve replied, supplying the information. I await further elucidation.
I love it when people blog about mundane places I have been to…
I’ve been to Sainsbury’s in Sale
i’ve been asked to inform you it has nothing to do with bizarre quantum superposition of states but more than likely it would be the result of quantum entanglement over large distances (no, before you ask, i don’t understand what i just wrote 😉
