"In the UK in 1981, Hedgehog Foods Ltd decided, as a joke, to produce Hedgehog flavoured crisps (potato chips). To everyone's surprise, the crisps were a huge success.

Hedgehog flavoured crisps were actually flavoured with pork fat and no hedgehogs were used in the manufacturing process. Consequently, it wasn't long before Hedgehog Foods Ltd was in court (1982), up against the Office of Fair Trading, on a charge of false advertising.

Bizarrely, a settlement was finally reached when Mr Lewis, of Hedgehog Foods, interviewed gypsies who actually did eat baked hedgehogs, to ascertain the flavour of hedgehogs. Mr Lewis then commissioned a flavourings firm to duplicate the flavour as closely as possible and changed the labels from "hedgehog flavoured" to "hedgehog flavour" and all interests were satisfied!"

Shows how memory is unreliable. I coulda sworn it was Walkers. Hedgehog Foods Ltd is much more appropriate though. I vaguely remember them as being sausagey with a hint of vinegar, but that could be dodgy memory too. I mean, sausages would taste of hedgehogs if you put hedgehogs in them. Not much eating on a hedgehog I'd imagine...

That's why these are "flavour" and not "flavoured" and "all interests were satisfied!"

Their logo resembled a pringle for some time

And then the Americans complained they could not find their brand in European supermarkets, and it became Lay's.

Morrissey would not approve of hedgehog flavoured crisps. Nor the other one.

Yes, you will absolutely NOT make it as a successful musician until you use a Mac. If you a create a masterpiece on a PC, studio pros can't even hear it until it's filtered through a Mac audio interface.

if you can't afford a Mac...sorry. You have failed.

Professionals mostly use Macs? Should I go Windows or Mac?
