Random: Tubular Brie

[zrath]

As seen in the cheese section of my local Trader Joe's:

TUBULAR BRIE

"New shape! Perfect for crackers or on its own!"

On n'arrète pas le progrés...

(Literal: "One can't stop progress." - Contextual: "What will they think of next?")

My "carpool buddy" Dave says his french wife tells him that her friends at home think what we call "cheese" in the US is a joke.
Especially stuff like

They sent samples over to France, and got ROFL back. On the other hand, samples of "Slim Jims" generated "Send More _NOW_!!!" requests. *chuckle*
