I was in a grocery store tonight, looking for snacks, because, hey it's Friday, and that means snack time. I hit the aisle with assorted crackers and such, and I see these Cheez-It Twisters. that wasn't what I was craving, but I loked in their direction long enough to notice one of the boxes says it has Cool Ranch and Cheddar, and below that it says, "two Flavors" and "twice the taste" or something like that.
Well, OK, that's fine. However, sitting right next to it is a box that promises "Cheddar and More Cheddar", but it also promises two flavors and more taste, or whatever. How does that work? If you've just doubled up on the cheese, that isn't giving you two separate flavors, it's just providing a stronger taste of the one flavor. Maybe they were different types of cheddar? But the box didn't make any mention of that, so what are they trying to pull?
The poor consumer, purchasing a box of the product expecting two different tastes, and just getting cheddar. . . and more cheddar. Oh, the woe, the anguish! Truly, theirs will be a world of misery and suffering, as dark clouds spread from horizon to horizon, none of the sun's warming rays reaching their skin, leaving them cold and desolate on the inside. Such a shame, such a shame.

Actually, a little known fact. More Cheddar is actually a light, flavorfull cheese from the More region of France. It's particularly valued as a flavoring agent and combined with things like burgers, fries and other restaurant foods.
A conundrum indeed.
seangreyson: Really? You're not pulling my leg? I guess that would explain why "More Cheddar" was in a different color from "Cheddar".
sallyp: Turns out it's not a conundrumm after all. Seangreyson has revealed that there are in fact two flavors involved. The sun shines brightly again!
Actually I was just trying to be snarky. :)
But it sounds plausible doesn't it.
seangreyson: It sounded possible to me. Granted, I don't know much about cheese, but I could see there being a special French variety of cheddar. They're culinary geniuses, after all.
