"mrs white had intended to buy heinz, but the shop only had hp"

it was while i was researching for my baked beans testing that i found this. it's very sad. some people can take these things far too seriously. though i suspect there is more to this story than over-developed brand loyalty.

it reminds me of a small news item from quite a long time ago. might even have been ten years' ago. about a man who beat up his parents because they couldn't answer the questions in his specially-devised claudia schiffer quiz. he was obsessed with her, you see. i cut the article out of the paper, so if i ever find it i'll share it with you.
