Isn’t it amazing, he asked of the small tabby cat sitting on the kitchen chair opposite, how the design – the variation in size, shape, breadth and depth of a breakfast cereal bowl can affect both the flavour and the texture of Oatso Simple?
We have used the:
Same quantity as at home.
Same amount of milk as at home.
Same Microwave power setting and same amount of time.
And yet, because the bowl is a completely different shape, we are presented with a product that tastes so different – and where the texture is unlike that which is routinely produced at home.
Small tabby cat nods, enthusiastically.
You are wise beyond your years (ears?) oh small tabby cat.
We would do well to listen to you and your kind more often.
Except you don’t actually do much speaking, do you?
Small tabby cat shakes head, dolefully.
B.
I think the texture/taste change may be down to the drugs you are obviously pouring into your breakfast 🙂
I think small tabby cat would like to eat the Oatso Simple.
You sound like my mum, her wine has to poured into the RIGHT wine glass or it doesn’t taste the same.
I mean… what’s wrong with a jam jar????
Blame physics. Thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, whatever you wants, but trust me: physics are always to blame somewhere.
(Did I already told you about the awful pain of having to take 10+ hours of physics a week in order to have the doubtful privilege of also taking 12+ hours of maths a week and prepare for bloody entrance exams? Did I?)
i wish my cats were as grave. they just jump all over things/everyone/the world and are commonly referred to as ‘that pair of hooligians’
‘Tis physics, indeed. Don’t the instructions on the box note that variations in the geometry of the container will affect the level and timing of the excitation, and hence the dielectic heating of the polarized molecules within? From the obserrved nots, obviously, the cat understands.
Perhaps the cat is named Schrodinger?
Amy, Amy, Amy… Tsk. I don’t do drugs. Well, except for mainlining adrenaline when I’m competing. Just high on life dear. And too little sleep, of course.
Lizsara: You could be right. Probably are. But it’s not getting any! I’d wrestle it to the ground first, oh yes.
Trixie: This is going to come to you as a shock so you’d better sit down. I am not your mum. As for sounding like her? I think you’d better bend over so I can smack your bottom. 🙂
Citronella: You’re right of course. Pragmatic straight away. And no you didn’t. Wanna vent? 🙂
Sungirltan: I think if this were my cat it would be as badly behaved as most are. But it isn’t mine. In fact it doesn’t even belong to the house – though it does live here. Its good manners are what allows it to continue living here. That and it knows where the bodies are buried. 🙂
Bulldog: You’da thunk it, but no, they don’t. Perhaps I should stop using a one-inch deep Petrie dish the size of a large frying pan? Or perhaps it’s The Cat That Walked Through Walls (Heinlein)?
Y’ever noticed how tea doesn’t taste the same in china mug to what it does in a pot mug? I have mine from a china mug 🙂
Hmm it’s a pity our domestic carnivore companions can’t share with us their insight into breakfast questions and so much more besides. But then I suppose it is also a blessing!
