It’s from Antony and Cleopatra by Shakespeare. It means one’s younger, naive years.

All different brands/types of foodstuffs are made in the same place and by putting different labels and prices on, we’ve all been convinced that the taste etc is different.

Not sure the banality, but we were formulating a conspiracy theory down the pub that involved an ice lolly manufacturer called Gari Gari Kun trying to replace all meals with their ice lolly flavours (they do weird ones like Napolitan spaghetti (ketchup and spaghetti) and corn soup). This somehow moved onto the company branching out into space food as it would be easy to keep the lollies cold in space. Someone then pointed out how similar Gari Gari sounds to Yuri Gagarin and we all had a Keanu Reeves “Woah” moment.

Lots of stuff is though, plenty of supermarket own brand stuff is the same between different shops but just with different labels or boxes.

Baked beans was the one I heard - there’s literally two factories, one does Heinz and one does everything else, just with different amounts of sauce-to-bean depending on how cheap they are.

Hummus also pretty much all comes from a small number of factories no matter what it’s branded as. And Mr Kipling make puddings for other retailers too:

Wow, I had no idea! But then again, I have a very poor sense of hummus

Lots of manufacturers supply similar products to multiple retailers but they’re not necessarily made to the same specification (i don’t know that none are, just that not all are)

Just been through St Pancras again. There was a man in ordinary clothes playing some jazz on the piano.

Gave him a look that let him know that I’m onto them.
