Did you learn something new today?

[Miss Chicken]

I have always thought that if you learn something new each day than the day isn't wasted. So I would like people to share with me something they learnt each day - it can be a small piece of trivia, it can be a skill you have just acquired etc etc

My something new today is

I learnt that at Gregs when they make a sandwich they put all the meat to one side of the sandwich and face it to the front of the display cabinet to make it look full of chicken or whatever is supposed to be in it, but when you buy it and start to eat it the other half of the sandwich is completely empty.

Yeah I bought some cheese & crackers like that. You open the package, and take the cracker apart, and see the industrial chemical cheese product is just spread around the edges with nothing in the center. Not like the industrial chemical cheese products of old!
