Open Source Smoothie
Open source software is good, so good it’s catching. After attending the local supermarket to purchase some food rations for the week ahead, I sat cracked open a carton of mangoes and passion fruits innocent smoothie. Once I’d satisfied my initial thirst I decided to have a read of the carton, they usually put some pretty funny stuff on them.
Lo and behold, the mantra of open source has reached the foodstuffs market.
The full text reads:
You might wonder why we’ve messed about with the front of this carton. Well, it all started when you told us some stuff. We asked you what you thought of this recipe and we got some interesting responses. There was a general feeling that it might be a bit too sharp, and could do with an extra slice of mango.
So off we went to the kitchen, to see if we could make it a little better. And after some blending and crushing, we are proud to present the result. An improved recipe, designed to your exact specifications. A kind of open source smoothie, without the complicated computer bits. We hope you enjoy it.
It made me laugh and I though it was worth a mention.
