[Dr. Sivana]

Years ago, I was at a Hewlett-Packard training session and at lunch our hosts were serving sandwiches, chips and bottled drinks. Prominent among the selection of drinks was a wide variety of Snapple iced teas. It was the early '90s, and in those days Snapple seemed to have dozens of different flavors of iced tea. The fellow in front of me, upon being offered a flavored Snapple, angrily retorted, "No! I don't want a Cheese Snapple!"

I loved the line, because it was making fun of the crazy array of Snapple flavors, but also the still continuing trend of having cheese versions of EVERYthing. So for years, I had a habit of jokingly saying " ... with cheese" at unexpected times. It was a running joke.

Now I realize that the fellow was simply being prescient. There really IS cheese tea.

People put milk in their hot tea so guess whipped cream cheese goes down that same path.
