Ärende: Maple Leaf 365
======================
 JW> Maple Leaf is huge and has bought out almost all of its competitors,
 JW> keeping the brand names intact.

I was unaware.

 JW> Hygrade    (cheap junky brand)

You're being kind. Nastyass sausages.

 JW> Tenderflake(lard makers)

You didn't have to elaborate - bear in mind whom you're
talking to [g].

 JW> By coincidence my mom went to university with both the Schneider
 JW> heiress (who came to school in a chauffeur driven Rolls Royce)

I went to school with the Body by Fisher heiress, who indeed had
a sleek and delightful body and a face that could have launched a
thousand ships. Unfortunately, she didn't think she measured up
and committed suicide.

Also the Tootsie Roll heiress, who, though less superb, was much
better adjusted and continues on being wealthy and influential.

And the Strauss Department Stores heiress, whom I was friends with
and might have had high hopes for if I'd had any sense.

And various others, whose wealth was such that "heiress" was not
a meaningful term any more. My university lost 22 billion dollars
this quarter, and the level of hurt is not hugely significant,
thanks in part to these people, of whom I am clearly not in the
same league, despite having been in the same class.

 JW> Harumph! Are you trying to imply something here?

Only that we're not what we once were.

Edited to add: also the Almond Roca heiress, who had high hopes
for me, but we all know bits of what happened to that. Pity I
tossed all the Roca recipes, because a certain person who shall
remain nameless put it as a condition of our friendship that I
purge all Rocaness from my life. In the last year I have eaten
a lot of Almond Roca.
