OK, I know we covered this topic in the past, but it just won't go away.

Food products that have advertising icons inviting you to eat them sort of spoils my desire to consume. This evening I ate a microwave chicken patty. I know, I know, so I'm no gourmet chef. Anyway, as I remove the frozen meat-like disc from the plastic bag I notice a little cartoon on the back of the receptacle. It is a chicken patty with arms and gloved hands, legs and feet with sneakers, a happy face and a duck-billed hat (very close to the attached illo) with the caption, "Little Redi." He has a word balloon above his head proclaiming, "I'm Redi!" To eat, probably.

Now stop me if I'm on the wrong track here, but in the natural world do chicken patties come up and personally invite you to consume them in a cheerful and happy manner?

Well, it tasted pretty good as far these types of foodstuffs go. It will probably be better next time when I try it with Marmite. Still, I enjoy eating something that isn't so beta and willing to surrender its existence for my tastebuds.
