ventaI just went up to the staffroom for my morning tea and evil-on-toast, and was unexpectedly scared by the bread's packaging.
Robertson's thin-sliced white bread has on it a two colour logo, featuring a cheerfully-aspected stick-figure, and the motto "BREAD IS GOOD FOR YOU" in large, blocky letters.
This resonates in my brain with someone's post-apocalyptic futuristic vision, in which information is presented to the people in very simple, black-and-white terms... Can anyone tell me what the reference is ? Is it 1984 ?
Anyway, it scared me. I had the brown bread, which made no such claims.
