If It's French...

France looks into "magic cheese" case in South America

PARIS (Reuters) - France is investigating what it says is a scam mounted by a French woman who sold thousands of Chileans kits to make "magic cheese" for French beauty products, an official said on Tuesday.


Reminds me so much of an episode of I Love Lucy.  I couldn't find a youtube of it, but if you've watched the shows, you're sure to remember the one I'm talking about.

Lucy and Ethel and high fashion in Paris. They wear burlap sacks as dresses to a local cafe.  Because they are seen in the "trendiest" place around, these suddenly become the rage.

Seems as if this still applies.  Beats me why this is so, but it does make me laugh.

1  i bought Mrs. SOG the complete series on DVD for Christmas, all 197 or so episodes, we haven't gotten to that one yet, but it's one of the many that I have never seen.  i thought we'd seen them all, but apparently we've barely scratched the surface of that comic genius.  one of the few that makes me laugh out loud.

2 Gregor it's one of the funniest ones, but comes near the end of the series.  Of course Lucy was comic genius indeed.  I've seen them so many time, I could recite dialog along with them sometimes.  *grin*
