Not my finest hour: Misreading a product label

I had finished some store-bought soup and thought to myself, “That was a pretty good soup. What brand was it? I’ll buy it again.”

I thought to myself, “That’s a strange name for a soup company.”

In 2003, he began a Web site known as The Old New Thing which has grown in popularity far beyond his wildest imagination, a development which still gives him the heebie-jeebies. The Web site spawned a book, coincidentally also titled The Old New Thing (Addison Wesley 2007). He occasionally appears on the Windows Dev Docs Twitter account to tell stories which convey no useful information.
