I am from New Zealand, the home of Lord Of The Rings movies, Flight Of The Conchords, people who talk really fast and Sir Edmund Hillary....if you're not from New Zealand you'd be forgiven for thinking that we have it all; quirky ideas, ingenuity as well as amazing hills and Hutt valleys.....but the truth is, we've had to be patient for some things...
When I was a kid, movies would start screening here about 6 months after they were initially released in the U.S. - of course back then you had no idea certain movies were even being made because there was no internet, no spoilers - in fact the only way you could've had the ending of 'The Empire Strikes back' spoilt for you - is if a homing pigeon dropped in a note to tell you that Vader is Luke's dad..
Even in the present day we've had to wait for stuff, only last week here in New Zealand we got our version of the 'Next Top Model'. 'New Zealand's Next Top Model' is Tyra Banks-less but the girls seem fun, bubbly and a tad naive - and I'm sure the winner will be the next person modelling tops here in NZ as the show's name promises.
Yep, we've been a patient nation - so you can only imagine my near-orgasmic like surprise when I saw a new product advertised on Sunday night on TV....new to us....not new to the rest of the world....Ladies and Gentlemen MR. CHEESE IS HERE!!!!!
Mr Cheese is cheese in a can, much like whipped cream in a can - that's right AEROSOL CHEESE!....One word 'FIIIIIINALLY'.
How many times in my life have I been at dinner parties where cheese platters have been brought out and I've had to politely wince my way through eating a slice of Camembert....Eeeeeew! Now there is Mr. Cheese...I can literally spray the cheese of my choice (Mr. Cheese comes in two flavours: tasty and mild) onto a cracker.
All of this is very exciting, and it's clearly excitement that we've been denied for many years in this country, the Mr. Cheese TV commercial is glorious and can be found on the net - it features a sexy-girl on roller skates (no, we're not up to roller-blades in NZ yet), spraying the cheese onto the foods of everyone she passes - let's see you do that with a kilo of Edam! And as if that's not enough, there are two guys playing chess with the cans of Mr. Cheese (the cans are red or yellow depending on the flavour) I don't know how exactly they are deciphering between rooks, kings, queens and pawns - but who cares they are having fun and shit, so am I - Mr. Cheese is here!!!
Having aerosol cheese really sends New Zealand flying up the ranks of developed nations and maybe even higher when you discover that Mr. Cheese does not require refrigeration - that's right - forget about the round-trip back to the fridge, you can leave Mr. Cheese at room temperature, next to the remote control or even leave it lying in direct sunlight - now that's convenience!
So there we go - patience pays off and next week the Sega master System is released in stores here....

I'd like to see gravy in a can for the Sunday roast. Instead of lifting the slightly-too-heavy-for-one-hand gravy boat off its dish under fear of soiling the table cloth with a shakey pour, you could just spray the gravy directly onto your potatoes.
