The programme then discovered that many people had little idea what the product was. Scott’s surprise turned the condiment into the day’s campaign, with talk of branding, promotion and the strange status of cheese designed to come from a bottle or tube.

Basshunter’s festive material was compared with much harder dance interpretations of Christmas tunes. The contrast gave the show another way to take something familiar and push it toward absurdity, much as a normal portion of chips had been transformed by one unrequested squeeze of cheese.
