You must have misheard, I was actually just a mere substitute margerine spreader for their catering department.

I never liked that substitute margarine. Especially ’ I Can’t Believe It’s Not Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil’

I heard that the people that made that hired the same people that wrote the jingle “You’ll never put a better bit o’ butter on your knife”.
After six weeks of trying to make ‘I Can’t Believe It’s Not Hydrogentaed Vegetable Oil’ to scan when set to music, any music, at all, the jingle people were said to have “hastily scribbled notes to their families and eagerly removed their own brains by means of bullet-based weaponry”.
Not before, of course, writing the entire lyrics for the latest Robbie Williams album.

I would have thought they could have got it to scan quite nicely by using a Birmingham accent? Then you could just blur it all into one word and make it a bit shorter by removing the consonants. Although maybe they had already reached that conclusion before they decided on such drastic measures.
