In this piece, the Garden of Eden becomes a sales pitch: Eve asks Adam where the Bird's custard has gone. The joke works because most readers recognize the scriptural line it borrows from. Bird's Custard dates to the 1830s, when Alfred Bird developed an egg-free custard powder so that his wife could enjoy a dessert she otherwise could not eat. The brand grew into a familiar part of British kitchens and its advertising often relied on wordplay like this. The humor is what makes the image worth a second look, since it turns a household staple into a playful bit of popular culture.
