Default Cream Cheese Glider

In article . com, Ken
Kochanski (KK) writes
I spent some time with relatives in the DC area over Xmas ... and was
amused to find a 'sailplane' adorning the lid of Panera Cream Cheese
... it seems like a strange connection ... anybody have a clue? Also,
the 'design' is a strange conglomeration of wood/glass pieces/parts
that don't seem exactly engineered around the CG ... maybe Mark
Maughmer would have some insight. :-)

Dunno about the Cream cheese glider, but there is such a thing as a
sugar glider.

The Sugar Glider (Petaurus breviceps), sometimes called the Flying
Sugar, is a small gliding possum native to eastern and northern mainland
Australia, New Guinea, and the Bismarck Archipelago, and introduced to
Tasmania.

That came from Wikipedia.
