It’s amazing how much of everyday life I didn’t question for years – like what “wi-fi” really means, where we get paprika from, and what ASDA actually stands for

And opening my fridge this afternoon, another banal mystery confronted me. What’s that squidgy black mat at the bottom of raspberry trays for, and why isn’t it in the bottom of my strawberry tray?

It seems I’m not alone. Posting to , Redditor  asked about the addition, wondering why you “never find this in packages of blueberries or strawberries”.
