Spot the Difference

I know I blogged about birthdays not long ago. But unfortunately I am a bit overcome by seeing the display of patriotically coloured foods in my local Plus under the banner of "60 Jahre Deutschland" - tri-coloured taglietelle in black (presumably squid ink), red and gold was one of the more restrained choices on offer.

Even in my home country there's no escape from the jubilee jamboree. I can just imagine long discussions about the importance of reminding customers of our heritage, our roots, our core values, particularly in these difficult times...

But can anyone tell me the difference between this and this? And the answer's not 15 years!
