Try this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_pattern

On the left we have an image produced by a Turing pattern generator, on the right the current whatsthisthen object. They have their similarities.

Nope and interesting.....but it is a man made "product" used extensively, most people could have and example of it.

Hint: there is also a reason for the "line" on the right side of the image.

[mickthemaverick]

Reconstituted loo paper?

[NewcastleFalcon]

I have found it Alasdair if you would like to keep it going for others to find, I will summarise in a Falcon unfathomable cryptic answer.

Stork!

Correct....

The foil use in packaging, such a butter/marge tubs etc, the line being the adhesive....allows for machine manipulation (grip) etc

Look out for the "random worms" on yoghurt pot lids too.

Margarine!
I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!

And therein lies a tale.

Spoiler: show

I always have bought proper butter, but having a grandson living with me who had problems spreading the butter (I microwave it to soften it), I bought some 'I Can't Believe It's Not Butter'.
Grandson left to live with his girlfriend, I made a sandwich with ICBINB to use it up and thought the ham was off, but no, it was the grease. Horrible
Put the tub out for the hedgehogs/squirrels/birds.
Disgusterous.

That very good Mick, and again, I probably wouldn't have got that myself had someone put the same picture up. I dont think google image search or bing image search comes up with the right answer from that picture, so didnt expect a quick solving without further clues. You must know your Subaru's

Yes its a Subaru 360 Kei Car. The first mass production vehicle from Subaru between 1958 and 1971 according to wiki with 392,000 being produced.
