In stars, however, helium is also created directly from hydrogen atoms. So it would have been enough to just start out with hydrogen in the early universe. Given enough time, all the other elements would have been created inside these originally hydrogen-only stars. To make elements heavier than helium some of the elements created by hydrogen, will have to fuse subsequentially. And in order to make elements heavier than iron, a {{w|supernova}} explosion is needed. But in either case it is still products of hydrogen that fuse together. | In stars, however, helium is also created directly from hydrogen atoms.

Because all the ingredients in any food are either hydrogen or heavier atoms created through stellar nuclear fusion from hydrogen over time, the ingredients of any items can technically be described fully as only being made from hydrogen and time. Thus this label would be the universal label. A pun on two of the meanings of the word [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/universal universal]. Any food is of course ''universal'' as in a part of the universe. But the label can also be a ''universal'' label as in a common label for all food or any other product in the universe, as well as the universe itself for that {{w|matter}}. |
The title text first makes it clear that this works both for any {{w|grocery}} as well as any non-grocery, which as described above simply means anything else. It then goes on to making a pun on the words {{w|thyme}} (a herb) and {{w|time}}, as the two words are {{w|homophones}}. "H" is the chemical symbol for hydrogen thus completing the pun by noticing that the word "thyme" can be made by adding the letter "h" to "tyme" which would be a homophone even closer to the word time. | The title text first makes it clear that this works both for any {{w|grocery}} as well as any non-grocery, which as described above simply means anything else.
