There are four possible variants (the two you give plus two with indefinite “cream cheese" instead of definite “the cream cheese”), and quite bizarrely, three of them mean the same, while the fourth is ambiguous but would generally mean the opposite unless context demanded otherwise. This is really quite odd! | |
