Consider the following example. An application has a `Product` model with an instance method that looks up the product’s price on a competing website. The data returned by this method would be perfect for low-level caching:
```ruby
-class Product < ActiveRecord::Base
+class Product < ApplicationRecord
def competing_price
Rails.cache.fetch("#{cache_key}/competing_price", expires_in: 12.hours) do
Competitor::API.find_price(id)

+### A note on weak ETags
+
+Etags generated by Rails are weak by default. Weak etags allow symantically equivalent responses to have the same etags, even if their bodies do not match exactly. This is useful when we don't want the page to be regenerated for minor changes in response body. If you absolutely need to generate a strong etag, it can be assigned to the header directly.
+
+```ruby
+ response.add_header "ETag", Digest::MD5.hexdigest(response.body)
+```
