Big bollocking testicular popsicles.
Look what popped into my Facebook feed the other day. An ensemble, no - an omnibus of South African advs from 1988.
With such awesomely bland jingles like:
Sometimes you need a little Finesse! Sometimes you need a lot.
But the best? Is the Morkels lady. Obviously. When people think back to 80s South Africa they think:
1)Apartheid Ruda Landman in Carte Blanche
2)Sanctions The Morkels Lady
3)We weren't allowed to compete in the Olympics Citi Golf in primary colours
In all seriousness, the Morkels Lady. She's wearing a purple meringue, a red-rinsed perm and is advertising a giant chest freezer for two hundred ront.
I found out her name. It's Trudy Taljaard. She passed away two years ago from cancer apparently. (RIP).
Showing the Brit these ads, as the cornerstone of my upbringing - at least when I was 7-8 years old - brought back a surge of nostalgia.
