Remember the tv/radio ad from years ago - "Kimberley, Mikado and Coconut Creams. Someone you love would love some, Mum?"

I used to love that ad but they've brought it back but there's no mention of Mum! :(

It sounds terrible now. It's a bit like having the final bit of your favourite song cut off by the DJ on the radio.

It's turned me off them for life! What have they done to the poor woman? Why have they done it? How can we get Mum back to where she truly belongs? :confused:

Lex.... you have far too much time on your hands........far too much :)
 
Re: Whatever Happened To Mum?

Jeez Lex.. get over it :rolleyes:

Mustn't be a lot going on down in Cork tonight!!

Whatever Happened To Mum?


i'd say she reverted to Ma/Mam/Mammy and it just didn't fit the jingle.

:p

Great to know that I'm not going through this on my own, Henny. Always good to have emotional support in time of grief. :)
 
Re: "Kimberley, Mikado & Coconut Cream. Someone you love would love some, Mum?" Mum g

Are ye mad? " ... would love some one?

Makes absolutely no sense. :confused:

Lex, I agree. I remember the original - for me the strangest thing is the missing of the beat - even if they said something else instead of 'mum' it would be a bit better. Like 'Jack' or something. :)
 
Re: "Kimberley, Mikado & Coconut Cream. Someone you love would love some, Mum?" Mum g

I think a non-rhyming word to fill the beat would grate even more than the missing "Mum" does at the moment!! How about "Hun"...or would that amuse the Celtic Fans.....

Do you know it just occurred to me that the original ad was one of the few occasions when "Mum" was used in Ireland (as opposed to Mammy, or Ma!) before we got all posh, and went down the "Mummy" road!!

Dead right, gipimann. Good one. And in The Real Capital, she was known as Me Mam! :)

That's true and it is also true down in Cork as well!

How about "Someone you love would love........... another,..... mother!
 
Re: "Kimberley, Mikado & Coconut Cream. Someone you love would love some, Mum?" Mum g

It's not the same without the "mum" bit.

Initially I used to think it was "someone you love would love some more", but that might have been wishful thinking in the hope that we were let have another biccy

S.L.F., if I didn't know better, I'd be thinking you were suggesting that Ireland's biggest city was its capital also! ;)
