    @dogmeat said in Memes:

    Not a meme but Nga Taonga Sound & Vision are running a little FB competition they play a few seconds of a TV ad from the 70's and you try and guess what the product is

    I liked this one

    Wrong thread ( and no I don’t know ! )

    @taniwharugby It was. I don't remember it at all but the punchline is pretty much in context with the majority of memes here

    @dogmeat plenty of the IK ads back then were just silly ads with the jingle and not really relevant to what they were advertising...dunno if you recall the ad, but it wasnt milk the last time the guy stole what was in the bottle...

    I guess you just mean old, rather than 1970s. Instant Kiwi wasn't around then.

    @crucial UK kebabs are gross - and just what you (think you) need after a night out. I always used to get two and would invariably wake up with this soggy package of congealed fat and some sort of protein in my jacket pocket the next morning

    You need to choose your kebab shops carefully. I think the best, and the worst, kebabs on the planet are in Britain.

    I remember having a great kebab in Paris, and their savoury galettes were great too, like a big crepe cone of ham and cheesie deliciousness. And the gyros I had on Santorini were nek level kebabs, even had fries inside!!

    Ah Gyros. Yes, with the homemade fries. One of the best food on the planet!!

    I have only ever had the latter, though every time I was drunk enough to think they were the former

    The simple mention of pineapple lumps has instilled in me a longing for Jet Planes and frozen Buzz Bars...

    OK, getting solar power installed and have just been told there will be no VAT on the installation - zero, zilch, nada. This is an unexpected and considerable saving which will be spent on stocking the cellar or re-roofing the barn.

    I'm contemplating the former.

    A few bags of jet planes are in the pantry too ….

    Feijoa lumps are how I’m going to make my billions.

    They need to make lumps out of good fruits like oranges or strawberries.

    I don’t even like Pineapple or feijoa but the lumps are excellent. If they followed my suggestion the result would be off the charts.

    East of the Tamar, we’ve not had pantries since 1954. Just saying.

    Almost as long as you've been getting cream teas wrong.
