So, just now as I ate a Flake, which was being all crumbly and flakey (which was interesting, because the last one I had wasn't especially crumbly or flakey), I found my mind wandering back to the infamous "Flake Girl" advert in the bath.
Under usual circumstances, I'd provide some sort of linkage to the advert here, but unfortunately I have failed miserably to find a copy of the advert online at the moment. Although I can tell you it's from 1991 :)
Anyway. So. Right. Ladies, I'd like your imaginations here, please :) Imagine this... You're in the bath. Relaxing. Forgetting about everything else going on in the world, and just enjoying the moment. You close your eyes, just enjoying doing nothing for a minute. You open your eyes... And there it is. A Cadbury's Flake, just sitting there. Begging to be delicately unwrapped, to be slowly eaten and savoured.
"This," you might think to yourself, "is going to be delicious. For it is the crumbliest, flakiest of chocolate!"
And then... "Bugger that!" would you not think? "I'd get chocolate all over me tits!"
I mean there you are enjoying a bath, do you really want bits of chocolate floating about in the water? :) I mean how are you going to get clean if every time you move you find a lump of chocolate trying to attach itself to you? :) And well, let's face it, if you've another half about the house, you couldn't possibly let them know that not only are you having a nice bath, but you're also getting covered in chocolate. I mean that's just asking for trouble isn't it ;)
So, am I wrong, or have I just shattered the illusion? ;)

That sir, is a very good question.
ReplyDeleteI personally wouldn't eat any chocolate bar whilst bathing, because, as you pointed out, it's all a bit messy ;)
You know what? I was going to post a comment, but clearly I have a dirty mind. So I'll stop right here.
ReplyDelete:-D
I'm not a big fan of mixing my pleasures, but I understand, that's just me.
ReplyDeleteDull.
Well, having brought the same subject up with my wife, she seemed to be in the same "No, it's just silly" boat :)
ReplyDeleteSo there you go. :) Not just you Roses, and it's just asking for trouble. :)
Oh and btw... Suz: Tease. ;)
lol ~ roses, i don't know why i found your comment so funny but i did. I think it was the "mixing my pleasures" phrase that caught my imagination. I had images of flakes, scented baths, Vogue magazines, gifts and wrapping all getting wet, someone attractive giving a shoulder rub and an enthusiastic puppy making a splash, with you shouting "please, somebody stop the madness".
ReplyDeleteI am not a fan of chocolate bars so i don't feel passionate enough about them to comment really. Now if it were a chocolate cookie...
;~)
Dianne, lol :) Are you suggesting that all those things combined would not lead to a relaxing experience!? ;) Why I find that hard to believe ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd I think a cookie would be worse than chocolate! I mean that's got crumbs! :) You don't want crumbs floating around in the bath water now do you! :) And it would risk getting all soggy! :)
lol, dunking biccies in your tea is one thing... But in your bath water!? :)
Nothing wrong with paragraph #4.
ReplyDeleteOh dear, I do have a dirty mind.
;)
