I like that Neil. A good demo piece.
Ha ha - Brilliant!!
Not sure about that Derek. Looks like it could be mashed, but apparently you can't tell the difference. Have you tried licking it Neil?
Was it not like the little robots from the Smash powdered mash potato ad
We all obviously wasted our childhoods spending too much time watching adverts on the telly.
The youngest members of the club got it though 2 older didn't
When I left school I was Apprenticed as a Lithographer. One of the college subjects I had to do was on the quality of asthetics.
You may be shown a picture or a quote from an advert that everyone knew but if you couldn't name the product it was obviously a fail.
"It's frothy man"?
"i'm a secret lemonade drinker"?
"Sticks out a mile"? etc.

Mash get Smash is etched into my brain forever. 
I was a young sales rep for rank Hovis McDougal and we had a competitive brand called "Buttery" which was a superior product but we couldn't get past the effective marketing by Cadbury who spent £millions on TV ads and conered the market.

Very clever, now you have to figure out a use for it. Maybe you could put butter in it for creamed potatoes?
