Funny advert with the camp robot/aliens taking the piss out of human culinary habits but the fact still remains-Smash tastes like freshly laid dogshit on a hot summers day. Proper mash is much nicer, but this advert still makes me giggle.
Somehow me and my friends all know this ad (even though we're all 90's kids) and we just randomly started quoting it in class, laughs and all....then our friend told us a teacher walked in, stared at us in complete confusion and backed away very slowly indeed.
God bless you Smash martians for making us lose all sanity :)
I remember seeing this ad aged about six and thinking that the robots were the coolest things I'd ever seen. So I badgered and nagged my mother until one evening, a plate of Smash was plonked down in front of me instead of the usual real potatoes. Sweet Jesus of Nazareth.....the stuff tasted VILE. Thirty years on, my stomach still heaves remembering it
@TomthatiscalledTom i nearly wet myself laughing after reading your comment... thank you, cheered me up no end, and completely correct, its awful stuff, i did exactly the same as, im just not as eloquent writing it :)
Bring these critters into the next Dr. Who series where they try to wipe out the Earth's population by raining powdered mash potato onto the planet and provoking heavy rain - hahahahahahaha!! :D
i love there laugh it is just so contagious. when they laugh i laugh. XD they peel them with there metal knifes XD then they smash them all to bits XD they are clearly the most primitive people XD just love it XD
My ma also starts to sing that when she sees or makes mashed potato. It seems that mothers can not resist the Smash adverts, where people can make their OWN mashed potato just by adding hot water. But I would of thought that mothers in the UK would shake their potato pots and mashers, over the thought of someone other than them, could make better mashed potato. With not as much effort.
In the UK, Cadbury makes everything from candy to manifold gaskets for Bedford lorries. J/k about the last part but when it come to the UK you get the general idea. In America, Bird's Eye is only known for frozen vegetables. In the UK, they're known for much more.
Not to nitpick, but wouldn't Martian minutes be the same as Earth's? Mars has a 24 hour day like earth, so an hour and minute would be about the same. If you want to get technical about it.
Unfortunately they've messed around with the product and it now tastes like mash, rather than Smah, which had a funny (but surprisngly delcious) aftertaste.
We used to take it camping. It was brilliant. Instant Smash, fried egg, baked beans and a flame grilled sarnie. Fart all night long but filled you up.
Mmm, lovely! I actually spotted a pack in a shop yesterday, and they still use the robots on the packaging. They got lots of value out of whoever designed them.
