The Poppins Rhyme
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I stare at you oh tube of joy
I’ve loved you since I was a boy
Your colours were a treat to see
your taste, oh how it pleasured me
(er... no innuendo intended... so get your mind out of the toilet)
Unrolling wrapper, I expose
the treats that needs no ream of prose
all I do is pop them in my mouth
and my eyes are rolling north and south
(heh heh... poetic license...)
The colours
red has brought a world of passion
orange and violet are radical fashion
green is the beautiful hue of earth
yellow reminds me of child birth
(hey... dont ask why... birth is beautiful)
Attack of the greedy mouth
I pop one pop two pop three four
I pop one roll and I crave for more
Post Mortem
my tummy needs poppins inside
so let me just confide
for tooth decay or cavities
I dont give a rats backside
MORE... MORE....
The Poppins Promo
------------------------------------------------
Ladies and Gentlepeeps... take a good look at this roll of candy. Its sweet. Its cheap. It ROCKS! Sure you get candy and chocolate that are a work of art, but who wants to eat a painting or a sculpture.
Look at the beautiful packaging. Those colourful stripes have been a part of every Indian child’s growing years. Sure the package has changed but it still oozes colour....
Open the wrapper and look at the colours.... LOOK AT THE COLOURS.... this can shame a rainbow.
Now pop one in... and go aaaaaaaaaaaah.... fruit flavoured boiled sweets at their most rustic, rural, ethnic (and many more cool adjective) best.
People have popped Poppins for years. This is why it is the most POPular brand of sweets in the subcontinent. This is a product from a company that was set up way before independence.... talk about nostalgia... I am so overwhelmed when I talk about Poppins that a tear rolled down my cheek...
thanks for the tissue....
Buy a roll today... yes... right now...
Because this is as INDIAN as they come... this is candy with HEART and SOUL!
now... I need a glass of water....
Poppins Facts that you or everyone else didnt know
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Poppins inspired Bob Dylan to write that great hit... POPPIN ON HEAVENS DOOR... when some nut at Parle sued... he changed it to KNOCKIN ON HEAVENS DOOR (heh heh heh)
When the first Indian went to space he carried toothbrush, paste and twenty packs of Poppins...
Poppins also inspired a movie... it was called Mary Poppins
Lifesavers are like Poppins too (edited :P)
Rock stars eat Poppins too... except for Guns N Roses... they always asked for a jar of M&Ms with all the brown ones removed to be in their dressing room before a show(now thats a fact)
Last Word
--------------------------------------
Parle has paid me 125 billion dollars to write this review so I’ve done it. Also, its a product that is worth writing on. It doesnt suck.... it will make you suck ;) now thats truly radical...
hey... take the mango ones and give me the rest... dont be greedy...
PS: The five flavours are.... orange, lime green, strawberry, mango (yuck) and black currant (aaah)
