The embedded video about the mum & kids growing herbs for ice cream

[DanteThunderstone]

Is it my imagination or has it been showing up on Mumsnet pages for about TWO SOLID YEARS now? Presumably whatever effect it was intended to have - we all grow mint? we all have garnishes for ice cream? we all get a warm glow from doing planting with our kids - will have hit a point of diminishing returns ages ago. The boys in the video have probably each grown a foot since then and become roadmen or developed videogame habits or taken up vaping. I just don't know what commercial or for that matter horticultural sense it makes to show over and over and over and over and over the same blasted video of the same arsing packets of seeds being chosen at the same freaking garden centre by the same blooming family? And yes I am aware that it doesn't matter and is a complete non issue but bloody hell it annoys me.

😂well said! It’s soooooo dull and annoying. It’s a packet of seeds ffs. Yet they seem to think it’s the next best thing to flying to the moon.

Yes! So glad you posted this. I have been scrolling past the fucking thing for bloody ages and I still have absolutely no idea what it us advertising!!
Presumably they have paid millions by now for their useless advert!

Aww I like that one but I can't stand the guy who smothers that chicken in jam 😫

Bring back the microwave smore lava cake thing 😋

I might as well confess that I never have the volume up on my phone so I've never actually heard the video, just seen the boys looking frankly bored shitless while their mum bigs up the seed lifestyle.

There was another one about a toddler being put for a nap wasn't there? That one annoyed me less because the toddler was pretty cute. Can't remember what it was advertising.

Yes! So sick of seeing this, but I still didn’t get what it was for.

There was one where an older woman looks up in slow motion surprised. Also annoying.

I always think chicken jam man looks slightly like Stanley Tucci though that might be my wishful thinking. Stanley Tucci could cover me in jam any time.

Smothers a chicken in jam…? What fresh hell is this?

I'm with you OP. I thought the woman was a MN admin or something til I watched the vid and realised what it was.

Seedy shots in slow-mo and boring af.

Yup it's as bad as it sounds! I think it's called "raspberry jam chicken" 😖

I do agree though OP, the Stanley Tucci vibe softens the blow!

Ugh gross. Somehow it’s even worse that it’s raspberry. All those seeds! Reminds me of those episodes of Masterchef in which some hapless cook decides it would be really avant garde and exciting to pair prawns with strawberries or flavour a trifle with spam. Never goes well. Obviously.
