Wtf Robinson’s juice advert

[Mycatsmellsbad]

I don’t normally feel quite such outrage over an advert but what I’ve just watched has really pissed me off.

A new Robinson’s ad where a woman opens her fridge to get out a bottle of wine.

Small child comes up behind her saying ‘Lucy, it’s a Monday. After a stressful day at school I like a glass of Robinson’s juice’. She tries it and says ‘oh yes very nice’ or something similar.

Am I the only one to think fuck off Robinson’s don’t start shaming people (mums particularly) for choosing to have a glass of wine - even if it is on a fucking Monday. Fuck off.

I heartily dislike the Tampax advert, "Get it up there, girls!"

I haven't seen this one, and I am glad. Barely see ads anymore as use pretty much only streaming but this would make me rage ever so slightly. Just..no.

But tampax ads always pissed me off a bit. The ones where women get the urge to go skydiving on their period because seemingly the tampax gave them loads of energy and happiness and such..just bizarre. Never have I became so happy and energetic on shoving a tampon in mind, but I guess each to their own I must be doing it wrong.

My kids cheerfully tell anyone who'll listen that I'm an alcoholic. If I started drinking squash then they'd worry I have a real problem.

To the PP who said cake is unnecessary ...

This just reminded me of when I was married years ago, as in 1960 era.
My husband used to go abroad a lot for business, and he always brought me some duty free booze back, mainly Bacardi rum in those days. So in the week,when he was at work, and children at school, my friend next door, used to come and join me for a bit of a booze in the afternoons sometimes..We sat outside, and drank the rum.instead of mowing our lawns, until the children came home from school. We then rushed in our houses to start the dinner, with a few minutes to spare,before our Husbands came home from work. ha ha,

I like it, kids acting like adults always makes me laugh far more than it should

Well, not saying Jesus was a common magician, just that at least one of the “miracles” he performed was not so miraculous.

I'm not much of a drinker and I do think many drink more alcohol than is good for them (and don't forget if you have kids they are seeing everything you do). However, I'd more more annoyed about a company peddling crappy artificial sweetener filled rubbish to kids - that shouldn't be normal either! Doesn't anyone drink water anymore?

@heartsonacake

Agree with you. Dont think there was any need for the nasty comments you received either.

I'm too drunk to care!!

Does anyone need all their faculties to go

"No Hugo, I don't want to pretend I'm a Lego figure again"

I'm a far BETTER parent after a glass if wine. My tether is sufficiently lengthened by it as to make doing bedtime a much less fraught experience. Tis like a little buffer twixt me and the tedious reality of teerh-brushing refuseniks.

My parenting/teaching skill mix this lockdown has been to teach my 10 year old how to pour the perfect glass of wine. The perfect gin is to follow, I now have a build in wine waiter!
That might make the pearl clutches need the smelling salts

When I was 10 my father taught me how to make gin and bitters. I have never looked back!

Jesus Christ, the fun police are out in force this evening.

Jesus is too busy doing magic tricks (and drinking) to care what the fun police think.

When I was 10 my father taught me how to make gin and bitters.
Mine taught me how to open a goon bag. Ahh Australian farming dads.

If it was a trick then Jesus did a pretty good job to work it on 180 gallons!

On the intoxication front, I continue to be outraged that my doctor refuses to provide me with laudanum for my hysteria.

I felt like it was my experience with Mumsnet when you express your love for wine

@RadicalFern On the intoxication front, I continue to be outraged that my doctor refuses to provide me with laudanum for my hysteria how very dare they!

@geekone Ikr?! How will I get adequate use out of my fainting couch now?
