Briggsy Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 I didn't even realise it was pancake day today til about an hour ago. I used to know week's in advance when they advertised Jif Lemons on TV (you know, the one with the slogan "Don't forget the pancakes on Jif Lemon day"). The Jif Lemon advert was to pancake cake what the coca-cola advert was at Christmas What happened to Jif Lemons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emy Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 That is a very good question, maybe someone thought it was a real lemon and cut their hand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Kane Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 They still sell them, but maybe they can't afford to advertise anymore. I watch so little TV I wouldn't notice one way or the other to be honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonross46 Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 I asked this towards my mates today I only found out about pancake day late-afternoon, and like Tom I barely watch TV. I resorted to Nutella on my pancakes cos we had no other tempting options. Good though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonross46 Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Golden Syrup is nice to have, but its such a messy substance. I end up scraping the plate as best I can with my fork to get any excess syrup off to eat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you on about! We just used two in our house even though I feel like I have rigormortis already I still cooked pancakes. BTW before food ever got sealed into its packaging like it does these days, I worked in a food shop, where I'd squirt a bit of each jif lemon into my mouth, steal a glace cherry from every pot, you get the idea!!! I can't have been the only person doing it?? Can't beleive it was never sealed before! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number2Fan Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 So are JIF lemons!! They are on sale ALL year round too!! For people who like lemons, but only need a squidge here and there. Otherwise a whole lemon would mould away! What are you on about! We just used two in our house even though I feel like I have rigormortis already I still cooked pancakes. BTW before food ever got sealed into its packaging like it does these days, I worked in a food shop, where I'd squirt a bit of each jif lemon into my mouth, steal a glace cherry from every pot, you get the idea!!! I can't have been the only person doing it?? Can't beleive it was never sealed before! Please no more wondering about them, they are still out there!!
