Spry-Eyed

Surely a can of lard, no matter how Spry it may be (and what an interesting name that is to choose for a lard product, don’t you think?) cannot teach a person to cook. And it cannot actually cook the stuff for you, either!  This lady seems to think that the enchanted Spry can started piping out little instructions, rushing around the kitchen on wee legs, fetching bowls, jumping on the countertop to supervise her. “That’s it, flute it round the edge. No, not like that! Like this, see?”

There is also a nice ironic undertone to the ad, as the heroine does not look quite as spry as she was, no doubt, before getting married to the gas cooker.

She really has a slightly mad look to her. Like she has been in that kitchen WAY too long. Some days it only takes about ten minutes for me to look like this, and that’s without the pastry.

Thank you so much Amy for this fabulous ad!
