I hate their stage names. Baby, Sporty, Posh? Why tf didn't they use actual spice names? Ginger was already there. Why others weren't called Cinnamon, Pepper, Clove, and Nutmeg? Fucking Brits. ๐Ÿ˜ค๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿคฌ

Brits don't actually use spices in their food so they probably couldn't think of any.

It's true. Few of their dishes are known to curry f[l]avor.

Curry spice would be a phenomenal spice girl

Her real name could be Cori Ander.

Indeed, they use them steeped in hot water.

Actually, the names were coined by a writer working for a pop magazine. He based the names on their personalities. After the article was published the names spread like wildfire with the public.

It wasn't till later that The Spice Girls officially adopted the names. At least some of the members actually hated them. Unfortunately, all their fans were already using them, so the group didn't have much of a choice.

Cardamom is the #1 spice and wasnโ€™t taken at the time even

They really missed out on Pumpkin Spice.
