If it wasnt for the English flag boots, I don't think I would even have guessed. I wasn't into the Spice Girls.

The Union Jack boot-heel is a pretty big hint. I have kitchen ibuprofen and bathroom ibuprofen, does that count?

[–] cRazi_man@europe.pub 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

What are you doing in the bathroom to make you need ibuprofen after?

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 3 days ago

Getting ready for bed. Laying in which will make me too stiff and unconfortable to sleep without an NSAID (or sometimes a SAID) onboard.

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 61 points 3 days ago (5 children)

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. 😤😡🤬

[–] tias@discuss.tchncs.de 91 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

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

[–] My_IFAKs___gone@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] kraftpudding@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Curry spice would be a phenomenal spice girl

Her real name could be Cori Ander.

[–] violetring@lemmy.world 22 points 2 days ago

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.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 days ago

Cardamom is the #1 spice and wasn’t taken at the time even

They really missed out on Pumpkin Spice.

[–] Macchi_the_Slime@piefed.blahaj.zone 32 points 3 days ago (9 children)

No idea what this is referencing. But have "purse" ibuprofen, home ibuprofen, and even minivan ibuprofen.

Why yes, I do have chronic pain and migraines. How could you tell?

You just need some Spice in your life Girls.

I sent the image to my partner and accidentally caused her psychic damage by not immediately knowing that this was the Spice Girls too. I was born in '90 while she was born in '85 and I was like 26 when we got together, so we're not that far apart in age. But where that gap falls is sometimes huge for us.

She's apocalyptically gay, like "Mistook not being entirely repulsed by a boy for having a crush on them," gay. So naturally, she was obsessed with the Spice Girls. I knew of them, but I didn't really start branching out in my music tastes until the mid 2000's. Before that it was basically entirely the Country music my Mom listened to or the Classic Rock my Dad listened to.

So yeah, this was another thing that I accidentally caused psychic damage to my partner with because of our age difference.

[–] takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 3 days ago (2 children)

But acetaminophen is Paracetamol

Ibuprofen is ibuprofen

I having some now from my desk supply of ibuprofen, but I do also have some garage ibuprofen and some bedroom ibuprofen .... the best part is that I am a big brown long haired Native guy that knows these damned lyrics .... and I'm embarrassed to say I know who all the shoes belong to - clockwise from the Union Jack high heel - Ginger, Scary, Sporty, Posh, Baby.

[–] BartyDeCanter@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 3 days ago

I grew up with those sassy bitches.

I don’t take ibuprofen, but I do drink a lot of caffeine to dull the ocular migraines.

I'm pretty sure these are Spice Girls but I don't get the ibuprofen part.

[–] takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 days ago

I'm guessing people who remember them are now old enough to need this medication.

[–] ultranaut@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

When you spice up your life for so long it starts to hurt.

[–] YeahIgotskills2@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

I have gout, which runs in my family (but I doubt the 90s pints helped). Therefore I was eating Ibuprofen like skittles for way too long to take the pain away. I finally relented and got on the meds after the diet and exercise didn't fix it. Now I never take ibuprofen, and it makes me worry about how much damage I did to my organs and stomach lining while I was using it.
