I chant the lyrics to the Wimpy Epic Burger ad while driving; I sing along to it when it plays on the CLEO radio [every hour on the hour]; I think about it when I’m in the shower, and it’s often the first tune banging in my head when I wake up in the morning.
Has anyone noticed how the camera has recently moved slightly up on the TV ad version, so we can’t see those lovely, gyrating pelvic-thrust movements anymore? That was the best part of the ad, and now it’s censored.
Perhaps on 1 July, when all my vegetarianism is over, I’ll see what all the fuss about it, and sink my teeth into something supposedly, epic. Maybe then the advert will stop haunting me, and I’ll stop seeing the main cheerleader’s threatening face in my dreams!
Apart from that annoying reminder of my diet, I did manage to have an amazing veggie dinner this week at Babylon Again, a Greek restaurant at Bright Water Commons in Randburg. Look, the centre becomes a graveyard after 9pm, so go early to avoid feeling like you need to leave before the zombies come out to eat you.
I had a divine haloumi vegetarian wrap, while my less-than-impressed uncle, my date for evening, noshed on his lamb curry. Traditional Greek food makes up most of Babylon Again’s menu, but they also have sushi if you’re feeling particularly cosmopolitan. You can book out the upstairs section for private parties, where after dinner you get to throw your tekkie and smash some plates!
