Brixton's Bowie mural covered up by advertising

[Mr Retro]

I love popcorn. Just not to eat.

And if you really want popcorn you get it from the ever changing cast of young men in the reliance arcade and take it into the ritzy yourself. You don't buy it anywhere posh.

£1 a bag. Cooked like 30 seconds ago.

I love salty popcorn but the sweet makes me projectile vomit. As the Reliance guys have a sweet and savory on the go, once in a blue moon you get a sweet one in the savoury bag. Perilous times. But I don't give a fuck, me. It's just how I roll.

Do they sell Propercorn in the Ritzy?

Please don't complicate things.

get over yourselves ffs

 

[Mr Retro]

There is a vast hopper of packs of assorted popcorn installed now. I assume it will be distributed to the good burghers of Brixton during the afternoon.

True community action.

 

[Mr Retro]

True community action.

In a roundabout way it is. All the advertising for popcorn has me constantly craving for it. I've never bought so much popcorn from Reliance Arcade.

I make it at home in a natty little glass cooking thing. Costs next to nothing.

Well in fairness, every time you post it's like you place the ball on the penalty spot for me and leave an open goal.

Spotted a 38 Boris bus painted yellow all over - except for white dog boney things all round it - this morning.
These people seem to have a large advertising budget.

Apologies if this has already been posted http://www.thegrocer.co.uk/buying-a...propercorn-gets-1m-london-push/519782.article

I'm sure I've seen these somewhere, so they must be stocked in a local pub. Not sure which though.

Wouldn't touch them myself as they lack pork fat and hair; prerequisites of acceptable beer snacks.

My cousin had a spare ticket for that and he didn't let me have it because he didn't think I liked Bowie. I have never forgotten.

"Proper corn" indeed. Did they have an army of roller derby people outside the ritzy on Saturday or was that something different. They were all in pink too.

 

[editor]

I asked their PR what was the nature of the "free community events" that they were laying on to supposedly compensate for plastering their advertising all over a mural.

They answered:

Propercorn will be offering a series of events inclusive of free Propercornsampling, nail painting, screen printing as well complimentary food and drink

I responded:

I am curious how you're describing some of your forthcoming activities as community" ones - surely handing out free samples and drinks from a no-doubt heavily branded stall is just promotional activities? What is community based about giving away free samples? That's just standard marketing practice.

They didn't respond.

They were giving out free bags of popcorn there on Saturday afternoon, but I got a feeling it was backfiring because there are several different flavours available and almost everyone in the queue seemed to end up getting a flavour they DID NOT WANT and then having to hang about to swap it back with some other unhappy punter. Lots of mutinous commenting from the people lining up to wait. I boycotted them
