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. 😤😡🤬
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.
They really missed out on Pumpkin Spice.
Uh, excuse you, it’s car ibuprofen.
I have all three!
Easy. Spice Girl 1, Spice Girl 2, Spice Girl 3, Spice Girl 4 and Spice Girl 5.
Is that going clockwise or counterclockwise?
Yes.

Someone spell this out for me. What’s the connection between Spice Girls and Ibuprofen?
Getting older and recognizing a dated reference.
Age of the person with them.
Purse Ibuprofen, Backpack Ibuprofen, Living Room Ibuprofen, Bathroom Ibuprofen and Bed Shelf Ibuprofen. Still can’t ever find it when I get a headache, ugh.
I consider you lucky. NSAIDs are a forbidden fruit for me.
Same. Acetaminophen (Tylenol). Backpack tylenol, office/desk tylenol, living room tylenol, bathroom tylenol, camping tylenol. I should totally put some in my car now that so many people mentioned, just in case my backpack isn’t with me.
Yo, tell me what you want, what you really, really want, I’ll tell you want I want, what I really, really want … I really, really want some 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.
I want Sporty Spice to peg me.
Do we have a best of Lemmy community, or a star board? This needs to be put on the internet fridge
I’d let any of them peg me
Hi, I’m Peg
I mean, yeah, but Baby Spice would be my choice.
However, I do think Sporty would do a better job and would probably hit me with a frozen kipper without me having to ask for it.
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.
This is the way
I’m pretty sure these are Spice Girls but I don’t get the ibuprofen part.
I’m guessing people who remember them are now old enough to need this medication.
When you spice up your life for so long it starts to hurt.
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.
I have in my work bag BP and cholesterol pills for when I forget to take them at home. I’m about the same age as the owners of these shoes.
I know them but almost never use ibuprofen. No sign of mild chronic pain in me yet.
When’s the last time you checked the expiration date on all this ibuprofen?
No need to just ask my kidneys
home’s bathroom and kitchen cabinets + office drawer + car’s glovebox
I have expired Ibuprofen. It’s in my bathroom. So not that spicy.
