P.S. Back in the early 90s, when I was in my early-20's, a colleague of mine would often use the phrase 'It's amazin' what raisins can do' if the conversation allowed it, and I had not the slightest idea what he was referring to. He was in his early 50's at the time and clearly knew about the erstwhile Cadbury's advertising campaign. Luckily for me, the internet came along shortly after and I was then able to trade witticisms like 'Everyone's a Fruit and Nut case' like a pro.
