Nice Set Of Figs Buuud... Those pesky Jacobs Fig Rolls Taste Buds somehow escaped from our television sets yesterday and ran amok on Grafton Street. Each one looking like a human-shaped red tickler condom, they happily terrorised a few unsuspecting Irish celebrities as they went about their business... Pippa O'Connor mobbed by Figrolls Tastebuds Arthur's Day move over for Ireland has a new marketing campaign that's sweeping the Nation. Yup. Jacob's Fig Rolls have come up with an advert which involves a load of lovely figgi biscuit obsessed Taste Buds roaming around the tongue like Fig Rolls junkies looking for a fix and calling each other buuuud a lot. Pippa O'Connor mobbed by Figrolls Tastebuds Okay. It's all kinda stoopid yet funny. And not ones to miss an opportunity - Jacobs let loose a load of nutters dressed-up ala the hit advert on Grafton Street yesterday, and some hilarity ensued. At the expense of a few well known faces... Victoria Smurfit mobbed by Figrolls Tastebuds The Taste Buds crept-up and sprang on the likes of actress Victoria Smurfit, models Pippa O'Connor & Hazel O'Sullivan, economist Eddie Hobbs, and TV3 Apprentice winner Brian Purcell. And we're happy to report - all joined in on the good clean fun. Like, they had a choice. Victoria Smurfit mobbed by Figrolls Tastebuds The only famous face that got past the Fig Rolls flash mob on Grafton Street was former Miss World Rosanna Davison. Perhaps it was her oversized shades that disguised her or her strict vegan lifestyle made her impervious to Taste Buds or summit?? Hazel O'Sullivan mobbed by Figrolls Tastebuds We're currently loving the figgi obsessed Taste Buds, but don't worry folks, it won't be long before they are consigned to the Budweiser Wazzup bin of annoying adverts with so many others. Hazel O'Sullivan mobbed by Figrolls Tastebuds But while they are here, they are the ultimate accessory for any hip celebrity about town... Just ask Eddie Hobbs.

Fig Rolls may be the snack of choice for the over 60's, the "irregular", and viewers of Front Line, but at the end of the day they taste crap. Rosanna on the other hand is very tasty indeed.... balls – balls October 08, 2010 - 10:22 Ah the Knowledge Economy - nothing to worry about.
