The Royco Advert

I just watched a Royco seasoning advert I had loved as a child. An unhappy husband returning home from work is being welcomed by his lovely, stay-at-home wife. She comes at him with joy but he brushes her of. She tries to lighten up his mood by bringing him a glass of fresh juice which he turns down and continues reading the paper without even looking at her face. Then she remembers Royco. And she rushes to the kitchen to put together a beautiful combo of vegetables, tomatoes, onions and Royco. Husband gets fed up with the house, grabs his car keys to go somewhere and blow of steam. The aroma from the kitchen stops him...he traces it to the kitchen and he rushes to the dinning table. In a jiffy, the table was set and his lovely wife, the tray with the beautiful dishes in her hands, came in and caught him in the act. They laugh. She feeds him happily, he eats happily and all is well again. I still love that video. Properly captures the typical Nigerian home in the 80s and early 90s. ...
