In 1977/78 when the CX500 was announced the market was full of conservative, similar-looking, motorcycles. UJM (Universal Japanese Motorcycle) was the term of the day. Not so in 2011, but thirty years ago many disliked the looks and design of the CX, and gave the model not-so-nice nicknames. Some spring to mind:
* Plastic maggot - UK
* Güllepumpe (fertilizer pump) - Germany and Austria
* Plastic pig - Sweden and Norway
How was it called in the US, and in other countries?
How dare you? Its infinitely better than that swill marmite [a jar of which I possess] I have carried out my own biased tests and Vegemite is the far superior product.
In the same way that OUR woman prime minister is even uglier than the one YOU had in the '80s.
As erudite as your answer is it still contains many errors of fact. I'm sure marmite is scraped off of truck stop bogs.
It has the odor and the flavour. If marmite made a sound it would be able to offend all 5 human senses.
They maketed it as "the putrescent product" in the 1950s I beleive.
Actually, I prefer Vegemite to marmite but I'll eat either. But who markets that promite $h!+?
Now, heathen I retire to bed to pontificate and pout petulantly, and to reflect on Australian superiority, basking in the warm glow of living in God's own land, - Vegemite country.
