I was searching the web to see if I could find any tenuous link to Lime Opal fruits and the Beatles to annoy you with , when I found out that Murray Walker wrote the slogan “Opal fruits , made to make your mouth water “ 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have gone with strawberries and cream/ice cream, but then my taste buds are f***ed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
