Anyone else feel like this week is grinding along at a snail’s pace?

Yet here we are, squaring up to Thursday, which means it’s time for a throwback. You can see our complete list here, and last week it was that classic Halls advert.

What treat do we have in store for y’all today? If you’ve never heard a man with a Jamaican accent pronounce the word ‘cucumber’, you’re in for a good time.

Courtesy of reggae artist Macka B, here’s a quick lesson about the wonderful green vegetable:

Keen to teach your children this song? Well you do you, so here are the lyrics via Genius:

Cucumba, cucumba
Vitamins, minerals very high number
Silica, hair and nails get longer
Other vitamins make your bones dem stronger
Anti wrinkle make you look younger
95 per cent water, kidney cleanser, great hydrater
Detox, fibre, good regulator
Give your body good things don’t be a traitor
Get the cucumber cut it inna slice
Put it inna jug of water overnight
You know what you get for a fraction of the price
Energy drink full of electrolytes
Raw inna salad is one of the use
Or as a base for your vegetable juice
Another surprise, put a slice on your eyes
Take away the dryness, revitalise
Oh yes, one thing I have left
Cucumber can also help with bad breath
Wash away the bacteria that cause the odour
Cucumber water instead of soda

Macka B’s Medical Monday, 2oceansvibe’s Throwback Thursday.

Hugs to all.
