If you grew up in pre-internet Ireland you will be well aware of our unique ability to treat any ailment with Sudocrem and 7up. Sudocrem is an Irish antiseptic healing cream that was originally called Soothing Cream. However the Dubs mangled the pronunciation calling in ‘Sood-ing Crem’, so the company went with the flow and rebranded to Sudocrem (true story).
Sudocrem was used to heal common ailments such as:
- Nappy Rash
- Burns
- Broken Legs
- Decapitations
- Broken Hearts
- Spontaneous Combustion
- Embarrassment
- Death
- Imposter Syndrome
- Man Flu
- Agoraphobia
7up on the other hand was stirred for an eternity to remove all the fun and served in a glass with a complimentary spoon. It was mainly used to replenish glucose, settle an upset tummy and reinforce Catholic guilt by making sure the experience was not the most enjoyable one possible.
Depending on your Mother you would also be prescribed prayers to St Anthony or if your parents were sound it would be a veritable feast of cartoons on VHS.
* Disclaimer: I am not a medical practitioner nor do I recommend the above to treat any of listed ailments. 😜😂
About Ray Hurley
About Ray Hurley
"For such a small nation, Ireland has a rich tapestry of stories. These tales remind us who we are and where we came from. Movies entertain, inspire and delight us. They question our morals and expose us to new ways of thinking.
During the pandemic and subsequent lockdowns I found I had more time in the evenings to revisit my favourite Irish movies. As a designer I challenged myself to condense the subject matter into brief sketches. These were the most poignant, funny or clever aspects of the films that resonated with me." Now, I love illustrating prints based on film, nostalgia & Ireland." - Ray Hurley.
