Farewell Sudocrem!

..created in 1931 by Prof.Thomas Smith in the back of his shop on the Old Cabra Road Dublin, the nappy rash cream ‘Sudocrem’ was originally packaged in glass jars. Yesterday was a sad day though, with the news that the manufacturing of this wonder cream used for many ailments and famously favoured by Madonna is now moving to Bulgaria. 😔

pseudo [ˈsjuːdəʊ]
ADJECTIVE – not genuine;
spurious or sham.
