I'm not so bright so please explain why there are lemons. Maybe this is a european thing? I want to like this ad because it seems simple. What does it mean?

in britain pancakes are seasoned with different things. ie. sugar, toffee, syrup, and commonly lemon juice.

Sweet layout, too.

I thought it looked old but still works to this day.

I take it "lemons" is another term the UK uses for a woman's chest?

You have to hate advertising in order to truly love it.

In the UK, 'lemon' is a term used to describe a juicy chested woman.

Really? I've not heard that. A lemon could be a girl (Rhyming slang, Lemon curd = bird) or a bloke (Lemon squeezer = geezer), but not a "juicy chested woman"

But 1/2 lemons are sort of breast shaped so it's a visual pun.

And we have lemon juice and sugar on pancakes, on pancake day. So it works.

Oh, and pancakes aren't really a term to describe flat chested women, but there is a common phrase "Flat as a pancake" that can be applied to anything, erm, well, flat!

Good idea, but I don't really like the art direction.
