Posh & Persil

Stumbled across this quote while trawling the net.

“Right from the beginning, I said I wanted to be more famous than Persil Automatic.”
Victoria Beckham, Learning to Fly, The Autobiography

Strange that the young Posh should aspire to gain the kind of fame that is associated with UK’s largest selling washing powder instead of aspiring to be like any other famous singer. Maybe, at a very young age, Posh understood that a famous brand is as good as a famous celebrity.
