It was all Fightin’ Talk on the Ian Dempsey Breakfast Show this morning! First, Paula’s scathing review of 50 Shades of Grey, followed by the People’s Debate on how to make the perfect cup of tea - and THEN, people were up in arms over the pronunciation on Sudocrem! Ian was talking to Michael Noonan on Gift Grub this morning, and mentioned he might want to get a bit of Sudocrem for his eye – and Derek from Wexford was quick to text in that Ian had pronounced it incorrectly. Oh Derek, what did you start...
It's 'Sudocrem' not 'Sudocream' Ian. Pedantic Pat, and that is that! Derek in Gorey
It can be posh CREM or just plain ould CREAM – it’s all the same when it’s rubbed on a dirty arse! Brian in Galway
In USA they have "Butt Paste" instead of Sudocreme. I have a sachet if you need proof!
Sudo crem my arse
@IanDempsey I live in England and they all say sudoCREME.. I have had many arguments!!! Cream all the way...

And we called it sudocream too. It gets called sudoCREM on the ad all right but it sounds a bit pretentious and is possibly only a recent thing
It's sudocream, always was..... crem for the posh folk
Ian while we are being pedantic, then the sud in sudocrem should be pronounced SUD as in SUDS rather than Sooth. Sean Cork
Ask Derek from Wexford how he pronounces Cadbury’s Creme Egg?
Derek then waded back into the mix with this:
Does that mean it's pronounced "cadbury's creme egg" as opposed to "cadbury's cream egg" even though it's spelled "creme"? I think you're wrong, Derek in Gorey!
Followed swiftly by THIS, from Victoria:
Cadburys "cream" eggs are actually creme eggs but EVERYBODY calls them cream eggs!!! Get over yourself Derek
Victoria in Cork
We think Phil hit the nail on the head, and closed the argument with THIS:
Ian re: Sudocrem in our house it was always called BUM CREAM and always will be! Phil
