00:00Okay, this is a magazine article that was in Top of the Pops magazine.
00:05Top of the Pops was an iconic British music show.
00:09It's the show that we all grew up watching, like, longing to be on it.
00:13You're watching The Spice Girls on Chopin' Apple!
00:19Now, the editor of this, a guy called Peter Lorraine, said to us at lunch,
00:23you girls, you need nicknames.
00:25So we came up with all these crazy nicknames through lunch,
00:28and he came up with these names.
00:30Well, you know the names, right?
00:31But it was just a silly article.
00:33It's just these, like, little Pots of Spice,
00:35with our nickname Scary, Baby, Posh, Ginger, Sporty.
00:38So it was just a throwaway thing.
00:40Like, we laughed at it.
00:41But then when we came here to the US,
00:43everybody kept calling us by these nicknames,
00:46and it just kind of stuck, and we loved it.
00:49And so we just really embraced it.
00:51We became caricatures of ourselves.
