Global (27 September 2024)–  It’s always thrilling when something proudly South African makes waves on the global stage, and this time, it’s happened in a way that has us beaming with pride!

Netflix’s new series, The Perfect Couple, has taken the world by storm, claiming the top spot on the trending charts, and there’s a delightful local surprise within it! A South African brand has made a cameo in the world’s number-one show—none other than the much-loved Ina Paarman’s range of products!

The Perfect Couple has been causing a stir globally, currently sitting at the top of Reelgood’s trending list. As the series skyrockets in popularity, the Good Things Guy team couldn’t resist jumping in to watch what the buzz was about—and we’re hooked! Set against a captivating backdrop of mystery, romance, and intrigue, the show had us binge-watching till the end.

And then came the magic moment! While most were glued to the plot twists, we spotted something unmistakably South African in the show’s kitchen scenes—Ina Paarman’s food products!

Seeing a local brand pop up in the middle of a hit global series was like finding a hidden gem. Ina Paarman’s products, renowned for their quality and rich flavours, unexpectedly appeared on an international screen, adding a dash of homegrown flavour.

Ina Paarman shared the photo to their Facebook page, “We were so delightfully surprised to spot a few of our seasonings and spice mixes in episode 3 of the popular Netflix series, “The Perfect Couple”. The Perfect Couple of Spices indeed!”

Hulle weet nie wat ons weet nie (they don’t know what we know)! Our products are champions too!

But how did this incredible brand come to be? Ina Paarman’s journey is an inspiring one. It all started in her kitchen in 1982, where Ina hosted cooking courses that grew so popular that she began bottling her delicious sauces and dressings for eager clients. Her philosophy has always been to create food with heart, using the finest local ingredients and ensuring that only the best reaches our tables. Over four decades later, Ina Paarman’s products have become a staple in kitchens across South Africa and beyond (like the kitchen in The Perfect Couple).

There’s something undeniably special about seeing a local brand represent South Africa on such a massive stage. It’s a reminder of the incredible talent, creativity, and drive that our country has to offer. We’re beyond proud, and this moment proves that South African products are standing strong on the global stage.
