What were the Minikillers?

[JussiK]

The first volume of the German comp Popshopping is all mindblowing stuff but a couple of the tracks stand out: first, the discofied tv/radio ad music for Moulinex - complete with euro strings and a chirping girl chorus, only with a 60's lounge feel which makes it even more enjoyable - and the ad for something called MINIKILLERS. What kind of product was this? Cigarettes or maybe sanitary napkins or something else to do with personal hygiene? Condoms for small guys? They did not sell Minikillers in my country so I'm extremely curious as the tune itself promises something wild, with a brassy broad repeating the title, sounding excited and laughing lasciviously.

That must be it as the track in question has a definite The Avengers feel to it - one can easily picture the singer in an Emma Peel-type black leather catsuit, shooting midgets! :-)
