Let’s not forget that those names came from a journalist (and likely a pretty racist one since she decided Mel B looked scary…)

Technically, none of them were as they were homo sapiens which is not part of any spice family.

Maybe it's what was being spiced. Like "Well, listen up, sonny Jim: I ate a baby." And he required Baby Spice for that meal.

True, but Mel C, aka Sporty Spice, was great in Jesus Christ Superstar.

Nah there’s a ‘sport’ scent of Old Spice deodorant, so Sporty is a real one too.

When I cook babies, I always use baby spice to make them more tender and flavourful.

Sure it is, the FDA defines spices as:

> SPICES - General Definition - Aromatic vegetable substances, in the whole, broken, or ground form, whose significant function in food is seasoning rather than nutrition. They are true to name and from them no portion of any volatile oil or other flavoring principle has been removed.

Ginger is also in the same family as cardamom and turmeric, and those would both be considered as spices as well.

I was convinced at least one of them went on to be some mega star like most of those boy/girl bands of the era, but I looked into it and none of them really did. Weird for how popular they were. They were everywhere in the 90's.

Do you mean to tell me that there are no spices named baby, sporty, scary, or posh?!
