I've been singing this all day! It must have been on TV more than 20 years ago.

What random ads do you remember from back in the day?

Daddy or chips?

TinyMetalBirds · 27/07/2020 00:28

@Cheeseycheeseycheesecheese

I can't remember what brand it was but the catchy tune was "I feel like chicken tonight, like chicken tonight, like chicken tonight" and I'm pretty sure it was Ainsley Harriet in the adverts.
That would be the brand called Chicken Tonight Grin

@TinyMetalBirds no way!?!? I spent a good 5 minutes sat here trying to remember what it was before posting.
It's so bloody obvious Grin

Nope, actual genuine late night stupidity.

DP and I were just laughing the other day about the Lockets ad from a few years back. The toff boasting about his lifestyle 'Daddy gave me this land .... handsome devil.'

There's a moose, loose, about this hoose. Maynards wine gums.

The BT adverts from about ten years ago with Adam and Jane. Towards the end you could vote for what happened in their story.
I suppose they're a later edition of the Nescafé gold blend ones.

The red car and the blue car had a race.
All red wants to do is stuff his face...

Crunchy on the outside, chewy in the middle, armadillos!

Tasty tasty very very tasty, they’re very tasty!

A van full of tradesmen ambles homeward to the tune of:

“Will it be chips or jacket spuds?
Will it be salad or frozen peas?
Will it be mushrooms or fried onion rings?......

Birdseye steakhouse grills if memory serves

amusedtodeath1 · 27/07/2020 07:31

Oh I love these, thank you OP.

Now let's see what my old brain can dig up.

"Choc Ice and Chips". (can't remember)
"I hope it's chips, it's chips, I hope it's chips, it's chips". (McCain?)
"I wanna be Smith's crisp, I wanna be ...."
"Opal Fruits, made to make your mouth water"
"The lady loves....Milk Tray"
The Joan Collins/Rigsby Cinzano Ads

Can't think of any more right now.....

@SplendidDaysInTheGarden

Oh, and "Do the shake 'n' vac" I loved that when I was a child. I still sing it when I'm hoovering
I still use Shake n Vac Blush
