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?

@SplendidDaysInTheGarden my oh was putting waffles in the oven the other day and was sing the waffle song from the as. I I should say his version, all these years he was singing 'Bird's potato waffle, waffleys make them fry'. I thought this was hilarious. Doesn't even make sense😂

I must have a crap memory or be a bit too young to remember most of these Blush Is it urban legend or did the Milky Bar Kid ads get pulled because Mars wouldn't let a black boy audition for the Kid?

More recently, I enjoyed the Mini adventures ads and there was one with a load of brightly coloured ping pong balls released into a city, but I can't remember what that was for. The old Megane ad with 'I like big butts and I cannot lie' was catchy but the car was still odd.

Crusha, I want a crusha, it's good enough to make milk shake. With the kitten ska band!

Cravendale milk - remember Bertram Thumb Cat? That was brilliant. I also remember one they did where the cows were like East End gangsters - so fresh the cows want it back!
