Just added to a thread about discontinued confectionery. Made me think about adverts that stick in your mind. What nostalgic adverts do you remember well?

The Rolo advert, which featured a horrid child who teased an elephant.

Beaverbrooks, and also Famous Grouse whiskey, both at Xmas.

Denim aftershave, with the woman's hand snaking down the hairy chested man's shirt.

Old Spice aftershave, with the surf.

The 1980s ads for Penneys/Primark, and the ESB ad with Alan Hughes.

ImPickleRickSpartacus · 11/11/2022 21:36

The only advert I remember from my childhood is the gorilla playing the drums.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 11/11/2022 21:37

🎶 Everyone's a fruit and nut case 🎶

A580Hojas · 11/11/2022 21:38

No, it was "joos" because it was a wine gums advert.

RaininSummer · 11/11/2022 21:40

I liked the softmint ad with the bendy minty man.

A sexy chocolate bar singing something about ‘everyone’s a fruit and nut cake’ and ‘the secret of her beauty’, whilst ruffling her golden wrapper hair/dress

”Papa”

I think it was for strepsills. A woman eats some bread, then has a sore throat, looks back at it and it morphs into tree bark. So she takes a strepsill and it turns into a mini first aid kit between her fingers. And suddenly she's fine!

What a rollercoaster.

Duracel bunny in a toy shop and all the toys die except the bunny

Galaxy chocolate where the lady is gliding around in brow, silk, flowing robes and eating chocolate by popping it in her mouth sooooo slowly.
