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?

🎶 Everyone's a fruit and nut case 🎶

Oh, snap, didn’t see this. No one else ever knows what I’m talking about!
There was also ‘the red car and the blue car had a race’ which was so popular they brought it back years later!

Also Thierry Henry and his Va Va Voom.

Just rewatched and he is still so hot.

All red wants to do is stuff his face.

He eats everything he sees, from trucks to prickly trees but smart old blue he took the Milky Way...

The two pandas roller skating around in their enclosure when the photographer takes a break to eat his Kit Kat: "have a break, have a Kit Kat"

Daddy... or chips. Daddy... or chips.

Also the old Budweiser advert with the three frogs 'Bud' 'Wise' 'Er'

There was one for Buttercup syrup that nobody but me and my sister seem to remember, where he's trying to pull a sickie on the phone to his boss.

"Somebody let the dog out! And the cow..."

I remember that one. That bloke was Simon Pegg

I’m a secret lemonade drinker…

CaptainCallisto · 11/11/2022 21:58

Oh! And the Golden Churn ones with the cartoon king and queen and the milk maid Grin

BenCoopersSupportWren · 11/11/2022 21:59

As well as the classics already mentioned:

Bran Flakes…they’re tasty, tasty, very very tasty, they’re very tasty.

Ski yoghurts, with the James-Bondesque yoghurt skiing down the mountain.

All because the lady loves…Milk Tray.

And the Harvest Crunch bar adverts…watch out for the squirrels!

MoonahSton · 11/11/2022 21:59

In the 80s I remember one with a milkman delivering milk. All the milk bottles were dancing behind him in a line. And scuttling off to which ever house he said. I loved that one when I was little.

A finger of fudge is just enough to give your kids a treat. 😱

JeniferAllisonPhillipaSue · 11/11/2022 22:02

It’s full of Cadbury goodness yet very small and neat :)

The Tango adverts were great. Some guy waiting at a bus stop and the orange tango man comes running down the street and slaps him on both cheeks. There were ones in the advert series and they were all great.

cakeorwine · 11/11/2022 22:08

Remember lots of classic ones.

Guiness with the horses and surf
Old Spice
Mash means mash
The Halifax cashcard advert - set in Docklands. The radical idea of using your card to withdraw cash.
Nik Kamen and Levis Jeans.

The Nescafe advert - I can see clearly now

Music played a big part in adverts in the 80s.

@MissyB1 they've stopped making topics absolutely gutted as they were one of my favourite chocolate bars.

seagulldown · 11/11/2022 22:11
