Which old adverts do you remember? UK

[Squashinthepinkcup]

Wondering if it's just me who has a brain that retains truly useless information like jingles and entire scripts to adverts from yonks ago

For me its

• 122 years of hovis
• legit every word to the cheer up ever green frog singing to the tune of daydream believer
• accrington stanley milk
• the entire poem from Comfort Vaporesse
• orange Wednesdays.... 'baby, we should go every Wednesday!'

Honestly would be way better if I could switch some memory cells for something actually useful 😂

Anyone else?!

Shake and vac, and the rolo advert where the boy teases the elephant lol

"When you wake up in the morning... Vitalite!"
"Um Bongo"
"We want to be Smith's Crisps"
"We all popped down to Do it All - they got it all here."
"Sun Pat, Fun Pat, our Son Pat"

I have a head full of useless knowledge.

Pepperami (bit of an animal)

If you don't drink your milk every day you'll only be good enough to play for AS.

AS? Who are they?

Exactly!

Yep to shake and vac. Also the Country Life Butter ad and song.
"Oh we are the lads from Country life and you'll never put a better bit of butter in your knife"...😅

They are mostly junk food that I remember, not good really!

There was a car one.

Jack proposed. Said OK.

I met 'Jack' on a night out and called him Jack all night..

If you see Sid, tell him.

Mr ambassador you are really spoiling us...

There's one I'm trying to remember from the 90s (anyone know?)... it basically was a golf ball bouncing its way through town, on a bus, down the steps of the bus... I think it was a cigarette advert.

A Finger of Fudge, it wouldn't be allowed now as it talks about giving your kids a treat.

I also liked the Ever Ready battery ad with the city of batteries and UFO type thing flying through the city - Power to the People.
