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?!

Think Trio is winning for most mentioned!

Remember someone at school had a hamster called Trio 😂

Should say orange man

So many

A finger of fudge is just enough to give your kid a treat

Pea and ham - from a chicken?!

You do the shake and vac and pu the freshness back

And all because the lady loves milk tray

Fry’s Turkish delight - full of eastern promise

Was that Bovril?

The Acrington Stanley kid has quite a career now - hilarious in Trolleyed and Brassic!

Remember the Cadbury Strollers advert where he sits on a train and Black's 'Wonderful Life' kicks in?

No one remembers this one but there's a family sitting round a table while their boiler verbally abuses them 'Baldy...! Baldilocks and the three hairs..', 'wouldn't wanna meet you on a dark night'. So funny but so wrong! Slogan was 'is your boiler behaving badly?'

Nick Kamen washing his Levis in the launderette

Kia ora (I'll be your dog)
Trio trio I want a trio and I want one now
Thank you very much thank you very very much

The flash chequed tile floor adverts
Accrington Stanley
Muuuum ....'s eaten my microchips!

'Got any milk?'

'Milk?? Urgh!!!'

'It's what Ian Rush drinks and he says if I drink lots of milk when I grow up I'll be good enough to play for Accrington Stanley!'

'Accrington Stanley?! Who are they?!!!!'

'Exactly!'

Fly Fishing by JR Hartley

The skeleton in the armchair singing ' Re record not fade away' in the cassette tape ad.

Can’t believe no one’s mentioned the “Papa?” “Nicole?” car ads! Was it for a Renault Clio? I remember a comedy skit someone did of it which was brilliant (maybe Bremner bird and fortune) where it’s the dad driving through a red light district and he winds down the window as a woman approached and she says with shock? “papa?” And he goes “Nicole?!”

Also does anyone remember Banana Bubbles?

“Banana bubbles, banana bubbles, the cereal that tastes like a milkshake” (it did not taste like a milkshake, it tasted like vomit)

The British Rail one with the penguin on the book yawning

If you can pinch more than an inch

Think it was for Bran Flakes?

I still do it to myself now and then

Jimmy !! 😱

They're gonna taste greeeat
They're gonna taste greeeear
Everybody knows Frosties taste great!

And we all love clover, all over this land

Oh lelli kelli my beautiful shoes, oh yeh!

Great examples!!

Now normal tea bags are always square, but Tetley make them round with taste to spare

Remember the Tetley one in the desert?

Water....water.... (Finds water)....kettle....kettle! 😂

There's a moose loose aboot this hoose

Remember the finale to the "Papa?" "Nicole?" ads?

"BOB!"

The little Petit Filous girl with the blonde bob. "Makes your bones grow strongerer." I remember asking the hair dresser to cut toddler dds hair like the Petit Filous girl

The best advert EVER was for Mobil Premier points - 24 toasters from Scunthorpe!
I also know all the words to the Alphabites advert - A is for Alpha, b is for bite, c for yourelf that they taste just right, d is for dinner, e is for eggs, leeters so tasty from A through to z. Crisp golden potato, fluffy and light, oven baked, grilled or fried, made by Birds Eye you can't buy better and called Alpha bites - cos each one's a letter.
Although, come ot think of it, my two always called them 'smiley letters' for some reason, maybe after the smiley faces.
Smiths crisps, Um Bongo, Coco Pops, and an advert for Ovaltine where the girl flew off the tin and sorted out some problem for a man 'so he can go chuff chuff while his redeemer, slips away to pastures greener, she'll pick you up with ovaltina' and she returned to the picture.
And also, the Pretty Polly advert that also showcased the Jaguar car and had 'Move over Darling' as the sound track.
I may think of more, love this thread!

Chambourcy, real chocolate mousse, not for children
A finger of fudge is just enough to give your kid a treat!

The red car and the blue car had a race…

This was a local one from Granada TV region - "St Helen's Glass...has the class!"

Does anyone else remember being told to "Call Eileen Bilton!" No idea who Eileen was, or what the advert was for!

Fresh cream cakes, naughty…but nice! With Barbara Windsor. The catchphrase was written by Salman Rushdie!
