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?!

“The red car and the blue car had a race,
all red wants to do is stuff his face;
he eats everything he’s sees, from trucks to prickly trees;
but smart old blue he took the milky way.
hes looking for a chocolate treat, fluffy and light, that he knows won’t ruin his appetite;
”on no the bridge has gone” old red can’t carry on
but smart old blue he took the milky way.”

i don’t remember a single thing from any of my GCSE courses but apparently my brain needed to retain every word of a Milky Way ad. I don’t even like milky ways.

Oh it ain’t no fun

The washing machine called Victor ("by the way, are you married?") - apparently a liquid called Wisk, which I don't remember at all ;-)

My niece got this from Shacklton's you know. They went to the showroom, they'd such a lot to choose from

The Roses advert that used to go:
Thank you very much for doing the dishes,
Thank you very much for being my missus.

Oh I loved that advert! @thewooster

The first Virgin Airlines ad

This is the age of the train

'We want to be together'

DH& I still quote that at one another 😂

"He's a nice man. A very very very nice man...."

I think that was the AA (might have been RAC). I say it when we pass an AA van anyway. An alternative tag line for them came from my ds shortly after he'd got his first remote controlled car. "Look, mummy. That car runs on the same batteries as mine!"
