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?!

"Maltesers, they're lighter than ordinary choc o late"

The fabric softener advert with a small boy doing a kind of superhero cape runaround with a towel, saying 'It feels loike butterflyz wingz' in tones like you might use mainly if you were doing the voice of a burglar when reading a story for a child, while your voice was also affected by your feet whacking the ground because you were running around.

Castrol GTX - liquid engineering.
Texan, sure is a mighty chew.
Lockets - 'Daddy gave me this land. Handsome beast.'🤣

Ah Bisto
Thus is not just any…

Ready Brek - central heating for kids

The Red car and the blue car had a race.....
milky ways...

The 70's Solvite advert where the man is stuck on a board dangling from a helicopter

I've got vague memories of when they did an advert in 3 parts in the same ad break. But I can't for the life of me remember what it was about.
It was a cliffhanger to draw you in. Must have been 80s.

What will it be for tea tonight?
Um bongo they drink it in the congo
Shake and vac put the freshness back
Charlie says
Milky bar kid says milky bars are on me
A finger of fudge is just enough to give the kids a treat

I plagued my mum to buy it because of the advert..I took one spoonful..yuk.

I used to love the Maltesers one where they played what a feeling and the woman was dancing on the ceiling when I was about 8. I used to try and walk up my bedroom wall so many times after that!

This dates me a bit, but:

See you all in Courts (embarrassingly I know all the lyrics, and don’t know any of the lyrics to the original Monty Python song)

If you want a crunchy wheaty eaty, eaty a wheat crunchie

chuck out your chintz

(radio) make it KSV for your coffee and tea, your local vending experts! (I think it was for a coffee vending machine supplier)

Ariston (and on, and on)

I’ve got the power (advert for maybe electricity privatisation? Had Frankenstein in it)

Natwest, it’s not all work work work (with the Miami vice soundtrack)

Follow the bear.

" Dave, that grease is going nowhere!"

Go to work on an egg.

Croft Original with Jeeves and Wooster. " One instinctively knows when something is right".

They go with beans, bangers, bacon, burgers, fish, fingers…and fish fingers! Eggs in, eggs on, gammon, steak, chops. Bird’s Eye Potato Waffles, they’re waffley versatile!

That plus finger of fudge, shake and vac and put the freshness back, JR Hartley, and do you love anyone enough to give them your last rolo all live in my head, rent-free.

Put a tiger in your tank
Esso petrol

Milk Tray man

Only smarties have the answer

That Hula Hoops ad with Richard O'Brien

If you drink and drive you're a bloody idiot

Probably already said but:
