Advertising tag-lines and slogans from the past - what can you remember?

Here are just three:

'Course you can Malcolm.' Vicks Sinex
'A Mars a day helps you work, rest and play'. Mars bars
'The chocolate and a half.' Cadbury's Dairy Milk

Grid Turkish delight…made us all call this confectionery ‘Turkish delight’ it’s actually a Greek confection.

It was ‘Treets’ melt in your mouth, not in your hand!!!

Didn't Margeret Thatcher come up with, cream cakes, "Naughty but nice." Or is that an urban myth?

Myth!! But she did have a hand in the chemical constitution of Mr Whipph ice cream! Bastard that she was!

Any time, any place, anywhere
There's a wonderful world you can share
It's the bright one, the right one
That's Martini

Golden Wonder, they're jungle fresh

Stomach feeling dismal, pepto bismal

I've googled it and allegedly it was Salman Rushdie who came up with, "Naughty but nice" which, if anything, is even more bizarre.

@TheTecknician "Course you can Malcolm" (pronounced "Balcolm" to mimic his cold-infested speech in the ad) was a favourite saying in our house. As soon as anyone expressed hesitancy about their ability to do something they were jumped on with this phrase.

The red car and the blue had a race, 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. He's looking for a chocolate treat, fluffy and light, cos he knows it won't spoil his appetite. OH NO, THE BRIDGE HAS GONE!!! Old red can't carry on but smart old blue he took the Milky Way.

Bounty, the stronger soaker upper, Bounty! (the original name of Plenty, kitchen roll)

I’d like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony… think that went to number 1 in the charts on the back of that ad.

P-p-p-p-pick up a penguin, back when Penguin bars weren’t nasty.

“A last request, gringo…” - dodgy advert even then, but loved a Texan bar, back in the day.

New Trebor mints are a minty bit stronger
Stick 'em up your bum and they last a lot longer

A million housewives every day pick up a tin of beans and say "Beans means Heinz!"

They’re tasty, tasty,
Very, very tasty.
They're very tasty.

We sang the Coca Cola song at school as a kind of hymn. Poor Miss O'Hara our headmistress. I don't think she knew it was from an advert. She wouldn't have liked that.

Oh Lord. The list is growing. Mum and JR Hartley, Sheila and the fake perfume, Miss O'Hara and the Coca Cola jingle. Innocent times in the Red Rose County.

I was about to say the Club one. They couldn't use that advert nowadays as the amount of chocolate on a Club has diminished appallingly.

Polo.. the mint with the hole

@ToadRage I think the, "Stronger Soaker Upper" would have worked just as well for Bounty, the coconut filled chocolate bar too, not just the kitchen roll of the same name. Considering its ability to absorb saliva.

The milky bar kid, is strong and tough....and only the best is good enough

”mitchells self drive where people come first. and come back again”.

“pea and ham. From a chicken”

Noodle Doodle came to town with lots of straight spaghetti.....

Vauxhall - Once driven, forever smitten

Fosters. The amber nectar
If Carlsberg did ... they'd probably be the best ... in the world
John Smiths beer with Peter Kay No nonsense

The best advert of all time - Guinness - Tick followed tock followed tick followed tock

Kiora it's too orangey for crows, it's just for me and my dog!

These posts are making me so nostalgic, love it!

For great lager, follow the bear

For mash get Smash
