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

[TheTecknician]

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

I remember the flake adverts were suggestive. Can;t remember any strap lines though.

@BrezhnevsLuxuriantEyebrows I think Fudge bars were pretty much the size they are now. They were always promoted to be smaller than the average chocolate bar so not as much room for shrinkflation as with Mars Bars etc.

It shows how times have changed - imagine an advert now encouraging parents to feed their children a chocolate bar between meals! The whole campaign was based around 'it won't spoil their dinner'.

The current version of the bar only contains 98 calories (just looked it up) so in fairness it's not the worst 'treat' you could have in terms of being fattening.

Only the crrruuumbliest, flaaaakiest chocolate.
Tastes like chocolate never tasted before.

Pal for active life - an advert for dog food.

Toddler ds used to ask for it in the supermarket, we didn't even have a dog!

Did that ad also have a punk saying 'I wanna be a brain surgeon.'? Think it was the red haired guy who is/was in Eastenders?

Milky Way used to be advertised as "the sweet you can eat between meals without ruining your appetite ".

I knew one of the singers on that coke advert, standing on an Italian hill if I remember correctly!

And all because the lady loves Milk Tray.

Only the smoothest, creamiest chocolate! (for Flakes)

Um Bongo, Um Bongo, they drink it in the Congo…

TRIO! TRIIIO! I wanna Trio, and I want one now. Not one, not two but three bits in it. Chocolatey biscuit and a toffee taste too! TRIO, TRIIO etc.

OOO, OOO Vitalite…

The worta in Majorca don’t taste like what it orta! Heineken refreshes the parts other beers can’t reach.

Carlsberg. Probably the best lager in the world.

I didn’t even watch much telly as a kid!

Yes! The Trio one is the one I always think of.

I remember this but can’t remember what were tasty! Was it Findus Crispy Pancakes?

Was that Pat Coombs?

A Double Diamond works wonders

Follow the bear. Beer advert

Follow the bear. Beer advert

Safeway...everything you want from a store and a little bit more

Who remembers British Telecom phone cards that could be used in phone boxes? "A £1 phone card buys up to 10 separate calls".

Hey good looking, what you got a cooking, how about cooking something up for me? Findus Lean Cuisine

Tasty tasty very very tasty has made me think of

I feel like Chicken Tonight .Like Chicken tonight.

Just think between us how much memory is being used up with this junk. We could probably have memorised the periodic table or something more useful for our school days.

They were filth!! Wasn't it something like "the flakiest, crumbliest milk chocolate in the world'?

ETA: I should have read the rest of the updates as Redheadedstepchild had already given the strapline!

Oh, we are the lads from Country Life, and you'll never put a better bit of butter on your knife
If you haven't any in, have a word with the wife
And spread it on your bread in the morning.
Country Life butter. This was sung by cartoon men in flat caps.

A cigar called Hamlet.
My favourite Gregor Fischer "The Baldy man" passport photo booth ad for them.
