AIBU to think I remember this edam advert?

I’ve just recited the words of this ancient edam advert to my husband, & he looked for it online to see the old ad (like we did with the wine gums guy in the kilt) but there’s no trace of it on the internet & now I’m wondering if I’m the only one to remember it. It went something like this:

“I like a bit of edam on a little bit of toast
When I eat my salad, it’s edam I like most
When I'm feeling hungry, I whack it on some bread
It’s cocktails for the upper class
With edam on the (med?)
Edam appeals with fruit, and chateau sauvignon.....”

Then I can't remember the final line - aaaarrrrrggghhhh!

Tell me that I’m not mad (and that you know the final line)

One taste will tell
Try it if you please
It's the mini real cheese

Can't remember any more Grin

Can you share a link? That sounds familiar ....

Now all I can think about is the ‘any way you please it, cheese it’ commercial from the 80s. Thanks for that.

I recognised it as I read it. Can't find anything on google though!

Crunch it with your crackers or just with nothing on!! I remember this too op!!

There was lots of stop motion animation with the red wax making shapes to go along with the rhyme

CurcubitaPepo · 23/03/2018 20:51

Is the last line “Edam the all round cheese”?

Put it on your butt
It's round like a coconut

@NancyDonahue I remember the Babybel! I get it in my head all the time. I think the lyrics after that are

so smooth, and soft
it's a mild little cheese
ohBabybe--el
ba ba ba ba Babybel

If you ever wondered how you get triangles from a cow, you need butter, milk and cheese and a little bit of time!

I love Edam. I bought a whole round ball of Edam when I was pregnant. The lady behind the Tesco deli counter couldn’t even guess how much it would be as she “never sold it like this before”! I had serious cheese cravings!

moveymcmove · 24/03/2018 02:57

@Osirus that's some serious cheesy goodness! How much was it?!

ProfYaffle · 24/03/2018 06:56

Advertising food stuffs like that seems really odd now. Make Room for the Mushrooms and Int' milk brilliant? Weird.

Osirus · 24/03/2018 15:26

About £15-20. Was great!
