A finger of fudge is just enough
To give your kids a treat.
It's full of Cadbury's goodness
And nice and sweet to eat.

When DS was tiny, I'd meet him from school, and say "Can you sing me a song?" If he sang that jingle, I'd magically produce some fudge!
I've not thought of that for years, it's reminded me what a lovely little boy he was.

As a kid in tge late 80s, there was a jingle on the radio where I grew up in Northamptonshire, which went,

" [forgotten name] Taxis! 5555555 [ ] Taxis! 555555 [ ] Taxis! 555555, you dial we driiiiive!" It was simply annoying and worked extremely well.

Lloyds bank, "Oh! A Tundred! Sever one, oh, sever two, free!" I wonder if they still use that phone number.

And Mr Soft...

@Bluegingerbread it was fab, but my question was why am I hearing this advert, from the arse end of Australia from the 1950's in UK, in the 90's 😁?
