OK, that last one was bugging me so much I gave in and googled. I now know what it is for, but have never heard of the product before, let alone the slogan.

It was quite old, I think.

I see nobody has got no. 13 yet!

Here's a clue. The full endline was sung:

"xxxx (big head) xxxx xxxx. The pint that thinks it's a quart" From the 70s I think.

I googled the ones I couldn't get....and I had never heard of 13 or 30
