Old advert jingles - how many can you remember?

[Pagan]

Prompted by standing in a queue at the post office whilst staring at a chocolate display a tiny voice inside my head whispered ....

"who knows the secret of the black magic box?"

Made me think of loads of others that the good old marketing folk left in my poor brainwashed head.

"I won't let the munchkins munch your jaffa cakes"

"Even chewier than a 60 storey block of flats"

"Fit the best, fit Everest"

"Mitchells self drive, where people come first (and come back again) - we're on the back of Yellow Pages"

"It's cozy fits from paddi, the elasticated nappy, they shouldn't leak, they're fantastique"

I could go on for hours and I don't even watch that much telly

[crazydazy]

Oooops that wasn't a jingle

Good advert though!!!

~Catch~ Catch if you can on the outside is chocolate and underneath the chocolate are crispies.

Of course the cornetto ad.

and for the Irish out there the HB ad 'I remember when I was a boy and got taken out to Rathfarnham to watch them bringing in the cows to milk to make HB icecream......and the best bit was when they gavce me a huge big bowl of vanilla icecream'

Now thats an old ad

A finger of fudge is just enough to give your kids a treat
A finger of fudge is just enough until it's time to eat
It's full of Cadbury goodness
And very small and neat
A finger of fusge is just enough to give your kids a treat

(crawls off and hides with shame)

"I'll risk it for a Swisskit!"

"Because the lady loves...Milk Tray"

"Umbongo Umbongo they drink it in the jungle"

"Hey Mabel, Black Label" (That's a point - when did they stop advertising booze on the telly?)

[FrumpyGrumpy]

Not so much a jingle but a fond, fond memory for all the Scots - "pea and ham, oot a CHICKEN!"

Tell me I'm not the only one who loved that and I soooo wish they'd run it again. Still cracks me up just thinking about it.

Birdseye peas:

[Pagan]

[Toothache]

All that chocolate
And all that chew
Its right for you
The reisin chocolate chew
So give me a reason
to count on you
Give me a reason
for a chocolate chew!

[dinosaur]

Actually I suppose they haven't - cos there are still those ancient Guinness ads doing the rounds aren't there?

(Sorry - seem to only watch BBC these days!)

[moozoboozo]

All because the lady loves Milk Tray
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. DO DO DOOO DO

Do the shake and vac and put the freshness back
If your carpet smells fresh your room does too
