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

m - a - r - a - t - h - o - n ..... marathon

finger of fudge is just enough to give your kids a treat.
a finger of fudge is just enough until its time to eat
its full of cadbury goodness and very small and neat
a finger of fudge is just enough to give your kids a treat.

Mr soooft, won't you tell me why the world in which we live in is so stra-ange?

Eerie one that, as I recall Suz.

Haven't read whole thread so apologies if I'm repeating but ...

Do the Shake and Vac
and put the freshness back

was pretty memorable.
Also...

'Kids in water ... they love it'
'Flash cleans baths without scratching'.
'Melt in your mouth, not in your hand' (The big Mistrels LIE!)
'Wagonwheels. So big you've got to grin to get them in'. (Not these days you haven't)
'Whether you're ooooooooh,
or whether you're - dip dip dip,
Triumph has the bra for the way you are'.

What the Mr soft one?

Yes. All weird and in the minor key. Plus that big soft scarey thing.

I loved it, maybe that says something for me!!

Too hard...

Don't be a dummy
Don't you worry
Don't be a dummy
Spend your money
Don't fade into the shade
Find the gear that's worth the grind
Find the gear that blows your mind
It suits ya

Complete with scary glowing eyed dummies.

Way down deep in the middle of the Congo, a hippo took an apricot, a guava and a mango. He stuck it with the others, and he danced a dainty tango.

The rhino said, "I know, we'll call it Um Bongo", Um Bongo, Um Bongo, They drink it in the Congo.

The python picked the passion fruit, the marmoset the mandarin. The parrot painted packets, that the whole caboodle landed in.

So when it comes to sun and fun and goodness in the jungle, They all prefer the sunny funny one they call Um Bongo!

Great advert memory antibes.
Indicative of many many wasted hours in front of the telly. I too have a library of crap lyrics and advert scripts from the eighties stored in those parts of my brain which were supposed to keep history, sums, the Penguin classics and classical music.

Ah well! Thanks to this thread we can display what our brains have soaked up. eg ...

Up town at the local on a saturday night.
I met this girl from Birmingham and she was alright.
She was vey intellectual 'Ta very much'.
The way she ate her crisps had a feminine touch.
But the gorilla that she had in tow was just a bit much.
Harp, stay sharp to the bottom of the glass.

I could go on?

No?
Oh. OK.

There are two men in my life
To one I am a lover, to the other I'm a wife
and I give them both the best
With shredded wheat!
