Old adverts

Do you remeber the songs
'the Esso sign means happy motoring etc etc' and 'smoke gets in your eyes'

How about Cadburys fruit and nut cases?

Go to work on an egg (with a lion on it)

You'll wonder where the yellow went when you brush your teeth with Pepsodent

I'm an advertisers dream arent I? what a sucker!

I used to wear a badge claiming "I'm a cadburys fruit and nut case " I think I got the badge by saving chocolate wrappers, I wore that badge with pride, oh the innocent of the young !

The first time I saw a TV advert, on a friend's set, it was 'Murray mints, Murray mints, too good to hurry mints'

I'm sitting at my desk singing the Esso song and getting some very funny looks. Did the Smurfs do an advert for something. My granddaughter has them from MacDonalds and thinks they are a new thing.

I think the Smurfs did an advert for pasta but I could be wrong

I loved the Smash potato advert's where the potato's got their head's smashed in by the martian's,Martini advert's with Leonard Rossiter and Lorraine Chase

A Mars a Day helps you Work, Rest & Play

Colgate Ring of Confidence

The Oxo Mum and her growing family

We always called the Esso Blue Dealer the Esso Blee Dooler.

There was a disgusting spread called Cheese Whizz. And an Everly Brothers (I think) song... The only trouble is, Cheese Whizz, I'm dreamimg my life away.....

I'm getting old

A finger of fudge is all you need....
You can be sure of Shell....

The Esso ad...put a tiger in your tank

NSG Only Trouble is Gee Whizz I'm Dreaming my Life Away,from the song,All You Have to do is Dream,sorry to correct on this but me and The Everley's go back a long way

Murray Mints, Murray Mints The too good to hurry mints, with a bullfighter chewing his mint while the bull charges him.

A local camping shops ad here in Australia always sticks in my mind:

'Now is the winter of our discount tents'

'Naughty, but nice'. I think Salman Rushdie was responsible for that when he was a copy writer.

1001 carpet cleaner cleans your carpet for less than half a crown

Look. Here's some recipes for the Everley Brothers spread. www.kraftrecipes.com/recipes/search/searchresults.aspx?searchtext=cheez+whiz&u2=cheez+whiz&start=1&rsort=

Do the shake and vac and put the freshness back...........

and all because the lady loves milk tray

hands that do dish's can be soft every day with mild green fairy liquid....... thank you god for my dishwasher!

can you tell Stork from butter? absobloodylutley!

I wondered that Glamma. Those recipes seem to be "current".

Anybody remember the "Persil Washes Whiter" adverts up on the hoardings? Two little girls with their mums, passing each other on the street, and one's girls dress is a shade murkier than the other's sparkling white one.

I used to feel so sorry for that little girl whose mum didn't use Persil.

The ad went on telly later with a tune to the catchphrase.

"You wonder where the yellow went, when you brush your teeth with Pepsodent"
(appalling grammar wasn't it!)

Can anyone remember powder "toothpaste"? Can't remember the name of it. It tasted horrible.

You're never alone with a Strand. I can also sing you virtually all the Ovaltiney song. I bet some of you can too...... I think that was on Radio Luxembourg.
