Old TV jingles

The thread about the cost of cleaning carpets set off the old '1001 cleans a big big carpet for less than half a crown' advert in my head and it made me wonder whether I was brainwashed by ITV as a child. I still believe a Mars a day helps me work rest and play and that Pal dog food prolongs active life! Anyone else still wondering where the yellow went after brushing their teeth with Pepsodent?

Remember a pint of Best? Courage do!

Pity they'd forgotten how to brew any...

The advert for a Finger of Fudge.

"A finger of fudge is just enough to give your kid a treat.
It's full of Cadbury Goodness and very small and neat."

My son aged about four/five wouldn't eat them and when he was older he explained that he thought that the advert said.

"It's full of PEPPERY goodness. smile

Did you have the tigers tail hanging from your petrol cap? We did!

And then there were the goodies buried in the packets of Kellogs cornflakes. I remember my collection of plastic battleships. They didn't float.

Someone's mum just does not know
What someone's mummy ought to know
So someone's mum better get to know
That Persil washes whiter
And it shows!.

She flies like a bird in the sky, she flies like a bird and I wish that she was mine, she flies like a bird, oh me oh my, see her fly, now I know, I can't let Maggie go. (Based on me, obvs grin)

You'll look a little lovelier each day, with fabulous pink Camay.

We used to sing "You'll wonder where your false teeth went, when you brush your teeth with Pepsident".

Watch out, watch out, there's a Humphrey about! (Unigate)

Oh we are the lads from Country Life -
And you??ll never put a better bit of butter on your knife,
If you haven??t any in ?? have a word with your wife
And spread it on your toast in the morning!

Softness is a thing called Comfort.

It's frothy man! - not really a jingle, this was for a soft drink called Cresta which we all had a craze on in our house!

Birds Eye peas, sweet as the moment, sweet as the moment when the pod went pop!

Looks like we really have been brainwashed by these simple ads.Today's ads are nowhere near as memorable are they?

(I used to think it was 'Deadly Bittermen...')

Ana Mon 14-Sept-15 21:45:07

Persil washes whiter!
the Bounty Hunters... They came, searching for Paradise, and they found it!

They wouldn't get away with that now would they, now that 60 is the new 25 grin

trisher Mon 14-Sept-15 19:59:15

No it's just come back it was 'mild'!!

If you want a lot of chocolate on your biscuit join our Club.
Bought some recently and you couldn't sing that now the chocolate barely coats the biscuit!
Only the crumbliest flakiest chocolate tastes like chocolate never tasted before.

Now hands that do dishes can be soft as your face with brand new Fairy liquid.
Not sure about the brand- it might have been soft?

Oh dear I watched far too much TV!!

Hot chocolate, drinking chocolate

Put a tiger in your tank.

End a meal with an apple - nature's toothbrush.

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