Old ads you remember

My husband came home from school one day wearing his cricket whites and some of the neighbours rushed out thinking he was The White Tide Man.

"One thousand and one cleans a big, big carpet, for less than half a crown."

"Go to work on an egg."

The Ajax "white tornado" ad.

What a trip down memory lane.

"The Esso sign means happy motoring"

"Keep going well, keep going Shell"

"Put a tiger in your tank"

Joan Collins/Leonard Rossiter in the Martini sds!

She flies like a bird in the sky
Nimble ad

The Red car and The Blue car had a race
Milky way

Flash cleans baths with-out scratching

My son then aged about 7 always refused a finger of fudge. In later years he told me that he thought the ad said,

"It's full of peppery goodness," not Cadbury goodness.

Birds eye waffles - waffly versatile!

A finger of fudge is just enough....Cadbury's advert.

You will feel a little lovelier each day with fabulous pink Camay.

The very first ad was

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

What a trip down memory lane! Keep 'em coming.

"Do the Shake 'nVac and get the Freshness Back"...cue raucous singing and dancing around the Hoover.

"A Mars a Day helps you Work, Rest and Play"..

I still love the Smash one with the falling-about-laughing aliens:

"They boil them for 20 of their minutes and they smash them all to bits"
"They are clearly a most primitive people ha ha".

And Hamlet cigars with Gregor Fisher's dodgy comb over and Air on a G String playing in the background...

Bum bum bum esso blue!

A million housewives every day pick up a can of beans and say , beanz means Heinz!

Don't forget the fruit gums mum..

Now hands that do dishes can feel soft as your face. With mild green Fairy liquid.
