Can you remember the product from the jingle or catch phrase?
I thought this might be fun

I’ll start with this one from when I was little - we watched a lot of ITV in those days.

Tense, nervous headache? …then take ……..

Poshpaws Use Elnett? Some hairspray anyway, I think

No, but close! It was Miss Clairol hair dye, and the rest of the slogan was “Only her hairdresser knows for sure.”

If you've looked at the poll of favourite ads this is the number 1 favourite!! Just two words......Phil Collins.

Tilly Trotter yay! The chimps, but it was Brookbond PG Tips …it’s the taste.. “ you name it son and I’ll play it”

Varian in the case of that ad it didn’t matter to me as Campari, Martini, Cinzano and that other mystery drink Dubonnet were all of a kind to me -ie the kind I wouldn’t have touched with a bargepole.

But they were entertaining.
And I’m sure it was Joan who got drenched with the Cinzano when the reclining plane seat suddenly shot back… “ getting your head back sweetly?”

"Pass the ........ DAD."

"Dad! We never knew who your father was."

( Grandma slams the lid of the piano in temper as she is lead out of dinning room.)

Sorry, should be: "??? is made to last for years and years and years"

“ssssh!”

You know who.

For Schweppes, I believe, with William Franklin in the starring role!

HurdyGurdy Sun 01-May-22 19:00:45

Chop, chop, busy, busy, work, work, bang, bang.

(Only one person I have ever quoted this jingle to has correctly identified the product)

TillyTrotter Sun 01-May-22 18:49:56

The chimps ….. Tetley tea Granmarderby ?

Granmarderby10 Sun 01-May-22 18:46:49

Babs758 Schwepps ? (sp?) you know who

“Dad - do you know the pianos on my foot?”

The ad with Joan Collins on the plane spilling her drink over Leonard Rossiter was very memorable - but was it really a good ad?

I can never remember whether it was for Martini or Campari or maybe some other drink.

Babs758 Sun 01-May-22 18:41:51

Yes Martini! That advert was aspirational - albeit shallow but I loved what the lifestyle represented to someone like me! Ok, I never ended up owning a yacht but did many of the sports in the adverts over the years and loved them all :-) I like Negronis now so blame that advert from many years ago!

TillyTrotter Sun 01-May-22 18:34:10

Martini Babs ? I’m lost when it comes to tik tok Katek .

Babs758 Sun 01-May-22 18:32:59
