Old Adverts

What we want is Watneys

Baubles - You have reminded me how I loved Clarnico caramels. They were iced in pink and white.

In 1963, Fairy liquid were giving away Wades whimsies kittens and bush babies, I`ve still got mine!

Oh yes Gondola baskets for your cookery !

And they snagged your stockings!

kittylester, we had those baskets for DS as well! They were all the rage, you had to have one, but you're so right - nothing fitted in them properly...

Tom Thumb cigars for Christmas
Tom Thumb in tins of ten
Theyre the ten tin tops
Theyre in all good shops
The Christmas gift for men.

I bought some for my Dad. He didnt even smoke!
Such is the power of advertising.

Consulate menthol cigarettes.
Cool as a mountain stream.

We used to thread the daffodils into the weave of our gondola baskets. We insisted on gondola baskets for domestic science despite the fact that nothing fitted in to them and we had to carry the basket and the food home separately!

Was there something about free 3D glasses or such like with Weetabix?
I seem to recall ' you can get your viewer from Weetabix, it'll only cost you one and six'........

We used to get cards between the Shredded Wheat, way back when I lived in Welwyn Garden City and I knew it was made there.............I think they were things to cut out.

Yes - and we used to collect the plastic soldiers they gave away with Kellog's Cornflakes!

'I'm Prudence Potts the pot inspector,
Prudence Potts the spot detector...'

Don't remember what that was advertising, though.

These are all flooding into my head now - I think I need to find something to do. Anyone remember Handy Andy household cleaner -

Handy Andy, strong little gentleman
cleans your whole house easier than
a whole lot of other cleaners can

Anyone else remember when Fairy Snow (I think it was) washing powder used to give free plastic daffodils and tulips with their packs? We loved them as kids.

I'm sure a sailor would 'hanker' after more than a cigarette.

"When at sea a man will hanker
For the flavour of an Anchor
So much satisfaction!"

Players' Anchor cigarettes

The red car and the blue car had a race,
all red wants to do is stuff his face....... (milky way)

I remember years ago sitting in the cinema waiting for film to start, everybody chatting, then this advert came on & just about everybody joined in with singing the lyrics!

The milky bars are on me !!

.......crumbliest flakiest chocolate, tastes like chocolate never tasted before... (cadburys flake)

What was the Burtons one ????

"You're never alone with a Strand."

A Double Diamond works wonders works wonders
A Double Diamond works wonders
So drink one today!

Fabulous pink Camay!

Ariadne ......'with fabulous pink Camay'

I always thought it was hands that duodisous make you soft in the face with my green hairy lip squid

No. Perhaps I am still thinking of Fairy Liquid

Leonard Rossiter and the martini ads - still smile thinking of his leer!

"Well I've got these chocolate fingers and they come from Cadbury"

Thanks Ariadne

With mild ?? Camay

"A million housewives every day
Pick up a tin of beans and say
Beans means Heinz."

"Someone's mum just doesn't know
What someone's mum really ought to know.
So someone's mum better get to know
That Persil washes whiter.
And that means cleaner!"

"you'll look a little lovelier each day
With ????? Camay."

(Can't sleep...)
