Frankly admit I have pinched this from FB, but I enjoy reading the contributions!

Here is mine to start

“You gotta shake n vac to put the freshness back”

Just one cornetto give it to me delicious ice cream from Italy

You can’t get better than a kwick fit fitter

Nothing acts faster than Anadin.

I always thought you could take that another way and say Well, I’ll have nothing then!

Hoover beats as it sweeps as it cleans.

This is luxury you can afford by Cyril lord - which was for carpets

So near so Spar
Trebor mints are a minty bit stronger
Coates comes up from Zummerset where the zider apples grow
Come home to Birdseye Country
There was also an advert for peas where the cannon ball pea was rejected with the jingo "Sorry mate you're too big for Farrows"

Gosh you've really started me off. When I wake up in the night unable to get back to sleep I'll try to think of old advert jingles

A million housewives every day pick up a can of beans and say............

TrendyNannie6 Mon 17-Feb-20 21:30:17

Beanz means Heinz

Loving this thread so many great ads I’d forgotten about

pensionpat Mon 17-Feb-20 21:32:42

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

I believe was the first advert. Possibly.

Take a break take a Kit Kat

Let the train take the strain

Happiness is a cigar called Hamlet

It looks good, it tastes good and by golly it does you good - for Mackesons

Go to work on an egg .

E for B and B you're best with Georgie Best for eggs - can't remember it absolutely

I gotta stop. see what you've done with this thread!!!

I’d rather have a bowl of Cocopops

Don’t say Brown, say Hovis

Persil washed whiter

My sister Jane got married
I had to wear a tie.
I didn’t like the wedding
And I will tell you why.
They wouldn’t let me have Heinz beans.
I wish I hadn’t come.
If that’s what getting married means
I think I’ll stay with Mum.

The worta from Jabralta don't taste like what it orta.

geekesse When I read your post, I could hear the cheeky little boy from the advert, in my head. It really made me smile. ?

Pea and ham soup from a chicken - that's clever!!

I married an Englishman who wasn't brought up in England, so when he asked me what he should bring in just after I gave birth to our son in Italy, and I replied "I'd really like some Tizer" "sorry,what?" "Tizer! You know, THE appetizer!" Not had that since I was little.
It must have been the drugsgrin

Instead of making me go to sleep stayed awake half the night thinking of old advert jingles! two came to mind.
Tony Tiger for Frosties saying "They're Grrreat"!
Which reminded me of Esso's "Put a Tiger in your tank" but they never gave any money to the save the tiger campaign.

"Everyone's a fruit and nut case" - to, I think, "The Dance of the Hours" - I still find myself humming this one! Probably not allowed these days as not P.C.!
