There aren’t really many jingles now, a mistake really as they do stick in the mind, Persil Washes Whiter!

Boom, boom, boom, boom Esso blue!
I don't even know what Esso blue is.

I remember that mascara well ( guess we all had some.)
Also the very pale pink lipstick, to get the dolly bird look.grin

I still clean the kitchen floor to 'Stardrops,stardrops....' singing in my head. And I have had numerous earrings in my life but somehow they never seem to match up to the one the Lover placed in the box of chocolates for her to find.....Treetops orange cordial....Smartie people are happy people singing all the time because they're feeling fine....And I wonder why my brain has difficulty remembering new things it is clogged with advertising tunes from the past!! smile

This morning while applying mascara, I remembered the 'spit and scrub' type of the sixties. the small black and deep pink plastic case, the tiny black brush, and then 'Outdoor Girl' popped into my mind. Curious to see if anyone else remembered it I googled 'Outdoor Girl' - and it seems it is still going strong. Why do our brains retain these small facts? I know the words to the advertising jingle for 'Richard Shops'. Obviously I now need to steer my brain on to slightly more significant matters like paying some bills and walking the dog, but I did enjoy that little foray into my teenage years!
