We always mute the adverts on the TV!

‘If you like a lot of chocolate on your biscuit, you’ll love Club!’

With respect Witzend I think it was "... join our club" 😉

The one treat I can remember as a child 😋

The Guinness white horses. Perfect.

On the other hand, weird car ads that make no sense at all.

“Washing machines go better with Calgon”
“FLASH, oh-oh-oh”
“They asked me how I knew it was Esso Blue. I, of course, replied with other brands you find smoke gets in your eyes”

Just done this one on the other thread but I'd thought I'd torture you with it too 🎶We are the lads from country life, you can't put a better bit of butter on you knife, if you haven't got it innnnn have a word with the wife, and spread it on your toast in the mornin 🎶😂

Setlers brings express relief! (to the background of an express train). What an ear worm!

Do the shake & vac and put the freshness back. Oh no! It's going round in my head now.

The Esso sign means happy motoring. Call at the Esso sign.

No wonder they called them ‘jingles’!

I still remember a couple of ancient ones - ‘You’ll wonder where the yellow went, when you brush your teeth with Pepsodent!’
(Presumably wouldn’t be allowed now, false claim)
and
‘If you like a lot of chocolate on your biscuit, you’ll love Club!’

I actually bought some just in case...
So far so good. I haven't had to open the bottle so it's an effective deterrent.

Oh the power of advertising, I wasn’t very well Saturday night, I was sitting on the loo, feeling very sorry for myself while singing: when you’ve got heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, diarrhoea……..
