"A pinta per person per day" - Milk

"Go to work on an egg"

[Holders]

"Nicole!", "Papa!"

100% Cigar Tobaco, not strong like a big Cigar, and filter tipped, and at 5 Shillings and 5 Pence for 20, you can afford to hand them around.
Long live Jon Cotton Cigarillos.

Such an innocent slogan in those days. I doubt they'd get away with it now.

Still as innocent today. It's just that time has corrupted your mind!
Mine has always been pretty corrupt as the ad gave rise to teenage sniggers (didn't they used to be 'marathons'?) at the time.

Put a Tiger in your Tank.

Heard some tousle-haired blonde comedian using that one on the tv just the other day.


Strand: It's interesting that the ad is so well remembered after all this time.
At the time it was a failure. Smokers wanted to see themselves as gregarious, attractive fun lovers not lonely losers having a solitary drag in the darkness. The brand was withdrawn.

It could well be successful now, then, if they re-made it as little gaggles of lepers outside the back doors of buildings.

I loved the Cinzano ads with Joan Collins and Leonard Rossiter!

[cottage expat]

I liked " I'm the Esso Blee Dooler" (Esso Blue Dealer)

[bobbo]

"Nicole!", "Papa!"

that was that powerful at the time my daughter constantly was ringing me up say papa Nicole here , 3 or 4 months later I bought her a new Clio. Having never had a new car in my life - still not.

[MaidstoneMark69]

Funniest ones i can remember were the castella? Or hamlet cigar Ads, where you had Rab C in the photo booth, the guy with his carlos fandango super wide wheels, and the fella in the privvy where the andrex puppy runs off with the toilet roll, those were lol funny!

Anyone remember the mccain pizza ad  'that's handy Harrow stick it in the oven'

Ah Bisto Fulham fanas well

[filham]

I do try to avoid commercials and think that over the years the standard has fallen.
Some of the advertisements I do see are so remote that I have difficulty knowing what they are advertising.

[Woolly Mammoth]

The breaks for the adverts are so long and there are more breaks every ten minutes, that I now make a Pot of tea in between the adverts when the programmes are on.
