Advantages: The songs on the adverts were great
Disadvantages: They don't show them any more
Here is my list of my best ever television adverts, most of them are from when I was younger.
1) Kia-ora - "it's too orangey for crows, it's just for me and my dog" "I'll be your dog. woof, woof, woof......". Come on sing along I am sure you remember it and it ended "We all adore a Kia-Ora". I remember watching this and loving this advert when I was younger. Bring it back!!!!
2) Um Bongo - "they drink it in the congo" Remember the pink hippo like animal with all the fruits around it. Started something like this "Way down deep in the middle of the Congo, a hippo took an apricot, a guava and a mango. He stuck it with the others, and he danced a dainty tango"
3) Shake n Vac - "put the freshness back!". Anyone that saw this advert will remember the lady dancing and singing the tune as she vacuumed up her carpet.
4) Charley Says - This was a series of Public Information Films for children. It dealt with safety issues that children face, like not going with strangers. They featured a little boy called Dominic and his cat called Charley. Charley would say something to stop the boy doing something he should not be doing, but you could not tell what Charlie said. Then the boy would tell us what Charlie said to him. I really have no idea what these would be like nowadays if they were still on with the changed in the world since they were on.
5) Cadburys Fudge - "A finger of fudge is just enough to give your kids a treat" I don't remember much about the pictures in this advert just the song.
6) Monster Munch - "but while he's asleep, guess who's eating his crisps?"
Do you remember the original monsters; the small yellow monster that was for Pickled Onion flavor, the tall pink monster that was for Roast Beef flavor, and the small blue monster for Flamin' Hot flavor.
7) R Whites Lemonade - "I'm a secret lemonade drinker". Remember the man in striped pyjamas creeping downstairs to get into the fridge for the Lemonade.
8) Smash - "for mash get smash". This featured the Smash Martians, who would watch humans making mashed out of potatoes on television instead of using potato granules.
9) Cadburys Caramel - "Take it easy with Cadburys Caramel'. Remember the sexy looking rabbit with a husky voice and come-to-bed eyes.
10) Trio Biscuit - "TRIIII-O, TRIIIII-IIIII-O!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WANT TRIO AND I WANT ONE NOW!!!". I remember this tune on the advert.
I will apologies now for anyone who has read this and can't get any of these songs out of their head after reading it.
Summary: Read my list and i bet you'll have one of the tunes in you're head all day

- 02/03/09 What a blast from the past! Loving it. Remener begging my mum to buy Um Bongo instead of usual juice despite not liking the taste (that advert worked on me!) |
