It's a good ad, but the ones with Douglas and his trombone are classic!

Double diamond works wonders
Smith crisps Golden wonder crisps On top of old smokey All covered in snow I lost my golden wonder to a brave Navajo HOW He crept up behind me And stole them away Now down in the valley They're crunching away Oh bring back my golden wonder smokey bacon flavourrrrrrr |

A lot of washing and cleaning products seem to not be bothering with TV advertising anymore. There seem to be far too many insurance, compensations and money saving orientated adverts on at the moment.
Thank goodness that all those femine hygeine product adverts disappearing. All except for the "Have a happy period" advert which was obviously written by a man. |

I have seen Lurpak advertised about 50 times this week.Rutger Hauer does the voice over about not microwaving a baked potato and bake it showing it some respect.
- either that or my mind is so overloaded with price comparison/insurance/debt ads that I can't remember anything else!

I think averts these days try to be too clever and steer away from what it is there actually trying to sell. With the Lurpack advert there's not enough package placement on screen and not enough mention of the product name. One quick distraction and you've missed it. |

Wasn't Elvis Costello's Dad in that ad? I seem to remember something about it in Smash Hits (back in the day

Ariston (and on...)
They're now part of "The Indesit Company" (who also own Hotpoint, Creda and Cannon - note the two n's) and even the Ariston website is just a holding page that redirects to Indesit. |

Are the Ronseal ads still running? They were superb. If I ever find myself in the market for fence painting products I will always buy the one the that 'does what it says on the tin'.

Everest Windows - The ones with farmer Ted Moult back in 1980s (the last one being in 1986 shortly before he committed suicide). John Noakes took over following Ted's death in 1986.
It was 22 years before Everest came back with a new ad. Fronted by Craig Doyle. |

I think you've missed the point here. You can't get Double Diamond anymore and Smiths got bought out by Walkers. We're on about products you can still buy today.

Jacob's Club. (Sorry, you're all going to have the song in your head all day now.) Bought some orange ones today and they're still quite nice, though I don't know he you still get all the flavours (like the plain chocolate ones with the golf ball on the wrapper, what was all that about
).Also - totally random but Castrol GTX used to be advertised on TV all the time (the ads with the oil running s-l-o-wly down the side of the can). |

Builder 1: Will it be chips or jacket spuds? Will it be salad or frozen peas?
Builder 2/3: Will it be mushrooms? Builder 4: Fried onion rings? All Builders: You'll have to wait and see! Narrator: Birdseye introduce steakhouse grills. Pure ground beef that you cook like a steak and serve like a steak. Narrator: What will you give your old man with his steakhouse grill? All Builders: Hope it's chips, it's chips. We hope it's chips, it's chips. We hope it's chips, it's chips.... Birdseye steakhouse grills. Now in lamb as well as beef.

Didn't Cadbury's assimilate that particular product into their Dairy Milk range?
Fry's Turkish Delight (obviously now owned by Cadbury's), the little pink square one, has always been available, and still is. I'm eating one right now.

No. There's always been a Cadbury's Turkish Delight (used to be just in bigger bars ala Tiffin), but they've since launched a Dairy Milk with Turkish Delight, which is the same as the big bars.

Probably the catchiest hook at the moment is "la la lala la I'm Lovin' it" for Maccy D. That jingle is still a bit old school ![]() |
