Milky way advert! I thought I just went back in time

Post by tintinlostsnowy »

Just flicking through the channels on tv and on itv during the break for supernatural an old retro milky way ad came on and then a munch bunch which may also have been retro.
It was this one:

I am now waiting for the next ad break just incase we have some Action Force/Man or Star Wars ads :-D

I'm still mildly miffed that they've changed the IAMS cat food advert. I used to like doing the Mexican voice along to "but you'll have to check the label!"

Trying to remember the Double Decker ad of way back then found this compilation, complete with Jimmy Saville "now then, now then, now then" and possibly the worst Guinness advert in the world.



Oh yeah, and finally the classic Skeletron advert



Food looked so bad in the 80s, brings back such memories of Stuart Maconie whining about 70s food on BBC or such like.

And a document on the origins of estuary, ok

what, and commit advertultery?


ok, while we're on a nostalgia trip, who remembers this one?






part two is probably the better bit. They used to show a shortened version during Childrens ITV, I think

I don't remember any of those (maybe they were aired just in the UK), but the Weetabix one made me think: Have you noted that in most commercials, food WANTS to be eaten? What do they have against life?
