Classic Ads
Which are your most favourite ads from the past..Any that remains in your memories from the past. Can be 10 days ago or 10 years ago.
Any ad that you can remember for 10 years is a very good advert!
I can't remember when this ad was broadcast, but one that was a favourite was a Fosters Advert and there was a guy saying "Water from Majorca don't taste like it oughtta!" Classic!

Of course the Orange Tango Man is a classi
And the milk advert.....Accrington Stanley...
And BTW wasnt it Heineken that did the "Water in Majorca"??
One from way back is; "He's finishing his Murray Mint, the too good to hurry mint." It appeared very frequently on TV but I don't think had much influence on sales. At least one didn't see many dsplays in the shops and I am not aware of friends - or my family -rushing out to buy the product.
It was suggested many moons ago that some TV adverts were made purposely to annoy viewers. An annoying ad. may make you say - 'I'll never buy a packet of xxxxxx as long as I live'. But months later when looking for a detergent on the supermarket shelves that product would 'shout out' at you because it is a familiar name and we are reluctant to buy a new unknown product even if cheaper
There's a lot of money to be made if you can produce adverts which bring in the sales!
Loosehead, yeah maybe it was Heineken, I'm not sure but will give you the benefit of the doubt cos I can't remember. Also I'm outnumbered in that dept!
Recently, I found the John Smiths ads with Peter Kay quite amusing but not a classic. Also, IBM ads are witty and funny too!
Team nemo, that Dr. Pepper ad was hilarious and was quietly laughing to myself while reading your post! Lol!
Also, another one came to mind but can't remember how or what the ad was about, but definately a Mini Cheddars advert. And remember it was at least 5 or 6 years ago..Anyways if anyone can remember that one plz that would be great!
