[@peecee1384]

This recording might date from 1979 but I reckon the ad was on telly as early as 1976. I remember mum buying me some to carry in my school bag, for the hot summer days. I probably didn’t appreciate her kindness at the time. Thanks mum for caring about me 😔

[@s3tTz]

Headlights are well and truly on! :D

[@ravenmaenad]

I remember this ad vividly... pretty sure there’s a follow up where she’s riding a bike in short shorts and they zoom right in there lol. So 70s.

[@longhairedlayabout]

You may be thinking of a Paul Hogan Show skit with Karen Pini riding a bike to the tune of The Push Bike Song.

[@cansee0]

That was Paul hogan

[@jamesfrench7299]

This makes me want to go back to 1979 like nothing else! I was in kindergarten at the time.

[@childrensorg856]

I'm about the same age and can still sing along to these ads.

[@glamnesianouveaux2039]

Me toooooo! I was 4 and I used to take off this ad even then. It has stayed with me till now.

[@AndrewW]

OMG This is the best commercial - and I have a bottle still at home. It's not cold as ice any more lol

[@shanethemuzz5060]

Well, put it in the damn bloody fridge or freezer, smartarse‼️

[@sexobscura]

was it ever

[@crossbj]

The 70's were the best

[@steveskrobot9496]

I cant believe I remember this. I was only 5 but it sticks in your brain

[@rogergreen9861]

Karen West, 1980 Australian Playboy Playmate of the Year, for those wondering.

[@videowilliams]

Ahh thank you, fellow Man of Culture.

[@keithwald5349]

For the life of me, I'll never understand why I stopped returning her calls. What in the heck was I thinking??

[@PlaAwa]

i remember this same ad making a surprise comeback in the late 80's

[@richard1963c]

This ad ran for at least 3 years. I had a thing for the little blondie on it, and I used to "study" her very hard! Hey, I was a teenager!

[@peecee1384]

Yes I reckon this was on TV in 1976 - I remember mum wanting to get me some and I was still in primary school.

[@Rikk_Klaww777]

I studied her very "hard" too..🥰😂👍

@AustralianAds The girl is Karen West. She was a model and made a number of guest appearances on the Paul Hogan show. She was also Playboy Playmate of the Year around 1981.

[@basedbattledroid3507]

The blonde sheila is the most 70s thing about it, reminds me of Delvine Delaney from Paul Hogan.

[@longhairedlayabout]

She's Karen West. She was also in Paul Hogan Show. She was in Arthur Dungas exercise skit.

[@mickcarson8504]

@@longhairedlayabout Yep, do we still have those type of women nowadays? Nah! Muslims stepped in and stopped all that, no more bikinis on the beaches, no more topless. Ha!

[@mickcarson8504]

@fred bloggs No Fred. Skin cancer stopped it. Femi nist stopped the rest and that was bad enough until Mus lims arrived and saw women with G-strings and they got offended enough to put an end to it, or else bom bs will fly. You forgot that, Fred?

[@mickcarson8504]

@fred bloggs Down cold Melbourne, Sir. I haven't seen a bikini sheila for nearly 30 years. All clothed down here. Times have changed, unlike Paul Hogan days 😕

[@mickcarson8504]

@fred bloggs Arent you so lucky, Fred? I lived in the Esplanade in St. Kilda 30 years ago. Lots of flappettes in those days. Now all I see are lots of Madonnas (Mus lims). I moved in the bush and all I see is lots of birds (feathered variety?

[@tjfaust]

Linked to my site's review of "baby it's you" by Promises, as girls like in this ad were the ones we were "watching"! Cheers and keep them coming! It is as cold as Ice and I still giggle when I see a bottle around today!

[@Audace1400]

I remember a bottle of this stuff hanging around in our closet up until the late 90s.

[@Maxxply]

She is - or closely resembles - Karen West. She appeared on the Paul Hogan Show when 1) Arthur Dunger does his push-ups and 2) Hoges parodies George Negus - she's the buxom babe in each of those scenes. Cheers.

[@Richo3121]

And she was perfection 🥰

[@australianenglishwithjason9518]

Is 0:20 the most seductive noise ever or what!?

[@pauliejay4161]

As a young boy, the blonde girl - ditzy as all hell. And then I needed five minutes to myself afterwards... I remember Ice Cologne. My family used it, and yes, it was cold as ice, for a few minutes.

[@Snaerffer]

That was the best stuff for getting ticks out too ….. just place the opened bottle over them and they backed right out!

[@NicholasDee]

wow....that takes me back . . .

[@806slidingdoors]

I love it! I remember this ad. Everyone likes the blonde best. Giggle

[@retrothingz]

The "young lass" (as our parents would have called her) at the end.. certainly gave teenage boys quite a......ahhh......lift

[@70s80sVidz]

Awesome...if only someone could find the 4711 ad that Sherbet did...OMG that would be amazing !

[@karenlou4794]

Type in Sherbet 4711 commercial

[@MrXcmaniac]

Superb! She's a great looking sheila in yellow and thats when there was no stupid political correctness which allowed this fine ad to be on TV and become a favourite amongst many Aussies.

[@Scottie_S]

@venuecam Funnily enough, I have a small sample bottle here that I have used and it hasn't dissolved any of my extremities that I have applied it to. I still have some left, and it actually still smells as good as it did when I got it.

[@thisistheendpt2]

You would put it on your temples and wrists and it would cool you down in Summer. It was amazing.

[@bradthurkle7217]

Great memories 👍

[@BigDadO4]

I think that's a young John Wood driving the truck!

[@Scottie_S]

I remember a 4711 ad that featured Daryl Braithwaite singing the jingle. Not sure if it was Sherbet doing the whole thing though, as it's been a while...

[@roachtoasties]

I was looking up "Cold as Ice" by Foreigner, and this came up. Maybe KZbin is telling me I'm late for my annual bath. The chick at 0:05 certainly isn't shy about herself. ;)

[@MNCPMSteve]

More like 0:20

[@odenknight2907]

Oh fook !! I rember that 🤣🤣🤣.. especially that girl on the bike

[@james_tiberius_kirk73]

My 12 year old self paid attention to this ad.

[@manchuriancandybar864]

As cold as menthol cigarettes.

[@ACDZ123]

I remember 4711 products collecting dust at the back of our bathroom cabinet basically the entire 70s..mum didn't use it obviously 😂

[@richie1957aus]

Brings back a lot of mammaries

[@shux422]

So cologne is meant to be smothered all over your forehead??? I've been getting it wrong all these years.

[@childrensorg856]

Was it supposed to be kept in the fridge? Lol.

[@peecee1384]

Of course - they want you to use it up so you have to buy more 🤣

[@lundsweden]

The had no aircon back then, brutal. Apparently underwear (especially bras) were hard to find too!

​@A.Sweden no air-conditioning ? . We had air-conditioning at our home in Australia in the 70s .

@germanicelt That Australia never died. I saw it yesterday at Renmark/Barmera Field Day in South Australia. Lovely people.

[@wombatcarey8628]

There was a version back around 1971 when a guy throws ice onto the back of a girl wearing a halter neck dress. I think Daryl Braithwaite sang the song.

[@fredo1070]

I'm sold

[@Loscha]

You can get plain 4711 in Au, I got some today for my Mum, thinking it was the "ICE" kind. It's available in the UK on eBay. Also; the woman with dark hair is Judy Nunn, Ailsa form Home and Away.

I know I'm 8 years late to this debate but there is no way that's Judy Nunn.
