so Christmas came around and an argument arose about my sanity, any1 remember an ad about butter and a maintenance guy spreading butter on a table corner and taking a bite out of it? it was on tv and magazines.

[@pampamtv4527]

I dont remember but hopefully someone else does

[@veesea8889]

Yes, absolutely I remember. I don't know if it was a Maintenance man , but a dude defoes spread-the-butter-on-the-desk-corner-and-took-a-bite-cos-why-not (I thought it looked yummy ☺)... I think there was another where a school teacher spread butter on the edge of the chalkboard (again, why wouldn't you?) and took a happie, that one didn't appeal to me, because teeth on a *_Chalkboard_* {{shudder}} I wanna say it was "Superior" butter/margarine.

[@threetowers5695]

@@veesea8889 Aaaaaaargh you right! The chalkboard!

[@veesea8889]

@@threetowers5695 Hahahaha! Oh good, so I didn't imagine such a horror. Chalkboard, honestly! Sadists 😉

[@threetowers5695]

@@veesea8889 ...so searching #bite #chalkboard #butter has made me realise that bringing this up at my next family gathering may well only further their cause of me being referred to the nearest sanatorium. Even while typing this msg Language Tool underlines bite and suggests: "Possible word confusion ‘bite’ (a mouthful) seems less likely than ‘byte’ (sequence of 8 bits). 😂

That VW ad and the song "... I'm passing on the memories..." Gosh now I'm sad😅 it hits

Now i am 66, divorced 25 years back, children married and overseas. Now i am fighting a new war. Those were the days....

Awesome to see especially since the RSA didn’t even start TV until 1976! Extremely interesting stuff to me especially since I used to listen to Radio RSA and used to receive a few different stations from the RSA especially local stations in the 60 meter band. Superb! That Volkswagen ad really got to me. Like to see more people get along like that.

for anyone who's never been to South Africa, the orange drink character in the Oros ad is saying "Naartjie" (Afrikaans word for a variety of tangerine), not "Nazi", as i had to tell a workmate 🙂
