Rowntrees Fruit Pastles

Rowntrees Fruit Pastles Gotta chew

"Not bad,but i bet you can`t put one of these Fruit Pastles in your mouth without chewing it" An absolute classic!. :D

[@MrDannyDetail]

Interesting that this version has an almost clear picture (allowing for the fact it is VHS quality) and the version being currently used on tv has black film blobs and other picture defects on it. Could they have deliberately aged the version in the advert to make it seem even more retro than it really is?

[@kezadrone]

Funny how the kid sounds better educated than the kids now .

[@kezadrone]

I see they added the scratched film to this for TV. I suppose they don't want anyone thinking it's new. I remember this one though.

[@lurch721]

I've seen another advert from this campaign on youtube which was dated September 1983, so I waould imagine it's from then.

[@sptol]

The original Fruit Pastilles ad with basketball player Bobby Kinzer was aired in 1980 which is the one being screened now with the original ending where the kid says "Bit of a tall order was it?????" This is the 1988 version which cuts the original end cue

Pleased to say that I saw this advert whilst watching Big Brother tonight on CH5. Now its Nestle/Rowntrees turn to bring back classic ads.

[@13WildGoose]

The player is Bobby Kinzer. He played point guard for Falkirk.

[@eastenders25yrsfan]

its now back on tv in the uk . just seen it now

[@floatingspirit2009]

i am on the understanding it is actually Bobby Kinzer.

[@shaunyboy1968]

What year did this advert first get screened?

[@Zlervo]

Fruit pastilles not the same anymore, they have a slight after taste.

[@daviddawkins1]

Sadly, they removed the ´´cow dung´´ they used to put in them. Never did us any harm did it?? :)

[@MateuszTrocha]

The kid's voice is so annoying!

[@MateuszTrocha]

Yes, well "chavs" are just as annoying. And I would know, living in Essex.
