I remember some of these as if it was yesterday they were on TV, time goes so quick.

This is absolutely brilliant - the days when an announcer could make a joke such as: grab hold of something, even the mother-in-law. 😂

Galaxy tasted sooooo good back then 🍫 😋

I haven’t been to Huckleberry’s and now I feel my life is less complete.

I think I actually watched these advertisements and it was the first time I watched the Omen. It was on my black and white television in my bedroom when I was a kid as my parents wouldn’t allow me to watch it with them because I was too young

A young Mark Curry advertising Eggs!

Used to love me a bit of Tip Top! Can't find it for love nor money now 😞

[@michellezimmermann9160]

I can’t think of the actors name, but the gent in the Gold blend advert really gave me the creeps as the character he played in the 1978 film “The Legacy” 😱 Fantastic classy actor. ❤

The voiceover was done by Michael Jayston who died earlier this year. Fantastic actor with a distinctive voice.

Where did it all go wrong?

Happy Times

[@rotonda4068]

Was it really worth fading up the ident sound for one note?

[@brucedanton3669]

Indeed so then there too of course as well?!
