Vintage UK Food Product Adverts (Vol.3)

[@rafiqadarr6217]

Bisto - The good old days of actually sitting at a table to eat with your family, and no TV on in the background, just pleasant conversation whilst eating. I miss those days, and especially the 1980s. Even when I was older and had long left home, I still loved sitting at the kitchen table with my Mum with a plate of food, chatting about local news/or anything going on in the world - my Mum used to say, as she dished the food onto the plates and brought it to the table :-“Let’s have a bite to eat.” RIP Mum, I miss you and Dad.

[@RetroSteveUK]

Lovely memories. 🤗

[@Larry]

The irony that we're watching adverts on KZbin from the good old days, and all the adverts are promoting products from their good old days :D

[@RetroSteveUK]

Adverts. Interrupting the .. adverts. 😐

[@AndRewUK24]

Larry is everywhere. (Note I enjoy your KZbin channel)

[@newsbender]

That's not irony, everything was just better then.

That Mr Kipling fella can't half be busy with his oven ..😂

A lot bigger back then not the rubbish they sell today!

Bring back findus french bread pizza! Love them especially the chilli beef 1 😊

[@davidbowie2046]

Aldi do rip off one's though, sadly no chilli beef flavour :(

[@garrylawless3550]

You've done it again Steve, a fantastic compilation, I started feeling hungry watching them! Thank you.👍🏻

[@RetroSteveUK]

Those cherries in the Mr Kipling Bakewells got my mouth watering! 🤤🍒

[@shanditta1018]

Wonderful ads a great era

[@OofusTwillip]

Being right next to the river, the Wogans' house must have been very prone to mould and flooding.

[@RetroSteveUK]

Yeah, but I but they were easily able to afford to move.

[@MrDirkles]

You'll never become an estate agent with that attitude

[@mgthestrange9098]

Ahahahaha, that ending! You just unlocked a memory of McCain Southern Fries,, loved them. Also, the Cornish wafer advert reminded me of the country life butter one and those 2 products go well together. 😋

[@RetroSteveUK]

I always used to love spreading butter on a digestive biscuit. Sounds gross, but seriously .. just try it. 🍪🤤

[@mgthestrange9098]

@@RetroSteveUK yes, lovely, nice with cheese or Philidelphia too.

[@TheRetroManRandySavage]

Top quality adverts lol. I remember the vast majority of them well.

[@elainebeckford99]

I vaguely remember a bread advert where a farmer's wife's loaf of bread broke the table when it was put on the table. Another series featured a cartoon dragon advertising snaps crisps which were like quavers of today. I would be great to see the bread adverts.😃

[@RetroSteveUK]

One of the Snaps adverts with the dragon is on one of the other compilations. Sweets & Snacks (Vol.8) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6auaX6pa8aqm9Usi=KB5n3MOiRPonY6C8&t=148

[@elainebeckford99]

Any ideas on the farmer's wife and the heavy bread?@@RetroSteveUK

[@RetroSteveUK]

@@elainebeckford99 It rings a bell, but no solid memory of it I'm afraid.

[@darrenwells2277]

Seeing Mighty White bread brought back memories of many a School Packed Lunch!

[@HuntersMoon78]

Ok that's weird, I've just bought some Cornish Wafers this morning - haven't had them for yonks.

[@annabelleshortshort1126]

I loved the Menu Master ads as young child in the mid -late 1980s Remember. I remember having Menu Master Beef Stew and Dumplings at my late nanas not in the early /mid 1990s when I a stayed with her on exeat weekends from a vegetarian boarding school in the early 1990s. My parents only ever used Blue Band or original Flora both of which came under sunflower spreads.

[@danielsmith9817]

great collection

[@chriswaring5565]

THE ONE WITH THE RED SHIRT IN TEFAL AD LOOKS LIKE ANT MCPARTLIN WITH THE HIGH FOREHEAD

[@TheRetroManRandySavage]

HAHA! I was thinking megamind.😂

[@MrIanSellers]

Surely Terry Wogan had a bigger kitchen table than that 😂

[@RetroSteveUK]

The whole thing might have been a setup.

[@danbrown7562]

Always look forward to Fridays some nostalgia from Steve but bit worrying when you think Bernard Matthews looks well - he seemed ancient back then 😂

[@RetroSteveUK]

Is he still kicking about?

[@danbrown7562]

Afraid not Steve - 2010 apparently.

[@RetroSteveUK]

@@danbrown7562 🪦😢

[@mgthestrange9098]

His funeral was a bootiful service though.

[@bob-sb2zu]

Don't remember half of these but adverts tended to be regional back then .

[@discoverydolan5134]

Thanks mate❤❤❤❤❤

[@MrDannyDetail]

@9:37 I couldn't resist back-calculating the 112hours 10 minutes from 9, to arrive at that job offer taking place at 4:50 on a day that is five days earlier than their mutually agreed start date. Someone working on that advert's script must have actually figured that out to make sure it worked.

[@TheRetroManRandySavage]

I wish it were still possible to buy findus crispy pancakes in the curry mince flavour.

[@thomascook578]

Some great old products there, we had one of those delonghi fryers.

[@Ragg32]

Born 76…will 47 this year,I love watching this shit😂

I'll give you that! I also love watching this shit! 🤣

[@mgthestrange9098]

0:48 is that Jon Pertwee doing the Bisto advert?

[@RetroSteveUK]

I think you might be right.

[@thefrecklepuny]

I remember Mighty White bread. It tasted rather nice.

[@mattfrancis4569]

cool love from cornwall uk

[@TheRetroManRandySavage]

What happened to that mighty white bread. I remember asking my mum to buy that bread after I'd seen the advert. It was pretty darn tasty.

[@RetroSteveUK]

I don't remember seeing it in recent years, but I found this undated article which may or may not be current: dgi.co.uk/our-work/mighty-white/

[@TheRetroManRandySavage]

@@RetroSteveUK thanks buddy. 👍

[@CreamedCheesed]

Rumour has it Loyd Grossman started his own line of Pasta sauce so he didn’t have to appear in any more adverts!

[@OhioticketswithRobert]

Was the first ad done by James Hayter who played Mr. Tebbs in Are you being served?

[@RetroSteveUK]

Yes definitely. Funnily enough, he's getting a mention in the Top 10 Advert Catchphrases video I'm working on for my second channel. I literally just edited that part today!

[@OhioticketswithRobert]

@@RetroSteveUK just subscribed to the other channel.

[@RetroSteveUK]

@@OhioticketswithRobert Awesome! Thanks. I need all the subs I can get for that one. The top 10 video will be out this weekend. The edit is all but complete.

[@RIXRADvidz]

now I want some cheese. pepper jack or colby both in the fridge right now. I'm not susceptible, I'm just munchy. wink wink nudge nudge.

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

I agree with Homer about Marmite.

[@RetroSteveUK]

As do I. 😑

[@Strengthoftenmen]

Please can you help me, I’m looking for an old Polo mint advert. There’s a guy in the desert crawling through the sand muttering “water, water” and then gets splashed with water. He then says “Polo, Polo.” ?

[@RetroSteveUK]

I remember that one, but it hasn't come across my 'desk' yet. If it turns up, it'll go on one of the Sweets & Snacks compilations.

[@Strengthoftenmen]

@@RetroSteveUKbrill, glad I’m not going crazy remembering it then. Thanks very much. Keep up the good work, really enjoying watching your videos!

[@jwb52z9]

Ya know, usually, I'd say that the US holds the "record" for advertising that convinces people to eat things that are not technically food, but I think only the British could successfully market and sell a byproduct/waste product of beer production as if it were a food.

[@RetroSteveUK]

That explains why it tastes so BAD !! (I'm in the 'hate it' camp for marmite, although I love Twiglets which is weird as they're supposed to be made of the same stuff.)

[@jwb52z9]

@@RetroSteveUK Oh, I always assumed twiglets were pretzels. lol

[@RetroSteveUK]

@@jwb52z9 Pretzels are lush too, but definitely different from Twiglets. I think the inner dried bread-ish part is the same, but Twiglets are coated with a brown, sticky, yeasty substance, apparently similar to Marmite.

I feel hungry now. 😋 Does Findus still exist?

Yeah, and the same logo too, it seems.

Not so much Findus as find us.

Bernard Matthews didn’t say ‘bootiful’. Very disappointing

I was also disappointed. How dare he! 😂
