Vintage UK Sweets & Snack Adverts (Vol.3)

[@michaelrawson6261]

Brilliant dose of nostalgia, proper sized products, girls looked like natural girls, loads of fun, fanciful and enjoyable ad ideas and no bloody charities, life insurance or funeral services. In fact compared to today's crap, ads of these days on this video were often as entertaining as the show you were watching!!!!!!!

[@someoneelsewhere32]

Oh to be back then, when chocolates tasted like real chocolate and not artificial like it does now. Thank you for bringing back so many happy memories.

[@leeoasis1982]

Pure nostalgia, I’d love to for just one day to go back

[@CEP73]

Yup! In fact, take me back and leave me there!!

[@natashafletcher9994]

Me too

[@ianholmes3761]

If I knew what I know now 😭

[@derekporter7658]

I'd stay in the 70s and 80's in perpetuity!

[@sharpy5550]

Ditto 👍😃

[@stephen2583]

Finger of Fudge is one of the all time greatest ads. The face that kid pulls has me in tears every time. Hilarious.

[@richardcook3310]

That Smarties advert was way ahead of its time

[@garrywitcomb2334]

Better days,sadly passed Great memories,thanks for posting 😊👍 Made me smile from start to finish !

[@RetroSteveUK]

I'd like to think we could have better days to come, but it's hard to be optimistic, all things considered.

[@Rickstar1966]

When sweets were full size and full of chocolate goodness, no palm oil rubbish in them.....

[@stevedickson5853]

And when a wagon wheel was .. bigger, also miss chocolate yoyo's, mint or toffee flavour

[@Rickstar1966]

Steve Dickson Yes when a Wagon Wheel was as big as a Wagon Wheel, and not the size of a roller skate wheel LOL 😂

[@Rickstar1966]

Newsbender Oh yes, when you had a Brazil Nut in your Purple One and not a crack nut LOL

[@paulworgan6599]

Mmmmmmm chocolate goodness!

[@wondertriplover]

oh because they didn't advertise glucose

[@brianbickle7395]

Ah Quality Street!! When you got a decent size tin!!

[@bash786ali7]

These take one back , to their childhood. It was much better then, plus the adverts were nice😊...I believe these are from the 80s... remember several or more .

[@stephenjerome4135]

Wow this takes me back. Such a great collection of classic TV ads from the past. Who can forget that cadburys caramel one? Such a gem. And I can still remember when I was a kid singing to the finger of fudge one. I memorised every word. Ha ha... those were the days. Thanks for the memories.

[@RetroSteveUK]

Finger of Fudge was definitely a schoolyard favourite. That tune stayed with us for decades!

[@shaun2463]

Haluf moon... TODAL ECLEEPSE. What a classic.

[@thefog7067]

Ahh the days when you could serenade a lady just enough to steal her Cornetto 😂

[@keithnaylor1981]

This brilliant tv idea deserves an award!!!

[@bencoleman8350]

I find it quite amusing the fact that we come on KZbin to escape TV adverts nine times out of 10 we end up skipping adverts on KZbin but I can sit here and watch these no problem😂

[@RetroSteveUK]

Nostalgia does funny things to our brains. 🤪

[@robedmunds7163]

Funny how current adverts are so annoying breaking up your program, but I was happy to watch these.

Walkers dare not put a see through part in the packet now as you wouldn't see anything!

[@RetroSteveUK]

I totally agree! Everything's getting smaller except the packaging.

[@CoolDudeClem]

I feel so old remembering most of theese.

[@stevedickson5853]

Miss the white wrapping on lion bars, and that only smarties have the answer ad, total blast from the past

[@olikane530]

Plenty of light hearted antics 😀

[@garethbramley1]

A nice mixed bag of commercials here Retro. Excellent quality too. Thanks.

[@RetroSteveUK]

Cheers. 👍🏼

[@billygillan821]

Look at the size of them,days when Mars bars had thick chocolate,and all chocolate was good,happy days as a kid,great video of happy times,when sweets and snacks could be put away for lunch,and the fun adverts,with actors in many you loved

[@RetroSteveUK]

It breaks my heart now when opening a chocolate bar and it's barely half the width/height it used to be. Are we not supposed to notice? It's the same with a lot of consumable products now. Toothpaste is a good example; half way through the tube as you're squeezing, you get this 'POP' when the half-inch pocket of air that was in the middle finally reaches the nozzle. I think we're definitely being 'misled' in the name of profit margins.

[@taraelizabethdensley9475]

Watching these with a big grin, i'd forgotten so many of these

[@electricshrapnel4368]

The fudge ad is the last of the true English aesthetic

[@kevn9002]

just watched 4 of these vids now sweets, toys, beer and christmas adverts all good so much nostalgia

[@StillABigKid]

I'd been racking my brain for years trying to remember the Novo bar! Thank you for uploading this.

Peter Skellern sung the Jingle for Black Magic boxed chocolates, based on Ray Noble's 1930s standard Love Is The Sweetest Thing as made famous by the Roy Fox orchestra.

[@steveryder1442]

The Cadbury's Caramel ad I remember very well

[@ticketyboo2456]

Stephen Ryder I seem to remember Miriam Margolyes voiced her.

[@jwb52z9]

You're so lucky that you can get the original Cadbury. The American division was sold off and they changed all the recipes to supposedly better fit American tastes, so none of it tastes the same anymore for Americans.

[@BenG1874]

Total eclipse! I’ve been laughing, for 30 minutes!!

[@thefrecklepuny]

Forgot how the Lion Bar wrapper looked like the MGM logo!

[@Winston.Smith101]

Great selection; I remember all ... 🤗

I really bloody love that Planters advert

[@ginagina9720]

I remember them all except the novo but great nostalgia thanks 🙏 for sharing

[@jonathonrowley3535]

I’m really conflicted, am I pleased that I remember all these ads and it brings back great memories or am I disappointed that I remember all these ads because I spent too much time in front of the TV ? I’m a sucker for nostalgia……Subscribed.

[@RetroSteveUK]

I'd go with pleased over disappointed. Embrace the nostalgia! 🤗

[@davidbalmer712]

You can't beat a finger of fudge.🤪

[@storm3698]

Great ads. If a person, punk or otherwise stood right next to me at an atm,i would tell them to move.

[@ImminghamIronhead]

What's weird about this is the one or two ads I don't remember at all; I was clearly staring at my dads' telly long enough to memorize the others.

Paul Bown from "Watching" on the first toffee crisp advert in this compilation.

[@ticketyboo2456]

I still adore Angel Delight.

[@lillianflorence6056]

Nice

[@garethbramley1]

I see I never made any observations on this one. Miriam Margoyles voiced the 'Mr. Beaver' Caramel ad. Kika Markham in the Cornetto ad. The lady in the Walkers Crisps ad is well known but I can't recall her name right now. The Devil in Kit Kat ad played by Ken Campbell and the Angel was P. G. Stephens! 'Finger of Fudge' jingle written by Mike D'Abo(ex- Manfred Mann). 'Mr. Kipling'' voiceover by James Hayter. Mel Smith in the Terry's ad.

[@RetroSteveUK]

The Walkers Crisps lady was Janice Long, famous and well-loved radio DJ. Strange coincidence; I uploaded this video the day before she passed away. :(

[@garethbramley1]

That's her! :-D

[@garethbramley1]

Mean to say that if I have missed commenting on any other series clips please advise and I'll do so.

[@RetroSteveUK]

@@garethbramley1 No probs. Someone did a video commentary on one of my compilations, unexpectedly: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jX65q2mrhbFmsMk Have you thought about putting out a video along those lines? You seem to have the knowledge.

[@garethbramley1]

Crikey - I'll watch this later. I think I'll stick with my present system. Thanks. You can always PIN the comment so it stays at the top of the comments and underneath your description. There are so many faces in these ads that ring bells but naming them is another thing!

[@camelia9802]

Cadbury caramel was 😋

[@bigjj1109]

All those products tasted so well back then now they are just full of sugar!

[@brianbickle7395]

Why did crisps taste much better in the cellophane wrapper, much nicer than in the new foil ones ??

[@paulcrombie9623]

Those were the days when a bag of crisps was a bag of crisps, not a quarter of a bag!

Do you mean not quite yet? Autocorrect I presume.

That is what I meant , thanks for the correction 😉😁😂😂

[@RetroSteveUK]

@@ryanmeads6302 Nah, it's cool. 😆 For all I knew it could have been 'yet' that was autocorrected. That ad is 23 years old now. I guess vintage is in the eye of the beholder. Absolute classic. Couldn't not include it, really. Good to get the feedback, cheers. 👍

I have a new lodger, for Amy fans. He's 30 so was not around in the 80s. He has a lovely son who really enjoys playing with my old Lego. They both love these old videos but the finger of Fudge one - both of them said "er, isn't that a bit dodgy?" The cats don't care.

[@oo0024]

I didn’t think the Cadbury’s fudge tasted like fudge I always thought it was sugary crap and I was disappointed if I got a bunch on Christmas 😂

[@lordtwo-a-penny3364]

I was disappointed to find that the makers of "Jaffa Cakes" have replaced the orange wrapper that contains the cakes inside the box, with a plain one.

[@jwb52z9]

When I watch a video like this, it makes me wish getting any of these in the US was easy and could be done directly. The couple of brands in this video we get in the US are either not the same flavors or the recipe is different, so it doesn't taste the same.

[@thomascook578]

Dont remember novo. Was Cadbury Milk Box a predecessor to Milk Tray?

The Milk Chocolate Box was released by Terry's, probably as a competitor to Cadbury Milk Tray.

[@AndreiTupolev]

What was the storyline behind the Toffee Crisp one? That he doesn't have any money, but in compensation he gets a tasty chocolate snack? Or is it an empty wrapper, and the implication is that the cashpoint, or perhaps the person inside it, is enjoying a Toffee Crisp rather than doing its or their job? 🤨

[@RetroSteveUK]

I remember those ads at the time. There were a whole run of them. The impression I got was that it was the 'little person' inside the machine having a Toffee Crisp.

I wonder if the Smarties people HAD calculated how many it would take to fill the whole of Wembley? What if someone had asked them? If they'd taken a wild guess - "Oh, about 10 million" - and they'd been wrong, would the Advertising Standards people have been on to them?

[@RetroSteveUK]

I'd like to see the staff at advertising standards trying to fill the whole stadium with Smarties just to double check!
