[@HostileButHonourable]

Strange how an ad can transport you back to childhood. The best ad ever?.... Probably.

[@westermolad]

Visited Venice for the first time yesterday and came across a street musician playing O Sole Mio on his accordion, which instantly transported me back in time to this Cornetto advert. Who says advertising doesn't work!

[@alex-xz2dm]

u you are c5 in 2013 shit this is a soap a no cgi dave a you w the ad c broke out in aid in cr uk haha

[@barryjackson7404]

Wow the schools really failed you my friend

[@garglee]

I was on a gondola in Venice and someone started singing this and our driver said this happens all day

[@jamboxify]

That's one of the best parodies I've seen!

[@oceaneyes1964]

This was the song Princess Diana said she had in her head the morning of her wedding...Poor thing, she would have been better off with a cornetto than the conehead she marrried!

Dominic Thompson nicely done.

[@sweetlorraine6982]

Haha 😅

[@fildegauche]

I showed this to my Italian neighbour, who sings the "proper" version, expecting him to be grossly offended, but on the contrary, he thought it was a hoot and fell about! In fact, it's not an opera song, but an old neapolitan song that's often given an "operatic" treatment.

[@tomaszskowronski1406]

We're Richmond till we die! We know we are! We're sure we are! We're Richmond till we die!

[@therealrodhull1]

A true classic! One of the most memerable ads of the era.

[@SuperTed19021]

When UK TV advertisers actually *knew* how make proper adverts and memorable jingles. Not just one-joke mascots that will grain after 3 years, let *alone* 3 decades.

[@therealrodhull1]

@@SuperTed19021 Exactly! Today's adverts are just bland (and a bit overly-tokenised too).

[@boltonkiwi]

The actress is Kika Markham, who has started in countless TV programmes over the years

[@TibetanFox68]

She was nice looking back then. I thought her and Jan Francis were a bit similar when I was a kid.

[@engji4029]

Mom:I’m going to the store... you want anything ? Me:JUST ONE CORNEEEEEETOOOOOOO

[@leonblank8478]

Cornettos were a real treat when I was a nipper. Not so much now. Used to love the solid lump of chocolate in the base of the cone.

[@littleniyah]

A treat! used to get one once a year! A Yorkie bar: that was the super-treat. When the ice-cream van came round, you'd always want a 99 but your mam would demur and say you had one last month. They didnt want you to get spoiled. It was the ice-cream of Satan. And mums ate tubs with little spoons but that wasnt manly enough for dads. Dads ate wafers so they had to bite through the ice cream and endure the frozen-tooth agony, manfully.

Leon Blank they still do 😂

[@leonblank8478]

@@eleanorshaw8005 . Eleanor is a beautiful name. Not a creepy internet message, just thought I will state the fact.

One of my all-time favorite commercials!

[@TibetanFox68]

I wonder how often the average gondolier has to listen to "just one Cornetto" being sung by a British tourist? 😆😆😆

[@wandawizard1]

The old ads are the best!

[@TinyHayley90]

still song this to this day :D

[@admiralandy1983]

best advert ever

[@mattayres5238]

I always sing...."One cornetto give it to me!! ....no chance matey it's £3.50 eeeeee! But one cornetto give it to me....no chance matey it's now £9.50eeeeeee!!" 🤣🤣🤣

[@chazwalker7156]

Just one Cornetto, give it to me, you must be joking...they're 50p < is what we used to sing...back in't day - ahhhh, cheers for the (great) memories; we were skint, but we were happy < priceless!!!!!!!

[@markproctor8857]

Really used to have the hots for Kika Markham back in the day.

Me too she was gorgeous

[@pleasantlyscented3392]

I was going on a gondola and someone starting singing this at us The driver was offended for some reason

[@davidbentley4032]

Sung this to the Italian fans at EUROs 1980. They didn't get it.

[@Kavafy]

This is Neapolitan, so from the opposite end of Italy to Venice... but hey it's fun

[@mrgobrien]

Things I didn't spot in 1979;He takes the Cornetto with his left hand, but then it is in his right handShe looks forward afterwards, but then is instantly looking round at himThe continuity over the bite marks she makes - all over the placeSo an Anorak like me would never get lucky with a woman like her in Venice - and I never did(Those upset that he is singing a Neapolitan song in Venice should see the other Cornetto ad set in Rome)

[@kgproductions7288]

We have cornetto in the philippines....it was a success when it was launched!

[@timataan]

on the day of Princess Diana's wedding, this ad showed up on the tv, so the princess and her bridesmaids started to sing this song loud

[@chatnshar]

Tima Taan: Yep! She sang it to her make-up artist as she was getting into the coach. :)

[@JoeBleasdaleReal]

POV: a non-Brit is playing their favourite Italian song, “O Sole Mio”, which their British friend dismisses with “…isn’t that the Cornetto song?” 😂😂😂

[@phampton6781]

A memorable ad which itself inspired an equally famous Boddingtons ad parody of course ("Gondolas")

[@MoBasit568]

Most beautiful song ever! 🥲

[@SuperTed19021]

This looks *just like* when I visited Venice with my family in August 2014. Damp, dreary weather whilst travelling around on a gondolier. But it *was such* a hell of an experience. Some days it was scorching hot, other days it was chucking with rain. We then went to Verona (70 miles away from Venice) for a few days afterwards, and that stay was *boiling* every day!

Who remembers "Esso sign means happy motoring" to a tune in "Les Toreadors" from Bizet's "Carmen" (geddit?!) Suite No. 1?

[@G6JPG]

I remember the Esso sign jingle, but to a tune I don't associate with Carmen. (The above line repeated three times, ending "Call at the Esso sign.")

[@cloudstrife1983]

They brought back this song.

[@johndrake2729]

[@twinsuns957]

Like how Dolmio cooking sauces claim to be authentically Italian when they're probably made in a big factory in Denmark.

[@EricEbac22]

This sounds like "It's Now Or Never" by Elvis Presley.

[@ilikezappa3268]

That is because the tune is "O Sole Mio " , which is a famous folk song from Naples ( I think) . Elvis`s songwriters copied it . You owe me a pint now .
