    The Gorilla one is rubbish - I don't even know what it was advertising.

    That R. Whites advert must be the best ever - I'd never heard of it before then - made me go out and buy some.

    It does need some clues - some adverts are so obscure - if it doesn't jump out straight away then they won't sell the product. Except for the Guiness adverts of course - they are always brilliant - and when you see them the first time you're not sure what on earth they are on about.

    cadburys - cadburys - cadburys - well thats three bars I've sold then :)

    Used to be one long musical going round Asda as a kid, me my brother and sister singing all the adverts as we went round the supermarket

    I too didn`t have a clue what they were advertising with the gorilla at first but I still liked it. The guinness ones-couldn`t abide those except the ones with the german guy. ( german sounding name)

    Have searched but can't find the coffee advert where all the girls
    stand in their office near the window at eleven o'clock waiting to see this
    workman :wink: come down the ladder - was it Nescafe or Maxwell House?
    Was about the same era as the Levi jeans/launderette advert I think.

    Coke??[​IMG]

    No, definitely coffee. You wouldn't have a crowd of office girls
    all drinking coke and sighing as a 'pin-up' workman climbed down
    the ladder past their window.
    I think it was whispered ' it's eleven o'clock' from one to another in
    explanation of the gathering.
    Sounds a bit naff but it equalled the levi jeans being removed in the
    launderette and put in the washing machine :hehe:

    Yes! that's it, they did one or two that were almost the same.

    I could have sworn it was a coffee advert .

    Thankyou YDD - I would have looked forever in the coffee section!!!

    Diet Coke break ;) - sorry, you were right Nathan:dh:

    Of course, they were all after his can of coke!!:lollol:
