…the future’s Orange.
These beautiful orange tulips reminded me of that slogan – although it is three years since the phone company ditched that ad [originally launched back in 1994]. I’m sure many other people have the phrase in their memories though.
Ads can fix themselves in your brain – Werther’s will always be “OAP toffees” for me, even though it is five years since Grandpa was pensioned off.
FOOD; Ah, Bisto!, Beanz Means Heinz, And all because the lady loves Milk Tray, Go To Work On An Egg
DRINK; Guinness is Good For You, Probably the Best Lager in the World, Heineken Refreshes The parts Other Beers Cannot Reach, Schhh-You Know Who
SMOKING ONES; Happiness is a Cigar called Hamlet, Players Please
FAST FOOD; I’m Lovin’ It, It’s The Real Thing, Finger Lickin Good, Lipsmackin' thirstquenchin' acetastin' motivatin' goodbuzzin' cooltalkin' highwalkin' fastlivin' evergivin' coolfizzin' Pepsi
BEAUTY PRODUCTS; Because You’re Worth It, Maybe She’s Born With It, Which Twin Has The Toni? [that’s a REALLY old one!]
MOTORING; The Car In Front Is A Toyota, You Can Be Sure Of Shell, Vorsprung Durch Technik
Some slogans have become quite separate from their original companies- which must have been frustrating for those who spent a fortune on the ad campaigns.
Naughty But Nice
A Diamond Is Forever
It’s Good To Talk
Say It With Flowers
[National Dairy Council, De Beers, BT and Interflora]
And what about the world of “Creatures in Adverts”
Smash Aliens, PG Tips Monkeys, Dulux Dogs, Andrex Puppies, and of course, Alexander the Meerkat.
These days I seem to watch all my TV ‘playing catch up’ with recorded programmes- so I zizz through the ad breaks [and if it is ‘real time’ I nip to the loo, or go and put the kettle on] I think I am not as aware of ads as I used to be.
This one used to worry me stupid when I was a little girl – how could his mother go off and leave the boy on his own like that? And what if the front door slammed as he stood at the gate and he couldn’t get in again? [especially if it started raining?] And what if she did forget? Anything could happen! And furthermore a woman who dressed up that smartly wouldn’t have had the milk on the table in a bottle would she? She would use a jug!
Which slogans do you remember – loved, or loathed?
