Mum had, so I have, a homepride men salt and pepper mill. Loved the little Lurpak man with his trombone (Douglas?) and trying to learn the words to the 'Um Bungo' advert. Back then, adverts were about fun and catchy ways to get your attention, rather than some bored didn't quite get there film maker trying to send a message which isn't about the product.
They also were proper ads like food ads,positioning and everything ads are all done but thingy..techy tit.

Do you mean the Gold Blend adverts with Anthony Head and his female neighbour?
Years ago I got a book from the library sale for about 10p that was a novelisation of those adverts. I read it on holiday and it was bloody awful.

The python picked the passion fruit, the Marmoset the Mandarin.

I can't remember important stuff but I remember all that.

The ads clearly worked better cos everyone remembers them in detail.

Doubt I'll be able to do that with all the funeral/nasty/deliberately provocative ones.

I confused my friend’s kid the other day when I found a bottle of Sunny D in their fridge.

‘Sunny D?! Thanks mom!’ 😂😂😂

Had them googling up the infamous orange skinned kids stories. 😂 We had them going that it was true.
