Sitting at the computer on one of Melbourne’s 33C hotties I started thinking about TV ads that were part of my life and what was taking place in said life when ads were being shown advertising various products . I’ll put the list below . See if you know the products being advertised from the hints given below . Will put answers in this post around 30th November . We are all consumers , hence we are on this forum . Some will be easy for you . Some hard hard to pick .

Not cool. Taken years, nay decades to get them out of my head - now there they are, all dropped in to say hello like old friends I thought were dead … Not the mention the therapy

Well done. I thought I might have been the last to remember the Uncle Sam gems. I especially loved the one in the double deck bus giving deodorant to Chinese and Russian soldiers with a ‘you need Uncle Sam’ - amazing it does not pop up on a simple YouTube search… The irreverence was brilliant.
Typo error .Still must be recovering from my op . Must have anaesthetised me real hard . I mean’t the 30th November . My bad All done and dusted now . You can enjoy your Christmas Tamas .
Does anyone know why Cadbury’s changed their ad for the little girl buying the chocolate bar with buttons and icons…….she used to get her horse back as ‘change’ now she gets no change
Heh it’s a recent ad. The little girl goes into a store to purchase a block of chocolate. She pays with various items like buttons and a toy horse. The original had the shopkeeper handing the horse back. The girl then goes outside and hands the block to her mother and says something to the effect of “Happy Birthday Mum”, the shop keeper then smiles.
Yes, it might be a Vic Bitter add, however it was also an add for Bulimba Gold Top (just a few words adjusted), originally a product of the Queensland Brewery Ltd and produced in Brisbane.
CUB acquired the brewery and brands in 1961?
CUB continued to brew the drop and used the same add formats in Vic and Qld. Gold Top vanished. CUB later set about trying to convert Queenslanders and reinvent Vic Bitter (VB) colloquially know as ‘the green death’ using the same jingle!
Subsequently unwary southerns would full of good intents and hospitality turn up to BBQs etc in the north ladder with the stuff. No such thing as a bad beer?
Gold Top was the worst Aussie beer I have ever tasted.
When I was a teenager, a group, of us who were at a course at the tech college in Brisbane went for a pub crawl around the CBD one night back when the pubs were either XXXX or Carlton but we came across one that served only Gold Top on tap.
We all walked out disgusted.
Some of the other pubs had great entertainment. We saw Max Merrit & The Meteors performing in one venue and Billy Thorpe & The Aztecs performing at another.
