I can think of commercials that I can remember almost verbatim from the 70's, even if that product is no longer sold. A catchy tune, a short pithy, memorable phrase and/or memorable character is all it takes to hook our memory and we hold on to it forever, I guess. It's funny, sometimes, to go back and look at the fashions in those old commercials and wonder, "what were we thinking?" LOL I know that back in the 70s in the US we were going through what I can only describe as a "fashion coma." Ha ha!! The '80s hairstyles are pretty hard to beat too. But yeah, you are right about the ads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shiloh, your signature picture of "Les Deplorables" would make a great front cover on a cereal box. Under that logo would be printed . . . . .
