Answer 3

I loved the Cadbury's Flake advert where the woman is sitting in a meadow and painting in watercolours, then it rains and the song is "Only the crumbliest flakiest chocolate tastes like chocolate you've never tasted before" (If I remember right!).
I also liked the Sure deoderant ones, although they were really stupid ... a beautiful woman lies in a sauna and they put this huge tropical leaf on her back with the tick sign representing the product cut out, and spray that part with the deoderant. Then she is all sweaty but the sprayed part is dry! So unbelievable and silly, but nicely done!
And there was another one for a deoderant which I liked - a race of female sprinters ... but I can't remember that one very well.
And who could forget Arthur, the white cat, eating his food with his paw. After he died, they replaced him with another white cat, but nobody was fooled!
And the little Andrex puppy ....
Bet you wish you hadn't asked this now!
Oh I just remembered that peas song ... was it Birds Eye?
Something "peas, sweet as the moment when the pod went pop!"

Growing up in Los Angeles, we had pizza parlor signs that read: Had a Piece Lately? It was hilarious & cutting edge in the late 60's & early 70's! I can't remember the actual name of the business, yet I do remember the sign & the words! Loved it! It was part of the old "sex sells" ad campaigns!
