A 1992 hit with all the prerequisite uniform: perm, big earrings and a lot of PVC. I love the setting for this video - how exactly do you book a missile launch platform? The German duo Snap! were responsible for this club hit and UK number 1 as well as The Power which was another […]

I can push a Push Pop, can you push a Push Pop?
I remember these Push Pops being advertised at us very cynically during children’s TV shows so much that my mates and I all rushed out to the shops to buy them.
We soon learned that Push Pops tasted pretty horrible and also, probably owing to […]

Levi’s continued their advertising history with a little yellow puppet that aimed to shift more of their jeans. The music and the furry little fiend took the world by storm - topping the charts and bringing out a popular imitation puppet. The response was so immense that Levi’s broke their one-campaign-only rule and brought Flat […]

The Mr Bombastic Levi’s advert was hugely popular in the nineties as the cartoon was clever and funny, but mostly as the soundtrack was so incredibly sexy. Everyone wanted to use it for their program features, soundtracks and parties. Apparently this is the Sting remix of Shaggy’s classic. A great excuse to grind and an […]

Don’t you just love this classic?
Girl (thinking): I wish, I wish I had a lovely surprise.
Boy (thinking): Something to play with -and some chocolate.

This steamy hot summer advert gave hundreds of guys a bright idea for how to break the ice. Stuck on a long-haul journey with a pretty girl opposite? Just hand over half a stick of chewing gum:

Nobody really likes them and you get them every Christmas, but somehow Ferrero Rocher exude the aspirations of middle-class housewives everywhere with their gold wrappers and ability to be stacked into pyramids. I have a friend who once mentioned that she was enjoying a particular Ferrero Rocher only to be given an entire box every […]

In 1972 a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn’t commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else […]

An item of big time nostalgic value: that milk advert.
“Milk, yeurgh!”
Advertising milk to children must be the stuff of nightmares for any marketer, but somehow those who produced this classic early 90s TV ad hit the mark so well that they entered an entire generation’s psyche.

Linford Christie, the (only?) Olympic Gold Medal winning British 100 metre sprinter wore some tremendous Puma contact lenses during the 1990s. This was soon stomped on by the authorities as “advertising”, but I admire his moxy to this very day.
Whether or not the powers that be banned the use of the lenses, they were pretty […]

“They’re lighter than ordinary chocolate” the French ballet dancer says as she floats onto the stage for another fantastic performance. What you don’t know is that her Russian trainer and pushy mum have worked her for an extra 6 hours because of that calorie loaded treat. I think I just liked her accent more than […]
