... all together now ... 'Do the Shake N Vac and put the freshness back...' 'They asked me how I knew, it was Esso Blue, I of course replied, with lower grades one buys Smoke gets in your eyes' 'She flies like a bird in the sky-yyy She flies like a bird and I wish that she were mine ...' (for Nimble Bread) |

Oh, and I forgot this tongue twister of an ad: 'Chef square shaped soups show how a good soup should be!' Gosh, that reminds me of years ago, coming home for lunch from school and having Chef square shaped soups with bread dipped in LOL! |

'The Esso sign means happy motoring.... call at the Esso sign. Esso Extra!' And there was a little Esso man you could buy as a keyring. When I was a little girl in the '60s we lived for a while in Singapore and there was an advert for flour on TV I've never forgotten: 'Mrs Lee and Mrs Tan go to market every day, Fish to buy and vegetables too and of course wheat flour as well!' I think the spiel went on to talk about the benefits of wheat in comparison to rice. Ah, happy days! |
