what's an old commercial you still remember to this day?

funny how most people hate ads, and yet in my brain, I can still remember so many of the ad jingles and things from the 90s - 2000s UK ads.

In fact, there's even something weirdly nostalgic about some of them.

Cornetto ice cream ads, the Renault ads with Nicole and papa, or the tango man.

I think probably the one I remember most was the Chicken Tonight ads lol.

What are some you guys remember?

I have to say, they were an improvment over the shitty Temu ads using ai voice translation i get blasted with now!

The Hovis and, with the lad pushing his bike up the hill, always sticks in my mind. And the JR Hartley Yellow Pages adverts. Loved those.
