You know, here at '80s Actual, we always go the extra mile for our adoring fans (bless you both!), but a question we received in early December had us stumped:
'80s were the decade of the Shake and Vac woman, "We hope it's chips, it's chips", BT (Beattie), "We've got the Jewson lot", "Co-Co Pops, Mr Spock", and so on. But this is driving me crazy. I recall a TV ad from around the late 1980s for a deodorant in which people put their hands up if they used it, but lowered them if they didn't. I know it sounds mad, but it's true, I swear it! I can't find it anywhere. Do you remember it?
Well, dear reader, I recall a lot of the 1980s through a kind of haze... colourful, eventful, youthful times for me and pretty chaotic, so I didn't. But I put a call out, explored YouTube and I think I've found it. It's from 1986 and is for Right Guard - and I recall it now. Very witty jingle, which I've now got stuck in my head. I've been going around singing it all day. Is this it? Would be more than a tad grateful if you'd let me know! x
I love the catchy jingle...the couple running towards eah other rings a bell..
ReplyDeleteThe jingle is still stuck in my head, Peter! It's infuriatingly catchy! I remembered the ad when I saw it. Great fun. Wish it was 1986 again! Oh, to be twenty-one-years-old! Great days for me.
DeleteHope you used Right Guard, pops! Lol!
ReplyDeleteUsed just about everything on the market - you should have seen my bathroom cabinet! No nasty niffs for me! :)
