I'm looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes

[venta]

It being a little chilly in our office at present, I've taken to having a mug of instant soup with my lunchtime sarnies. I get the packet out of the box in the drawer, and trot down the kitchen to the hot-water dispenser. As I go, I sing to myself... Nobody makes... soup in a cup... like Bachelors' Cup-a-Soup. Every bloody day.

That hasn't been their advertising slogan for a number of years. And it's not even Bachelors' anyway, it's some cheap knock-off called Soup in a Mug. Yet still I can't so much as look at the things without bursting into song.

Anyone else find themselves cartwheeling into advertland each time they see a particular product ?

Bran flakes.

(And no, I don't buy them. Because they're really not.)

Do I even know a Bran Flakes advert ?

<thinks a bit>

<googles>

Good heavens, was that Bran Flakes ? I'd no idea.

I like them, but they're 'spensive, 'spensive, very very 'spensive so I buy own brand ones instead :)

I'm pretty sure that Gertrude had Kellogg's in mind when she suggested that one can protest too much.
