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 ?

I think I'd go for the more recent "You only get a hug from a Batchelors mug", but I take your point.

I can't buy Covonia cough mixture without wanting to sing out "Covo-o-o-nia!" like on the ad.

I don't think I've ever seen/heard that. I always think of Covonia as being a very old-fashioned brand, so I'm faintly surprised it even has TV ads.
