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 ?

That is also my main association with Trebor - and I grew up a long way from your school. Obviously good slogans travel a long way!

Also famous as a Trebor slogan in Wirral.

And the "if you like a lot of chocolate on your biscuit join our club" is the (whoops, can't say that out loud any more) -est slogan ever.

There were quite a few choccy biccy adverts which lodged in my head. I couldn't see a Bandit without yelling "You've robbed me of my Bandit!" - but fortunately I don't think they make them any more.

Ohh yes. And Trio, with that Suzie character who would shout TRIIIIIO! TRIIIIIOOOOO! I have got to stop yodelling that whenever anybody mentions playing with two other musicians.

"Suzie's too loud, so we locked her in this soundproof booth..."
