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 ?

Good grief. I very occasionally sing that when confronted with chips/onion rings/frozen peas/etc, but I had absolutely no idea what it was advertising. I vaguely thought it was oven chips.

Edit: of course, that's pretty good marketing for what's fundamentally a funny-shaped burger.
