Hannah Howe

Advertising in the 1960s.

In 1961, 84% of viewers approved of television advertising.

Do you remember these campaigns?

Can you tell the difference between Stork SB and butter?
“Shh…you know who.” - Schweppes Tonic Water.
Put a tiger in your tank. - Esso.
“Happiness is…a Hamlet cigar.”
Persil washes whiter.
Everyone’s a fruit and nutcase - Cadbury’s chocolate.

Can you think of any others?

A Mars a day helps you work rest and play.

@HannahHowe Interesting how many of those were running almost unchanged over a decade later.

@BigJackBrass @HannahHowe I think the Esso one lasted well into the late eighties- the laighties- and early nineties.
