Your Favourite Food & Drink TV Ad - Olive MagazineDear reader panellist,Thanks so much to all of you who have got involved in the magazine so far - whether you've shared your favourite restaurant with us or volunteered to test a recipe or a menu, the olive team really appreciate all your input. This month we'd like to ask you about your favourite food and drink TV adverts. We want to put together a list of your all time favourites, whether it's a classic Cadbury's flake moment or a more modern 'Wassupp?' from Budweiser. We've put together a long list of 20 of the most long-lived and influential food and drink ads of the last 30-odd years (see list below), but we'd love to know which of these make it into your top three. We'd also like you to tell us which two food and drink adverts, past and current, that you hate the most (and why). Please do not reply to this e-mail. Instead, simply fill in our online form with your top three (and a short sentence explaining why you've chosen each one) and two you hate (and why), plus your name and home town and you can read the results for yourself in our February edition. Tell us about your best and worst food & drink TV ads Jessica Gunn Features Editor olivemagazine.co.uk Best food and drink TV adverts of all time - which are your most loved and most hated? Cinzano - featuring Leonard Rossiter and Joan Collins Ferrero Rocher - 'Oh, Ambassador, with these Rocher you are really spoiling us!' Bounty - The Bounty hunters are here; they're searching for a paradise Guinness - Good things come to those who wait: the serious surfing/ drinking buddies catch the ultimate wave, which morphs, majestically, into galloping horses as it crashes around them Hovis - Cobbled streets, flapcaps, a boy on a bike, Dvorak's New World Symphony. Oxo - Linda Bellingham and her 'family' Milk Tray - And all because the lady loves... Stella Artois - Reassuringly expensive-looking pastiches of French arthouse cinema Gold Blend - Will they, won't they? Of course, in the end, the Gold Blend couple did Mars - A Mars a day helps you work, rest and play R White's Lemonade - I'm a secret lemonade drinker Cadbury's Flake - Only the crumbliest, flakiest chocolate Wall's Cornetto - Just one cornetto, give it to me Martini - Any time, any place, anywhere, there's a wonderful place we can share, it's the right one, it's the bright one, it's Martini Carlsburg - Probably the best lager in the world Budweiser - 'Wassuuuuup?' Smash - For mash, get Smash, as advised by a friendly posse of metal Martians - instead of peeling and boiling potatoes for '20 of your earth minutes', then 'smashing them all to bits.' Heinz Baked Beans - Beanz Meanz Heinz Coke - I'd like to teach the world to sing Milky bar - the milky bars are on me |
