You remember those sci-fi milk adverts in the mid 90′s the molecular reconstruction one where the girl says “Chips” but her mother says “Salad sandwich” and the one with the “Flippin’ WardroMat” where did they go?

Does anybody know where I can find a copy of the originalo Clayton’s ad -- you know, “the drink you have when you’re not having a drink”?

I remember as …I’m sailing up here and it’s a beautiful day, the earth seems a million miles away. Seems like only yesterday, I dreamed that I could fly. On the wings of an eagle I could reach right out and touch the sky, I’ve broken all the chains that bind … sorry -- can’t find it either

I have been searching for an ad for soothers.

it pretty much is two guys in a room.. I think its like the godfather.

The ad goes something like this --

Johnny, go down to the store and get me a packet of soothers

Is that all you want

What do you mean is that all I want… you think I like talking with a dry sore throat… Get outta here you idiot!

I’m desperately searching for the Kimbies nappy ad. I can’t find it on You tube anywhere. I used to sing this to my brother and it would be the cause of many a fistfight between the 2 of us. Of course, being the superior older sister, I would always win!!!
I would like to locate it and play it as a surprise for his upcoming 35th birthday.
I have been told that it was Graham Bond and Rory O’Donahue who wrote this ad.

It was an Australian Ad 1983. It can be found in Retro Old Commercials. It wasn’t anything to do with a political Company. It was a community service announcement. I love the jingle.
