Catchy ad classics

Soup, sunscreen, fly spray, cricket – classic jingles sold them all. These endlessly hummable ads became part of the national soundtrack, instantly recognisable decades later. Watch (and sing along to) a selection of the catchiest commercials, and test your memory on what they were actually selling. Whether they made you laugh, cry, reminisce or hit a six, these mini time capsules come with a warning: the tunes will stick long after the clip ends. Consider yourself warned: you’ll be humming for days.
