i think the biggest contrast between these adverts i remember from my childhood, and today’s offerings is positivity and optimism

and zero agenda

From a far simpler time. Life seemed a bit more real back then.

I love these old ads, it brings back memories of a more happier, settled time.

If adverts were this good today I would pay for a TV license

Honestly, if you weren’t alive in that era, you will never understand how utterly wonderful it was

For those of us who lived these times it's a bit bitter sweet watching this, realising just how much we have lost and just how incredible those days were....HEARTBREAKING.

What lovely memories 🥰. Life was so simple back then 😊. Not like nowadays 😡

I lost my heart to a starship flymo!

Ah, the 1970's... how life should be.

A wonderful era to grow up in ❤

its weird how these ads actually make me want to buy the product, todays ads don't really speak to me

All those adverts are just so wonderful; entertaining.   Now, 2018, we have 'very personal' hygiene problems, we need funeral plans, injury lawyers.  Not to mention incontinence pads.  That is all the adverts we seem to have these days.

Kellogg’s ad would work today. It would stand out as being pleasantly refreshing, not simply retro.

Takes me back to a much happier and more innocent age.

1968 to 1972 were the best years of my life as a young boy 😸

Seeing this I suddenly remember wanting that helicopter for my action man but my parents bought me the dark green dinghy with outboard motor instead. It took a time but I have got over it.

Takes me back to an era when my family were all.alive.

It was great because I was kid, lighting candles when the electricity  stopped was exciting.
It was still good though, flares and wedges 😁.
Very pre-internet, less poison and
porn.
It was maybe better than we thought.

"Love I'm going to cut the lawn" but first I need to put on me tin foil outfit with matching hat 🤣

@1:42.... like Mars Bars, you aint gonna find THAT much chocolate on a Bounty these days.
