old commercials were really really bad

[Sundae]

That just doesn't make sense!
The concept of McDLT I mean.
How could they keep it on the hotplate for a start?
And what does the D stand for? In BLT it's bacon. In DLT... donkey?

I wish I could find the Kellogg's Pop Tarts commercial we were subjected to in the 80's, but looking at the American ones on YouTube I have a feeling you've been punished enough. I assume it was made for a European market as one of the lines was "Four great flavours and they're waiting for you..." inappropriate for the home market at the time? It was just such a random tune though. It was the sort of jingle people make up in teamwork seminars and cringe about afterwards.

Not all of ours were rubbish. And certain catchphrases provide instant bonding moments for people of a certain age. Ask any Brit over about 30 to say Accrington Stanley to you. I bet they say it with a Scouse accent. And if they don't, they're thinking it.

And this is what I grew up with. Which is why my bro and I made a pact never to buy products with bad or badly dubbed adverts, it only encourages them.

Some are quintessentially British. But Pepsi is obviously dubbed (WHY? lazy, lazy advertisers) and the Coke and Cornflakes ones are American too.
