30 adverts for popular products you'll remember from the 60s and 70s, from cars to cheese

This retro photo gallery shows some of the most memorable advertisements from the era, for everything from food and drink to disinfectant.

Some of the products being promoted are still big sellers today, while others were very much of their time.

If you were around in the 80s, you’ll remember the Ford Escort, which was the best-selling car of the decade.

But do you remember quick-dried carrot strips, which are probably best forgotten, or the 80 Plus drink, which it was claimed would ‘lift your spirits’?

People back then were being encouraged to ‘unzipp a banana’, the ‘egg chicks’ were doing a cracking job, and a unique vehicle was doing the rounds, promoting Outspan oranges from South Africa.

It was also a time when lard was found in most kitchens, vinyl floors were a popular choice for home makeovers, and billboards still promoted cigarette brands, including Capstan and Greys.

Keith Chegwin was selling us Duckhams motor oil, the model Pattie Boyd was promoting L'Oreal’s Dop Pearlized Shampoo, and Batman actor Adam West was helping children stay safe on the nation’s roads.

While some of the adverts have faded from memory, others are among the most iconic ever created, like the Guinness toucan and Schweppes’ 'Schhh... You-Know-Who!' tagline.

How many of these adverts, and the products they promoted, do you remember?
