      The old JR Hartley ones were even funnier. Was a Yellow Pages advert with an old geezer looking for a "Fly Fishing by JR Hartley" book and eventually using Yellow Pages to find a company which had it in stock.
      It had loads of people going into libraries, book stores, etc trying to buy a copy. Someone eventually got the genius idea to release it and used JR Hartley as a pseudonym for it and they were best-sellers so fetched him a decent sum of money.

Came with the 3 moulds, a few packs of the mixture and some paints. Then the following year I got the Flintstones set. You could also get extra packets of the mix, it would set in about a minute - but we found that you could use standard wall plaster - mixed thick - if you were prepared to leave it to set overnight.

    Only really beefy kids could rip the whole top off of a Frube... you know, the sausage fingered bully. Who blatantly stole and consumed all thr other kids Frubes, plus his mummy, who thought he was her adorable little snookums, would put a whole pack in his lunch box, along with a pack of Pepperami Wideboys. All that dairy and protein made for a mahoosive, chubby (ironically) wideboy. And so the circle of gluttony continues. All because Froobes are the greatest lunchbox item after dairylea triangles, Lunchables, mini Babybel and, of course... sarnies made with the left over sunday brisket and a wee bitty of mustard... but after them, Froobes are the best. Actually, a combination of all of those would be my favourite lunch in the wide wide world midday foodstuffs, believe!

    Was a kid in the UK but moved to Australia in 2011 I never saw the hex bug ad but I had loads of them my brother owned that hot wheels track and always I wanted the lellie kelly shoes but never got them. I did get the mobile phone lipgloss thing shown in the ad, for free once when I needed to buy new ballet shoes. I also own a little plushie of the pg tips monkey. So much nostalgia here.

    This video triggered a memory I would rather have left forgotten. I once copied the pepperami advert as a child and my sister (10 years older than me) bullied me for weeks about it before I knew what it meant. I had a very visceral cringe reaction to this.

    George you do realise prepaid phones still exist. People still regularly buy credit if they don't talk that much what's the point in paying for a whole month. You pay what you need. It's like buying a tesla when you only drive once a month. Pointless.
