Oh what a feeling! Takes me back to the days when dad used to say "lime fresh" as a form of exclamation to underscore the moment. As in; if someone bought a new car and told him he'd be tempted to say "lime fresh!" Thanks for uploading this advertisement. "Lime fresh!"
The power of catchy jingles, I pesterd my mum into buying this soap, & I think she was easily swayed, more by the commercial than by me. Before that it was stock-standard velvet yellow soap
Wow, I remember that one too...The bottle had a green cap shaped like an apple and the label had the grooviest 70's font. I remember absolutely loving the smell
Intoducing Lime Fresh, the world's first soap with natural power of lime. Its rich creamy lather gives your skin an everlasting tingle you can really feel. For freshness that lasts all day long- Lime Fresh. Makes your skin feel alive.
It's like one of those psychiatrist things you hear about... My life has always been looking for those streaks of Lime...to make it Fresh.. I'm not kidding here, I was a boy who lived for Lime Fresh in my household when these ads were on the TV...suckin' it up bad in the western suburbs..in the late 60's early 70's... And my parents provided it so I would smell 'right' (Lime Fresh) at school... shit a brick, huh, fuck that shit.
Too young to have seen this sd in it's natural habitat, but I saw it SOMEWHERE and for many years now I just yell 'LIME FRESH' for no apparent reason. I've stopped trying to fight the urge.
I can't believe so many people remember this soap! Wasn't there also a blue "ocean" scented variety? Pretty sure it was Fresh..smelt nice but it was a crap soap, I remember it breaking up as well..Ahhh childhood memories-totally useless but I love'em..
I am his Dad and he is a National Sales manager of an overseas telecommunication Company and is now 62 years old . and very comfortable in his life style in Nsw .
You weren't the only one who thought this was great. Problem was ... my parents stopped buying it. Changed to Palmolive Gold ..... maybe the add was better LOL.
Idiots world wide would say it's cultural appropriation FFS it's celebrating regae music I once dressed as a Rastafarian for a pubcrawl back in 2014 in Australia We met some actual jamacian rastas exchange uni students Wanna know what they said? "Hey cool costume mon!" They were flattered and we became friends that night of dancing Why? Because it was appreciation and an obvious bit of fun!
Lime a Lime a Lime a Lime, Lime a Lime a Lime a Lime, Lime a Lime a Lime a Lime, It's called Lime Fresh, Fresh Lime!! That kid who popped up, was out of tune and really annoying!! Not only that, but did it ever occur to you that when they sing: "makes your skin feel alive", and the voice over guy says: "so fresh, it tingles", it sounds like they're saying, it makes your skin crawl, or break out in some kind of moving rash..... Makes your skin feel Aliiieeeve!! Aaaahh!! Eeeeww!! It's called Lime Fresh, Fresh Lime! Aaaah memories......
I'm wondering if they've "cancelled" everybody responsible for that ad. You know, "cultural misappropriation" or whatever they're calling it this week.
Love that ad. It was my favourite soap. It's a pity we can't buy it any more.
Great commercial!! I still remember when it was out!!!
I still sing this jingle in the shower!
Used to love that soap. As a kid, I was almost tempted to taste it.
Very catchy tune which I never forgot the words to.

"Lime fresh!"
Awesome memories

The power of catchy jingles,

I absolutely loved the soap and the ad too.
Wow, I remember that one too...The bottle had a green cap shaped like an apple and the label had the grooviest 70's font. I remember absolutely loving the smell
I was in LOVE witht e boy who said Lime Fresh!
May be I still am.
LOL I still have a cake of this soap.... unopened :)
Don't use it, it's a collectors item!! I reckon it would be worth at least $150.........
It's a keeper!
"delicious streaks of lime" - mmm, crunchy...
One of the most aggravating ads I've ever seen. Could have cheerfully garotted the Lime Fresh kid.
i liked this ad back in the day. Great jingle! Thanx for uploading...
I just watched it and my mouth watered, remembering the smell of the soap! LOL
And the other commenter is correct, there was a sea blue version too.
Its 3am and i am watching this while driving my car and smoking weed! life is gr8\
That just gave me an earworm. I loved this soap, too. Have you got a copy of the Palmolive Gold ads? "Don't wait to be told..."
Chasing the Rosella soup ad, had a great song behind it

I remember seeing this ad on "Funky Squad" a short-lived 70s cop show parody by the D-Generation on the ABC.
.DVD ON That Got I'veI
I learnt that song last year 2012
Oh God, I used to HATE this ad, and now I'm watching it again on YT.
I loved that soap smell, I'm going to try and make it lol
I remember the ad and I used to buy that soap until it just vanished.

Oh yes I remember this one but I can't say I ever bought the soap. Been buying that scratchy oatmeal soap for years.
My favourite soap.
Im with you on that

I went to school with this kid, Guy Ross if I remember correctly, we were at Girraween primary school I think 1971 - 72, wonder what happened to him?
I am his Dad and he is a National Sales manager of an overseas telecommunication Company and is now 62 years old . and very comfortable in his life style in Nsw .
@swinggalwa I loved the Yardley Green Apple shampoo ! ( as well as this soap.)
@gemini5865 You mean to say they liked "don't wait to be told you need palmolive gold" over this little ditty? :^)
You weren't the only one who thought this was great. Problem was ... my parents stopped buying it. Changed to Palmolive Gold ..... maybe the add was better LOL.
Don't wait to be told, you need palmolive gold!
Idiots world wide would say it's cultural appropriation
FFS it's celebrating regae music

Wanna know what they said?
"Hey cool costume mon!"
They were flattered and we became friends that night of dancing
Why?
Because it was appreciation and an obvious bit of fun!
