Triangular Bees

[Bazile]

Speaking to my colleague a young lady in her 40's - she said one of her favourite chocolate is Toblorone

''Toblerone, out on its own,
Triangular chocolate.
That's Toblerone.

''Made with triangular almonds,
From triangular trees,
And triangular honey,
From triangular bees.

And oh, Mr Confectioner please,
Give me Toblerone.''


I asked her if she remembers the advert .
I was surprised she didn't .

Which prompted me to ask my other colleagues also in their 30's and 40's - they couldn't remember it either .

However they remember the Flake and the Cadburys Milk Tray ads .(Bit odd)
How old are you - do you remember the ad in question ?

Yes ! I remember it from the 1970s when there was a fashion for sung jingles to advertise products. Toblerone's was one of the most memorable because it was so fantasy based (triangular bees?).

Another memorable one was Aero ("Because biting bubbles is better") as the Kelloggs cornflakes, Persil Automatic and Ki Ora ("Adora Ki Ora").
