I have a feeling that cigarettes were involved in one of the first adverts - you're never alone with a strand.

The second ad (I think) was for Cadbury's drinking chocolate. (Straight after a toothpaste ad!)


The first colour ad was for Bird's Eye Garden Peas. (Did television viewers really think that garden peas were grey prior to November 1969?)
