I'd love to see one of those old Chuckwagon dog food ads from the 1970s where they would have the little toy chuckwagon running across the kitchen floor with a dog chasing after it. If I remember right, the chuckwagon was some kind of stop motion animation.

This has been bugging me for AGES:
Do any UK ILXors remember an ad from the late 80s/early 90s which had a guy out on a morning run, drinking something from a bottle (maybe milk?) and going "ahh... shattered!"

I've no idea what it was for, I thought it might have music similar to "Wonderful Life" by Black or the Natwest bank ads of the 80s (Crocketts theme, according to Youtube).

Aaargh, you've just put this into my head now as well, but i don't remember anything other than what you've just described.

Bump in case Britishers can help. I'm beginning to think maybe I'm conflating several ads here, though...

In my office, we've recently adopted, as a non sequitur way of changing topics during a conversation, "Well, my broker is E.F. Hutton, and E.F. Hutton says . . ." Do people much younger than, say, 30 even remember those commercials anymore?

Can't find a schweppes one that seems like it, although it could be out there somewhere. There's a Lucozade one with Daly Thompson running, but on a proper race track (and with Iron Maiden playing!)

I'm under 30, don't know that EF Hutton one.

Ere, what's your game? Yeahhhhh!!
Music is by the same composer as the Natwest ones and sounds almost the same.

I wonder whatever happened to Declan Swan and his mum? He got involved in a playground accident circa 2001 and Claims Direct got his mum £10,000 compensation - but then what? Nothing.
