Guess the commercial
 

OK how about some old TV commercials. Write the thing out omitting giveaway words and the name of the product and see if anyone can guess/remember what was being advertised. I know this thread really excludes our younger posters and I apologise for that. You can always ask your parents if they know the answers if you want to join in.

Here's an easy one for a start. It would be from the late 50's.

This one was sung:

QCS, QCS, here's the meaning of QCS,
For Quick and Cheerful Services,
It's your ------ -------, QCS!

The one who gets it starts the next one off.
