The Eighties…part 2

Posted by Mick (SplaTT) Stanic under: Advertising / Marketing; The 80's; Videos .

Welcome to part 2 of my 80’s posts.

Here is the second Big M ad from around 1986 that i found on the collection of VHS tapes i discovered hidden away in a box. The first one was pretty straight forward…but this one shows Australia’s answer to Godzilla or King Kong…i present for you viewing pleasure…the Big M Roo Commercial (1.9MB WMV)

yer, I remember the early ‘Big M’ ad campaigns. When flavoured milk was the next big thing.

I really mean that. It really turned milk sales around at the time.

Anyway, my cousin use to get their calendar evey year, the one with the young females drinking Big Ms in the swimwear.
