  Those Cadbury's Smash adverts were so funny. Sometimes when I see adverts these days I can't even make out what the product is they're selling.

  I used to work in a Nestle Warehouse years ago. One day i was inspecting the pallets of 'Milky Bars' when they toppled over and fell on top of me. I was trapped for hours as every time i shouted 'The Milky bars are on me!!', everyone cheered.

  My Nana had a dog that was only 6 weeks old when she got him. He was a yellow Labrador cross and very intelligent. My Nana let me name him and because he looked like the andrex dog I wanted to call him Andy. That was in 1979/80. He had a very long life and was my best friend. I still miss him to this day.  Thank you for bringing back those good old memories of time I wish I could relive with my best friend.

  Looking at these mascots, does anyone, of a certain age, remember Victor Spanetti in an advertising campaign for McVities Jaffa cakes? He wore a burglars masks going around stealing the cakes?

  The Milk Tray advert reminds me of a fancy dress birthday party I went to when I was 11. One of the other boys came dressed in black with his head bandaged and an arm in a sling, on his back was a sign saying “Next time she can get her own chocolates”.<br><br>Another iconic character from an advert is Maureen Lipman’s Beattie from the British Telecom adverts. “He’s got an ology and he says he’s failed. You get an ology you’re a scientist.”<br><br>Finally I don’t know if he counts as an advertising mascot as it was a public information campaign but I really remember Charlie the cat from the Charlie Says… shorts.
