The Hard Sell, Episode Seventy-Six: Easter 2018

Advertising: the rattling of a stick in a swill-bucket? Welcome to the show where the stick rattles back: The Hard Sell. Adverts from history, treated with the respect they deserve. This episode: It's Easter again! Your Hard Sell revisits a surrealist failure, wallows in exoticism and spends an inordinate amount of time on a product that isn't even chocolate, for Christ's sake, the cheating bastards.

Oh but Cabana bars were DE-LISH. The pieces of cherry made it so much better than a Bounty bar. As for the Fry's Turkish Delight bar, bleeeuugggh. Sorry and all that. The original jingle that was used for the Turkish Delight advertising campaign on TV was composed by Cliff Adams, he of the 'Singers', but you probably already knew that, I'm sure.
