Be In It

…today – live more of your life!
Remember those ads? I remember them from sometime in the 80s.

What happened to the “infomercial”? I don’t remember seeing them much lately. There seemed to be lots of them at one time – ads that weren’t selling a product or touting a company, just passing on information. I like that this one includes suggestions for wellbeing other than sporty type pursuits (such as t-shirt printing or photography).
I also remember this one from way back. I think I still dredge it up in my memory when I want to remember what each vitamin does. Having listened to it again, it seems I’ve been mixing up C and E – thinking vitamin C was good for my corpuscles!

I had a good wander around town this morning, so I feel like I was “in it” a bit more today than I have been lately. I even got the bus home!

If you are of a “certain age” (and Australian) you probably remember Sid the Seagull.

And here’s another one. It’s older (70s), and was put out by the Christian Television Association. Sorry about the quality – there aren’t too many copies of this that I can find.

I’m not entirely sure what it’s trying to say. In my memory, as a child, it was a call to “say g’day” to everyone, regardless of who they were or where they came from – I still think of it as a sort of multicultural “Australians together” kind of thing…

This one is an ad for a company, but it still raises a sniffle 😥
It was used in the sermon (on families) this last Sunday.

We haven’t, as a family, sat around the table for a meal for quite a long time. We do still talk to each other all the time ❤ Most Sunday lunchtimes are spent eating together, watching whatever TV show the boys want to watch. That might sound a bit antisocial, but I have to keep pausing it to discuss various things that come up during the show!

Since I’ve started on advertising for actual products, here are two more that will be instantly familiar to many people. These ones are from well before my time, but I frequently heard the jingles in childhood.
Enjoy! 😀
