Can you name the product? No googling!
got any memorable ones of your own?
It’s Frothy, Man
A hazelnut in every bite
The taste for a new generation
A diamond is forever
Clunk Click
A drink’s too wet without one
Nice to eat you... whoops! greet you!
Be careful how you use it
Who knows the secret?
You can’t buy a box of chocolates for sixpence
Double your pleasure, double your fun
The best a man can get
Melts in your mouth, not in your hand
Your flexible friend
The appliance of science
Put a tiger in your tank
They drink it in the Congo!

I don't even know if they're still around, but Topic was the hazelnut version of a Marathon.

A Hazelnut in every bite I'm guessing Dairy Milk Fruit and Nut.

A Hazelnut in every bite I'm guessing Dairy Milk Fruit and Nut. was right, it’s Topic. Still available as far as I know and very tasty. |

A diamond is forever was, presumably, either one of the big mining companies like De Beers, or one of the retailers, like Beaverbrooks or Prestons of Bolton.
The diamond advert I remember was the one about spending a month's salary, or something, on an engagement ring.

At the moment remember the immortal words (almost) of Tony Hancock and stay home on an egg.

Goodness knows why I'm able to remember so many advertising slogans from yesteryear. We were more of a BBC family than an ITV one, so I suppose it just shows how clever copywriters are!
Here's another five to be getting on with:
1. See the face you love light up
2. The margarine for men
3. The bank that likes to say yes
4. Made to make your mouth water
5. Naughty, but nice

Made to make your mouth water I know that was Opal Fruits. I remember they came in flavours that included yellow, orange, red and green. I think there was supposed to be some type of fruit associated with the colours. |

Although I would eat them, obvs, one of the reasons I was never a huge fan of Toffos is because the banana flavoured one really did taste of banana. 🤢 |

See the face you love light up, with Terrys All Gold whilst you can come and see TSB, the bank that likes to say Yes.

Another big slogan from that era:
