When I grow up I want to be a tomato

BLITZ_Molloy · 2008-02-16 00:38:24

Anybody remember the advertisement in question? Might have been for a bank or something stupid. Had loads of people saying what they wanted to do for a living and then some kid at the end in a tomato suit saying "when I grow up.." and the phrase became de rigeur around the school yard when I was 7 or 8 years old.

Sounds like the Prudential ad but not sure, early 90's I think.

Mmm.. that's probably from the same series of adverts. That ones vaguely familiar. No kid in a tomato suit though.
