    Does anyone remember the milk ad on the TV back in the early to mid 90's (I think it may have been shown up until the late 90's, not sure though) with that wooden man thing singing about milk and calcium to a pair of children? Can't seem to be able to find it on YouTube.

    "how many bones has a grown-up got?"
    "a child's got more bones than a grown-up's got"
    "a child's got more bones than a grown-up's got?!"
    "and that's the natural law"

    "them bones them bones need calcium"


    Ah what an ad. A little freaky though :)

    Good ad, kids these days would be a whole lot better off if they had a plastic man to guide them (while living in their room :eek: ).

    it's not so long since this was on the telly, i think they rereleased it recently

    I could never figure out the logic of having a guy in a wooden manequin costume talking about bones. That, and fact that the guy had half closed eyes which made him look like a moron combined to make one of the most mediocre ads on TV.

    They released a cartoon version with a witch in it. It's crap in comparison!
