"Suck em and see!"

Chunks

There was an ad on tv a few years back (maybe 6-8) and it was for something medicinal like pain killers, or throat lozenges etc..

My mate and I were talking about it the other day and can't remember what the hell it was advertising, it's driving me nuts.

Basically it's an ad of (if memory serves) a kinda seethrough bloke and he's sore somewhere (not too sure)....anyway, he takes the tablet and it cures him. the final shot is of him holding the product to the camera and saying in a deep voice "Suck em and See!"

I know it's not much to go on but has anyone a clue as to what it was for?

Thanks

At least that sounds like something that could be in it. I always thought it said "Succulent C".

I'm fairly sure that it was Andrew's Antacid. They definitely did a chewable/suckable version. Can't find a link to the ad itself but here's the suckable version.....

It did get there in the end though, and I got to see a host of other adverts from 1991, oh the memories ...

Wasnt Hacks was it ?

Edit : Google seems to be telling me its either Andrews Antacid or Fishermans friend.

Yeah I though it was hacks too! And the guy would hold the sweet/hack and the middle was a fan spinning around

There was a Vicks throat drops ad on for ages in the 80s - used to drive me mad. Some little girl with a cough and her dad gives her some Vicks throat drops and she goes 'Taste's so pineappley' or something like that.

Oh my God you have brought back memories....EVERYONE had those Vicks throat drops in school. It was like the cool thing to buy in the shop. I can still taste them. Do they still sell them?

"suck 'em and see" was from the fishermans friend adverts

niteowl1968

was just discussing this slogan with OH and this age came up when googled. Heres what I found and pretty sure it is as OH Wiganer born and Bred which is where Uncle Joes come from.

Uncle Joe’s Mint Balls keep you all aglow
Give ‘em to your grannie and watch the beggar go
Away with coughs and sniffles, take a few in hand
Suck ‘em and see, you’ll agree
They’re the best in all the land

So did I:D..like Vitamin C except it was some new ingredient:o. Can't think what it was for though. I'm nearly sure it was for some kind of lozenge...like Strepsils, Soothers or Hacks or Tunes.

Ah the relief! You're a genius:). That was keeping me awake at night.

I always thought it said 'Sacrament C'. It was for some throat drops. Can't remember the name of them though. This is going to drive me nuts!

I didn't realise someone had got it. Thanks, you've saved my sanity

NO idea what I thought it was supposed to actually mean but I remained convinced that that's what it was right up until last year

Its clearly "suck em and see".

On a related note there was a later ad, might have been 2000's, where another fella says "Suck em and see" at the end and the guy on the packet turns and says "hey, that's my line!"

Hangdogroad

The longer version of the ad already posted. I had this image of him as being a kind of muscle man, body builder type and that's how he appears at the beginning before "merging" with the box.
