    Hi guys - really stumped here. TV ad for shampoo from what I remember, where a woman asks a man if he likes her hair - he is a farmhand and is tending to a cow at the time. He responds "It's nice and soft - just like daisy".

    Can anyone help shed light on what advert this was, and what brand it advertised?

    Thanks in advance

    "tending to a cow called Daisy"
    Are you sure it was an ad?

    Think it was some of the strangest results I ever got from a search, was also tips on how to grow your cow's hair quicker (and it said hair)!!

    Yeah I remember that. The couple are having a "roll in the hay" literally:) The first time he touches her hair he says "all I can feel is this straw" Then when she uses the shampoo/conditioner in the Ad he says the line you are talking about "smooth and shiny just like Daisys"

    It's from the very early 80's - no idea what the shampoo is though - so I am no help really.:)

    I remember the ad. At a guess I would go for Timotei.

    I cant find it either, but at the time Timotei were doing the grassy meadow, blonde-in-a-white- dress singy songy ads.

    While trawling unsuccessfully through the net for the shampoo ad I came across this one which is one of my favourite all time ads from the 80's.
    Turn up the volume!
    Hope the older ones enjoy :)

    Here's one. Does anybody remember this ad for Coca Cola. It was a Christmas one and had a load of chickens (thousands of them) wearing boots (Santa boots as I recall) and marching in a line and clucking the Coca Cola song. I SWEAR it wasn't a dream, but no amount of Googling will find it, and nobody I know has ever seen it.

    It was reals I tells ya. :mad:

    I'll jump on the bandwagon and ask for an ad I'm looking for too.

    It's a old one for something to the effect of a postman posting a VHS in a door and it's showing of Disneyland or something similar. Unfortunately that's all I have and I know it's very vague.

    Thanks for any help.

    I don't to be perfectly honest. I said I'd just throw it out there and for some weird reason someone may have an answer. Only other info I know is I'm now 21 and it was when I was young so ~10 years ago I'd say.

    Edit: Come to think of it, I think there was yellow water slides in the ad.
