The Old Indian Charmers

This collection of advertisements brings back a lot of memories, this was a time when TV was considered as a luxury item in India.

You'll see a lot of stars promoting the brand, in those it did rub of the charm, unlike now where Sharukh will gladly bathe in a tub filled with rose petals and in the same breadth zoom of in an I10 :).

One of my favourites, got a quite quirky quotient. No one wanted to use a villian to promote but I guess Parle was one of those cool brands.


There had to be crciket, it comes next only to scratching in popularity in India :), but this is quite cool, picturing to rivals Sunny and Imram (Pakistan)


Whatever happened to this drink, i use to like it!


A few among good brands to sustain the post liberalization era, but how can chocolate ever fail, silly me.


Textile was huge back then, there have been some seriously fought wars over this, with Ambanis ruling the roost with the dirty tricks book.


I don't know what they were thinking by naming a pickle after an actor Dilip Kumar :, quite funny though.


The Old warhorse from the Parle stable, later bought by Coca cola, now its quite an evolution for the brand, totally different positioning at that time..hmmm. None the less we still love the Thumps Up


Whenever I look at this ad, feels like an era has passed by, nother cult drink.


Well, I don't know about the hair but definitely would love to have a voice like him:)


The Disco dancer was a good mascot, young, energetic and unconventional, everything the brand wanted it to be at the time.


Long live the days when people use to actually create Fonts out of materials.
