igbsam: Stella pomade and Tandi, Crush bottles

Jet cream. Mtcheeew, yeye cream, can cause HEAT!

I remember lifebuoy football advert, da guy wey dribble everybody go score(cos of soap? If I hear!)

I also remember, "rice biscuit yakaka, we need oyakaka, rice buiscuit yakaka, we need oyakaka"

Also, Ghana's abedi pele, with his weak looking face n yeye English, "I use new 'vegibone', befr and after each match and during training session".

Ok there's ds one, ,National Oil/petrol(can't remember, I was 7yrs old den), ds guy came to buy fuel and one babe kept smiling and wiping his wind screen while he sang "thank u National, thank u, for ranging good products....blablabla national( somethin like dat sha).

Furthermore, "...Doctoooor, I gat a belly ache, doctor aha, I gat a belly ache, I'm gonna tel u now what is d matter with u, u v gat engine fatique...ENGINE FATIQUE?"

Finally........."...bla bla bla.....blabla bla....coca cola is it"

I was born may 20th, 1982.

obadiah777: BIG DIP

Oh, Oh, Oh,
I would fill a very large tumbler with Big Dip and sorts. My Ma would shake her head. Still fighting the calories I ingested all those days.

Malted Biscuits were a fave too.

Wow. Thanks for the list. It brings back feelings of nostalgia. It's also an indication or a reminder that we are growing old and will soon exit the surface this earth. Those were great brands back in the day. :-)
