Remembering SA's famous old TV adverts

Updated | By Poelano Malema

Growing up, we all had those TV adverts that just got stuck in our heads.

For those who were born in the 80s and early 90s, let us go down memory lane with some of SA’s best adverts of those decades.
 

Who can forget Cremora’s “It’s not inside, it’s on top”?

And then the advert that made all of us want to get a slab of chocolate!

Or the popular Vodacom 'You’re always in touch' advert when cellphones were becoming the in-thing?

Then there was the hilarious Sasol "Windie Windie" Amagluglug advert that had the whole family cracking.

But like anyone in SA will tell you, you can’t talk about adverts and leave out hilarious Nando's ads that are forever relevant. Do you remember the 'Times are Tough' one? That is still one of our many favourite Nando's ads.
