PostAdverts and cool stuff from kids comics

I grabbed a few Old Comics Today and having shared a Picture to Twitter figured id share some here too for the older among us to remember.

A late 80's Early 90's Advert shown in the Beano and the Dandy for Fiendish Feet. Grabbed 10 issues of the #Dandy and 1 of the #Beano from this time period and have photographed a few adverts, I think this is £5.50 well spent

St Ivel were a cut above the rest when it came to yoghurt (Prize >> Ski), but I think this may have been where they jumped the shark.

So far this year, I have eaten NO mince pies.

I uses to love those yoghurts :wub:

I also had a drawing published in either the beano or the dandy and I don't know what issue it was in. I should write to them describing it and see if it's archived somewhere.

I hated them, but thats my Autism or what I would later learn is part of it .... I cant eat Halloween based food or things like these yogerts cause it just sends a message to my brain that I am eating something wrong and makes me start to heave if I try... cant eat eyeball sweets or jelly worms or such.

I loved the look of the pots and would have lined my shelf with washed out ones if my brother had ate them for me lol

I'm the same with cock flavoured lolly pops.

They shouldn't be on a stick.

I love the boa constrictor one, Some of the old comics were really good at trying to get kids to post in money to basically get cheap tat

Oh man these are hitting the nostalgia buttons hard!

I remember those Fiendish Feet ads, don't think we ever actually had the yogurts though. And I lusted after those Space Lego sets so much, I still have a couple of Space Police mini figures knocking around :wub:

I remember having some of the lego space sets they were super awesome.

Also seeing a Dixons add is kind of awesome.

Oh my god the feels :wub: :wub: :wub:

The only thing I didn't have from the bottom row there was the blacktron cruiser, and I have the cosmicopter in the top left.

I remember that advert so well :wub:

Edit: "Get mum to cut the coupon out" :lol: :fp:
