Popular Ads Trivia Quiz

Answer: Exxon

Esso and Exxon are parent companies. The Tiger started in Norway in the early twentieth century, as a leaping tiger emblem on Esso Norway roadside gasoline pumps.
In 1959 an advertising agency in Chicago was asked by Exxon to create an advertisement to boost the sales of its petrol. In 1964 the cartoon tiger was introduced with the slogan "Put a Tiger in your Tank". The success of the campaign prompted Time Magazine to proclaim 1964 as the "Year of the Tiger along Madison Avenue".
Within a year the cartoon tiger could be found in Europe, Australia and the Far East.
The Esso Tiger was retired in the late 1960s but resurrected in 1972, when Esso changed its name to Exxon. Their slogan now said: "We"re changing our name, but not our stripes".
BP had told us they were "Beyond Petroleum" and SHell tried to make us believe we went well if we went Shell.

Answer: Kodak

The first Kodak camera was launched in the U.S.A. in 1888. It was a simple black wooden box with a 100? exposure film. It rapidly became popular with amateur photographers.

Answer: Treets

Fortunately "Maltesers" are the "Chocolates with the less fattening centres", and "Smarties" keep telling me "Wot a lot I got". Good to know.
'Treets' were the first to have this slogan which now has been taken over by 'M&M'. See www.chowhound.com/boards/general3/messages/27041.html

Answer: Haig

The 'Haig' adepts probably are quite unwilling to listen to other messages, such as the one from 'Carnation' who tell us they are "Milk from contented cows". In case our stomach aches there is still 'Alka-Seltzer':" Plop, plop, fizz, fizz, oh what a relief it is!"

Answer: The Times

But let us not forget that the "New York Times" prints " All the news that's fit to print". Alas the "News of the World" has another creed: "All human life is there", and nothing is too sordid to be left out.

Answer: Heineken

"Double Diamond" tried to persuade us that it "worked wonders", and "Guinness" promoted itself as a beer for "invalids", something which the Irish were only too willing to believe. Would you dare to doubt that "Guinness is good for you"?? Sounds much better to me than "Your country needs you".

Answer: B.M.W.

Produced by the "Bayerische Motor Werke". "Audi" in 1984 still addressed us in German with the slogan "Vorsprung Durch Technik" -" Advantage By Technique".
"Avis" of course kept saying that they 'tried harder'. "Dunlop" claimed to be "Tested for the Unexpected", which was very re-assuring.

Answer: Polo

But if "Polo" cannot give you satisfaction, there is still "Milky Way" the "Sweet you can eat between meals."

Answer: Access Card

Promises..promises ..Does not 'Palmolive' soap tell us that with "Palmolive" we "keep our schoolgirl complexion" .With 'Camay' "we 'll look a little lovelier each day".And with a "Strand" cigarette " We are never alone".. Isn't this Paradise?
Access is also said to 'take the waiting out of the wanting' as can be found at: bubl.ac.uk/org/jugl/Seminar97/keynotea.htm

Answer: Coca-Cola

But with Pepsi we "Come alive "; in the case of Schweppes " Shh.... You Know Who" and "Maxwell House coffee" is "Good to the last drop".
