54321 - 80s Advert

[weeweeeewee]

Damn, it made you remember it.

[baronvonsatanus]

Ted Rogers pwns HIMSELF! Awesome :-D

[vania1013]

still get them in spar shop in harrow on hill

[iainreekiecouk]

0:13 rather tasteless to make fun of Jeremy Beadle.

[MrLogoman007]

@iainreekiecouk That's Ted Rogers.

[jadonSteve]

here in canada we called them MAX5

[MrAaRdVaRkEr]

Oh! now those were good, one of the reasons i suffer from chronic tooth decay now in my thirties, i have an old marathon bar wrapper on my pinboard pinned up by a robinsons gollywog badge in the form of a cyclist, a kind of mini eighties shrine

[VectorOmega]

Great idea...so good even a certain someone used it in a YTP. BTW, if this bar were marketable under the name of the greek letter 'pi', should it be called 314(insert next 2 digits of pi here) and should be in a circle shaped wrapper

[Phillybob1982]

54321 ma granma's got a gun, she pulled the trigger, shot a nigger, 54321

[Applemask]

Wait, isn't this Paul Jones bowdlerising himself?

[idontsignin]

do you still get these. i dont really eat chocolate anymore but i want 1 now.

[cozmium]

i'll add my voice to the "omg i used to love these!!"

Used to be obsessed with these as a lad... cheers for the trip down memory lane!

[judeskii]

i used to love them bars. what happened them??

[supahdupahguy81]

I actually ate one of these as a 5 year old in 1987, wonders never cease..........

[WiseOldTabbyCat]

Was that choc bar any nice?

[leemo1982]

OMG the memories!

[JRHartly1984]

I use to love these as a kid, I don't think you can get them anymore, can you?

[TopGunSGA]

OMG I loved these as a kid

[VengaboysRbackINtown]

Can someone PLEASE tell me what year this ad is from? It is the earliest ad that I remember I think.

[flymajj]

It is the earliest ad I can remember too. Must be from around 1984ish....

[twittykins]

Wispa bars came back after an internet campaign, so how about starting one for Trio and 5-4-3-2-1?

[davenextdoor]

Definitely!

I miss Trios.

Every time I go shopping I look for them in the hope that they make a come back.

What puzzles me is that Penguins managed to withstand the test of time.

[weebarry668]

What year was this?!!!

[aphexchris]

5432lol

[lordilujah]

they tasted so yum

[Ashworth6]

There was another version of this ad with an astronaut trying and failing to eat the bar through his helmet and the countdown 5-4-3-2-1 reflected on the visor.

[TheKidDoc81]

I remember this AD. Have to face it! I am getting old.

[lukessummer]

ARE YOU ALL MAD!!!!!....Blue Ribbon's were the best...He He!

[09070605066]

oooooo gross you can still get them as well

[flymajj]

Where can you get them? Haven't seen them since I was about 5!

[darrenchadwick]

My friends and I used to phone 54321 and sing it when they answered. Turned out to be the classified ads on the Burnley Express. They must have hated us!

[deepdaleinvincible]

Telephones in Burnley in the 80's??? Next you'll be telling me you had electric in the 90's!

[spacecowboy22]

they still use 2 cups and string them dingles ;)

[tomservo3]

I want to try this but I live in the us. the US had good old candy, but the candy they have now is only ok. the UK IS the king of chocolate bars!

[leonardsleopard]

you're about twenty years too late mate.

[tomservo3]

noooooooooo

[Dreadpirate46]

That's what you get for living on a satellite in space. You miss out on good candy bars.

[hoggys2much]

Does anyone know who made them? It is driving me nuts not knowing who made them and when were they withdrawn?

[jakamneziak]

5 4 3 2 1 were to be perfectly blunt the most addictive biscuits EVER! trio's came close btu not close enough

[danny9312]

LOL @  00:10

[RabidRaccoonUK]

I used to love those. I think the closest thing you can get to one now is a Tunnocks.

[roisincasey]

Are these Toffee Crisp now?

[jiffy2001]

No. Toffee crisp were similar but different. These were abut the same length but thinner.

[roisincasey]

THANKS!

[blakfloyd]

That's what she said ;)

[darrensgirl22]

mum kept saying, u can have one when ur older, (tut) then when i remembered, bastards had stopped making them ... all i remember is the kids fallin out of bed,

[bitrot]

Classic - love the Ted Rogers moment!

Did anyone else used to sing to the tune of the last line "5 - treats - in - one-bar!"?

[Stelmer2000]

This brings back memories. As a kid I loved those bars.

[mrscruffy]

Jees, I forgot Ted Rogers was in it!

[DZrache]

This makes me want to try one. Surley somehting so delicious sounding must still exist?

[davenextdoor]

Sadly I have not seen a pack of 54321's in the shops for a very long time. How could Penguins survive when the 54321 couldnt? I saw some Gold Bars in Sainsburys a while ago, why? The closest thing you will find to a 54321 is a Blue Ribbond. Obviously they arnt as nice but it gives you an idea of what you missed. I no longer see Trio's either, shame!

[whirlyfan]

very true still get toffees biscults never seen trio's in long whilie !

[Ashworth6]

@davenextdoor

Shame on you for mentioning 54321s and Blue Ribbond in the same sentence.  Blue Ribbonds always ended up stale in my mum's kitchen cupboard. Wouldn't eat them until my vital organs started packing up.

[chinalee1010]

@davenextdoor yeh, totally agree

[robuk1981]

i wanna cry i havent seen this in so long

[antoina4]

nooooooooooooooo  hahaaaaaa classic
