Fuck me, people will argue about anything. Arguing about the authenticity of an advert from the 80's. Everything was cheesy as fuck from the 80's. Come on people we're better than this. :D
Turkey has the best Kebabs & food in general in this part of the world. Greek, Persian, Egyptian Cuisine ect. None of it compares to Turkish dishes. Best Baklava is Turkish of course.
As a turk i loved this advert its pure romantisism and fakery but who cares for turks complaining that its fake yea its not meant to be a bloody tourism video, i mean ive never seen a turk that handsome they are normaly 5 foot 2 with a big black moustache so stop bloody moaning.
this advert was gravitas and pure romantic you basicaly can
listen to this tune and fall a sleep because it was soothingly
refreshing but in whole this advert now plays great on a big flatscreen tv
so you can imagining this being played at the cinema it's just pure drama at the time and arabic is a language in most regions of turkey and egypt and also
theres a region in egypt called arabia watch the film lawrence of arabia to find
if you don't know the difference between a Turk and an Arab just don't make an advertisement.here there is no desert,people don't wear such things(i don't want to even mention sword at all)and this product is not the real Turkish delight.everything is fake in ad.
if that were the case they would've being wrapped up an a court case
for making false claims so in order to solve that they had to make the advert authentic
in the style of cecil b demil's productions of the ten commandments and 7th voyage of sinbad
so it would have made to believed that it was discoverd in a turkish dessert and as for the sword was added for the drama of the ad lastly the bar was precut prior to the dramatic sword scene.
@43dreamlover Well to the western world, we imagine Turkey and the entire middle east as visions of Arabian nights, with camels, and clothing like in Alladin, thats the vision we are brought up with and it has a sense of romanticism, the add is for the western world and it works.
Would you rather they show islamic people executing gay men and launching missles at the west and raping women? Didnt think so, because if they filmed how it really is, they wouldnt sell!
@2vkys2 Most Westerners don't know the difference. To be completely honest I didn't know Turks weren't Arab but I am glad you said something, that's something new I've learned.
it is not Olga Fedori aka Frieda Petrenko off holby city as she would have 2 be in about her 40s now also Contains the following allergens- milk and possible traces of nuts and soya. Suitable for Vegetarians but not Vegans
@Jarren202 as far as I know there are no animal products in the real turkish delight. may be you can not eat this shitty one, but you can eat the real turkish delight.
@Jarren202 I agree, I just came back from an Iranian cake shop in Ealing with some proper turkish delight and its amazing, pistachio flavour. BTW that sweet is not limited to Turkey and the only reason its called Turkish delight is that we Brits think all Arabs/Persians look like Turks!!!
Main aim of the ad as most ad's is to arouse curiosity and try their product. I think they have succeded. Even if you bought the Fry's Turkish Delight bar and hated it,they have won or the ad is succesfull as in the least it made you part with your money for the bar to taste. And that's whole point i think.
No,i dont mean Fox's glacier mints and neither polo mints before you mention it although i can see a resemblance with a mint with a hole and your head. Cant you read!
Muslims sweets... No wonder its one of the longest running ads spanning over nearly 3 decades and thats just this version. However, i heard a new version of another Fry's sweet ad is coming out soon but this time for people like you, it will be done in Iceland in the snow with a Polar Bear. Hope you enjoy the colourfull ad and let's see how long it lasts.
Middle east this, ottoman empire that. ITS A FUCKING ADVERT FROM NEARLY 30 YEARS AGO! what the fuck is the matter with people on YouTube. A bit of nostalgia, can we just leave it at that!
@yassinesoufy1988 Well it was created by the Turkish Ottoman Empire, not just Turkey, which included most of the Middle east and eastern europe. So in that sense it is fine to use a desert setting.
I stumbled across this ad .Saw it first like most as a child and didn't think much of it then.But when i see it now..WOW,Vivienne Lynn, i think of english and chinese decent,in the ad looks stunningly beautifull.Blissfull music too. I read somwhere it was shot in London back then and Vivienne Westwood designed the clothes both actors wore.Also Vivienne Lynn after the ad was made, went on to be editor of cosmopolitan for some time.I agree,best tv ad ever.Timeless classic.
You morons. The woman is sitting in the middle of the Arabian desert, crying and waiting for her fellow to return back from Turkey, with a bar of Fry's Turkish Delight. lol
The reason why Fry's Turkish Delight tastes rubbish is because it is made somewhere up M6 or M1 and NOT in Turkey. If it was made in Turkey...you would be having an ORGASM. lol
Real Turkish Delight doesn't have chocolate all over it - it has caster sugar and usually contains nuts (and it is very sickly). Also, Jeff Wayne did the music for this :)
I can understand why the Anglo-Turkish community are aggrieved at this unrealistic portrayal.
In reality,the young lady in the commercial would be round the side of the sand dune,stood in a pool of camel urine getting pumped by Dave,whilst our Turkish hero slices, at best lukewarm,at worst frozen strips of Turkish Delight from a reconstituted block of gelatine/chocolate for the young ladies pleasure.
I bought a Turkish Delight from the market the first time today. I'm not sure how much I like it lol. It's very different from American chocolate bars!
funny how "turkish delight" is portrayed in completely alien geography. There are no sand dunes and camels roaming the Turkish countryside.Instead its a pretty green fertile country, with mountains and summer-dry but winter-wet plateaus. Very mediterranean throughout. Just another wrong perception of good old Turkey.

This advert is referencing an early silent film 'The Sheik' which starred Rudolph Valentino. If you notice the woman looks a bit like a silent screen vamp and he is made-up to look like Valentino but not so good looking! You can watch the original movie on Youtube
Love it, so hypnotising and brings back so many wonderful memories of childhood wonderment. although i was only about 1 or 2 when this was airing i still remember it. Fascinating stuff!
I remember this in the early 80's when I was about 5 years old. My sister was about 19 and was the double of the woman in the ad although she's not even Arab/Turkish or whatever. lol
dnt get me wrong arabs are ok , but if they put arab delight do you think ppl would buy it ? when you hear turkish delight it sounds much more pleaseing dose evey one eles agee???
Luv this ad, I was a little baby when I first remember watching (and loving) it and im 29 now! It brings back so many wonderful memories, lovely music too. Thanks 4 the upload...
I love this advert. I was three when it was first aired and I remember it clearly - it's probably my first TV memory. As a child I loved the mystique surrounding it (in my childs mind!) and it's so very nostalgic watching it back now...
This is an orientalist view of Turks. I have never seen a Turk wear this type of clothing. Turkey certainly does not have sand dunes like the ones in this video. During the Ottoman Empire, Turks occupied places in the Middle East that looked like this, ie Saudi Arabia.
@baysaliso Yeah not too much the same you guys are near the arabs but the thing is Turkey is also near Europe so you do have some more European traits. The western side of Turkey that is closer to Europe has more European things about it like Istanbul. Places closer to the east are more arab-like. So it is really half europe half Mid east.
The advert is harking back to the days of early cinima, where as the name Turkish Delight goes back four hundred years. I would say that any inteligent European knows that Turks arn't arabs.
This says something, don't you think? Don't try to be Europeans! Remain eastern and exotic - Turkey should scrap all this Kemalist nonsense and be itself again.
@Tengri89 Its just a romanticised play on the slogan "full of eastern promise".
The product that they are selling is almost nothing to do with Turks (its nothing like real Turkish delight) and the scene portrayed is nothing to do with real Arabs - much more to do with the Italian actor Rudolph Valentino.
Real Turkish delight is also called Lokum or Libya, Saudi Arabia and Tunisia ḥalqūm but that doesn't roll off the tongue so easily "Fry's Lokum ḥalqūm"
@Tengri89 The Middle East was part of the Ottoman Turkish empire, which invented Turkish delight in the 15th century. So Arabs and Turks would have both eaten it and were part of the same Turkish empire.
@ojideagu For your Info Turks are descendants of Ottomans so it doesnt matter if it were the Ottomans cause they are the same as Turks. It's name is Turkish Delight it's Turkish so live with it instead of trying to teach me about the history of my country.
@producted13 The Ottomans who lived in the middle east could have invented Turkish delight.
I doubt anybody knows if they made it IN turkey. Lot's of people descend from the Ottomans not just Turkish people because they invaded so many countries.
Feel weird about it, a decent vid, and romantic, so it doesn't portray the mid east in a bad way, but then it has nothing to do with Turks (the iconography is Arabic) and .. the candy isn't real Turkish delight!

when you see a person with asian features in his/her face, you simply call her/him chineese.
same thing with that why people associate turks with arabians. lack of knowledge over middle east.

This advert is referencing an early silent film 'The Sheik' which starred Rudolph Valentino. If you notice the woman looks a bit like a silent screen vamp and he is made-up to look like Valentino but not so good looking! You can watch the original movie on Youtube

I love this advert. I was three when it was first aired and I remember it clearly - it's probably my first TV memory. As a child I loved the mystique surrounding it (in my childs mind!) and it's so very nostalgic watching it back now...

This is an orientalist view of Turks. I have never seen a Turk wear this type of clothing. Turkey certainly does not have sand dunes like the ones in this video. During the Ottoman Empire, Turks occupied places in the Middle East that looked like this, ie Saudi Arabia.

@baysaliso Yeah not too much the same you guys are near the arabs but the thing is Turkey is also near Europe so you do have some more European traits. The western side of Turkey that is closer to Europe has more European things about it like Istanbul. Places closer to the east are more arab-like. So it is really half europe half Mid east.

@Tengri89
The advert is harking back to the days of early cinima, where as the name Turkish Delight goes back four hundred years. I would say that any inteligent European knows that Turks arn't arabs.

This says something, don't you think? Don't try to be Europeans! Remain eastern and exotic - Turkey should scrap all this Kemalist nonsense and be itself again.
bootubular 1 year ago
@Tengri89 Its just a romanticised play on the slogan "full of eastern promise".
The product that they are selling is almost nothing to do with Turks (its nothing like real Turkish delight) and the scene portrayed is nothing to do with real Arabs - much more to do with the Italian actor Rudolph Valentino.
Real Turkish delight is also called Lokum or Libya, Saudi Arabia and Tunisia ḥalqūm but that doesn't roll off the tongue so easily "Fry's Lokum ḥalqūm"

@Tengri89 The Middle East was part of the Ottoman Turkish empire, which invented Turkish delight in the 15th century. So Arabs and Turks would have both eaten it and were part of the same Turkish empire.

@producted13 Look up the Ottoman Empire which invented Turkish delight, and see the countries that included.

@ojideagu For your Info Turks are descendants of Ottomans so it doesnt matter if it were the Ottomans cause they are the same as Turks. It's name is Turkish Delight it's Turkish so live with it instead of trying to teach me about the history of my country.
producted13 8 months ago
@producted13 The Ottomans who lived in the middle east could have invented Turkish delight.
I doubt anybody knows if they made it IN turkey. Lot's of people descend from the Ottomans not just Turkish people because they invaded so many countries.

Feel weird about it, a decent vid, and romantic, so it doesn't portray the mid east in a bad way, but then it has nothing to do with Turks (the iconography is Arabic) and .. the candy isn't real Turkish delight!
