Bex powders - TV commercial

Early 80's TV commercial for Bex - may be the last one, I certainly don't remember any more recent ones!

Same voice as the old radio ads - anyone know who it is??

Lol...When we were sill little kids we used to say this:

"If pain strikes take Bex...BUT SEX is better!"

Mmm, I remember a friend's older brother had a similar sticker on his panel van (with a drawing of a Bex packet with the "B" changed to an "S") when we were kids - mid 70's or thereabouts...

They wonder why we have such a chemical drug problem in society its because we don't have BEX or Vincent's powders anymore! Half the housewives in Australia were addicted to that stuff A cuppa tea- and enough BEX and your lie down never ends!  Awesome

I remember my mum would give me a bex at the slightest sign of a headache.  She would say "have a glass of water after though!" By the time I let that powder take effect, I didn't feel the need for anything else. I'd reached nirvana. I also remember that it was not all that bad on the tongue. Obviously it was made for kids to enjoy.....heheheh.

We have pain relief powders here too One is called Goodys, I had a man I worked with that told me his Grandma had him go to the store every day for a Goody powder and a Coca Cola. Its already got more caffeine in it than aspirin and acetaminophen

Yeah, The BEX factory was in Crown St Surry Hills. Someone grafitti'ed "BEX rots ya guts" on the wall...ha ha...

I remember housewives would say - "Have a bex with a cuppa tea and a lie down love."

[pyrofella]

A cuppa tea - a Bex and a good lie down.....

They were pretty good, if I recall.... best headache cure ever....
