I've not seen this for about 25 years yet I still distinctly remembered what was coming at the end with the 'Only Smarties have the answer' jingle with the bird noise (though I didn't remember it actually being birds, just the sound).
-
I think the makers of this ad were ahead of their time with their computer generated animations.

@ChaosCat79 Yes, it was def mid 80's that it first came out not 1990 and Wikipedia says so too. I remember it as a kid.
-
@AcousticUplift Yes, wiki confirms it too, it was made about 1986. I used to watch it when I was about 6 years old. It was probably shown again in 1990.

@ChaosCat79 I concur. I remember this being on when I was about 3, 4 maybe 5 so that time would be about right, maybe even earlier.

@lmcgregoruk Yes they did! Oh an 80s childhood. Jingles were so much more imaginative now. I never forgot this ad.

From a more innocent time before Nestle took over Rowntree.
Plus the tube lids had the letter underneath them, which the "new" tubes don't.
