Advert 4: R. White's - Secret Lemonade Drinker

An advert for R. White's Lemonade from the early 1980s. The idea that lemonade must be drunk in "secret" gives it an unusually naughty and therefore appealing edge. The song is also very memorable, whether you want it to be or not!

Secret lemonade drinker?? He's got five bottles of the stuff in that fridge.

Why would drinking something like Lemonade have to be kept a secret I wonder. Hmmmm.......

It was much earlier than the early 1980s...And it's one of me all time favourites.

drinking any fizzy drink before you sleep

at night is a no no because it contains

sugar and caffeine water will suffice

@TheUTubeTeamSucks , Yes, think she turned up in The Sweeney and so forth - she was def one of the supporting characters in the Nazi-esque 1970s Dr Who story, the Genesis of the Daleks, which seems to always get voted up as one of the best episodes.

@flametop93 I saw this commercial recently on a Top 100 countdown, and remebered it, but when i saw the woman, i thought i'd seen her before; thanks for providing the name, i've found out subsequently she was in an episode of Blake's 7 (Redemption), which is one of my fave series.

Nope, it's Julian Chagrin.

And the fridge is an Electrolux!
