After having his brain rinsed in the Big Rat a few more times Joe probably thought he was a bowl of Sugar Smacks.

Although it's not shown here I do remember the advert for Sugar Smax and the free plastic models you used to get in them. It would lead to a thundering of hooves down to the kitchen in an attempt to be the one that found it. Although there were four models. An SPV, Spectrum Patrol car, a Maximum Security Vehicle and the Spectrum Helicopter. It was usually an SPV when you did find one. They can go for silly money now but it's crazy to think that they were once just a free gift in a cereal box.

Yes I do recall when I was having a meal in the Post Office Tower - before the restaurant was shut down - a giant lolly was orbiting us. I now know why.

A true blast from the past.. My mum bought me Sugar Smacks in 1967 age 4... Big Up Mr Jim!!!

The one second of magnetic tape crackle at the end of these commercials is just like it was at the cinema.. GREAT upload Thank you! 🏆

Yes! Orbit!! Found both commercials here. Thanks so much. Note that the 2nd advert is meant to be Tony Blackburn in puppet-form, doing the sales pitch; he was approached for permission beforehand and agreed a contract

they still make FAB lollies today

Great watching Steve Zodiac in colour, Guess Lyons Maid had a bigger budget than the actual show (proportionally). A friend showed me these on 16 mm film in the mid eighties, when there was no internet to feast upon such classics, I almost lost it when they came out saying 'Fasten your seatbelts lolly lickers!'

Thanks for bring back some memories, even if it did remind me of my age. I collected all the kelloggs spectrum badges when I was kid and kept them until my parents lobbed out a load of my old stuff after I went to university somehow they missed my Dinky SPV and FAB 1 though, which now sit on the book shelf behind me. Happy days thanks for posting.

for the kellogs box I had to hit the like button

We had NASA. They had Lyons Maid.

Hello until today I never knew these adverts existed amazing !

Fantastic, MrJim! I didn't know these even existed.

Fantastic. thanks for posting

I find it amusing how the Fireball XL5 adverts are in color while the actual show wasn't.

Superb! I ate all these ice-lollies. I don't remember Fab being sold as an ice cream 'for girls'!

Fantastic gathering of the old Thunderbirds and Capain Scarlet Gerry Anderson TV ads. thanks for putting this out there. But i wish you had access to the ultra-rare and hardly seen; Supermarionation *Alien Attack* Jiff Dessert Topping adverts of 1977?!

Oh! Dear, I remember watching these in TV, and the day Britain got the 3rd channel... Gosh! stuck for choice

My mum loved fabs as a child and still does ^u^

I have never seen the Fireball XL5 advert with Professor Matic at the controls, thanks for uploading. I know the three other Fireball XL5 adverts and it is fantastic seeing the Fireball flight deck in glorious Stingray-style colour. The advert with Steve and Venus appears to be the only one with the original puppets - Steve Zodiac looks different in the later adverts and the special effects are better.

These adverts are great. I remember some of them very well especially the Lady P ones. 6d for an ice lolly back then was a fortune... I thonk I was on one shilling a week pocket money so this type of confectionery was sheer indulgence.😮

That Captain Scarlet Sugar Smacks ad was awesome. I'd kill to get just one of those badges.

Great Video! Thanks Mr Jim!

Oh boy oh boy oh boy. This is absolutely awesomely fantastic.

I had the full collection of the car cards and almost all the trains way back then. The 2 stage (Capt Scarlet ) Zoom was sickly sweet as I remember, but I don't remember the sea lolly. Imagine the outcry today if confectionery was targetted at girls! You know we had the Thunderbirds Sugar Smacks but I don't remeber the puddle in our back yard ever moving to reveal a secret launch silo.

Thanks for posting :-)

Dang, to be a kid in the Space Age.

At least we know where Fab came from ;-)

XL5 in colour very unique to these adverts

Use to look out for these adverts in the Astra Cinema sometimes more than the films.

the first one w the ice cream was Supercar!

I yearn for the days when ice creams came with free pictures of trains.

I can remember an ad from the 60s where the Hood armed himself with a pair of scissors snd cut the International Rescue guys' strings. It was horrible at the time.

I wonder if they will do a new advert, it would be awesome reboot the FAB and Zoom lollies with the new series, especially as FAB is still going! This was advertising done right!

A M A Z I N G !!!!!! thanks from Brasil !

Icecream on a stick for 9 pence. Big money in those days.

Nice one Jim love the way he says Zoouum!! fuckin hell they almost look too dangerous too handle

You can't help falling for a Walls...

Very interesting. How did you manage to get these in colour? ITV didn't start broadcasting in it until 1969.

I remember the Zoom picture cards were always sticky !

I wanna box of Mysterons.

Am I the only one who found seeing the Fireball XL5 characters in color a little jarring? I guess I'm just used to seeing them in black & white. Also, they would never allow this kind of blatant commercialism now days, the usual suspects would scream bloody murder! Ah, better days...

So Fabs used to be aimed more towards girls?

Oh Blimey!

Brilliant. Some of those I hadn't seen before. It was a different world then. I don't suppose you could get away with having an ice lolly 'specially for girls' these days!

Oh boy! Famous airplane and engine trading cards! Maybe the next edition will include cards with great moments in classical literature!

"Unfasten your seat belts, lolly lickers!" BTW is the Lyons Maid ad featuring Steve Zodiac the only existing color footage of him? (I know they colorized an episode of the DVD.)

I’ve never seen these commercial’s before!In Amercica,we call it;Ice cream,not ice Lilly’s!

I`m pretty sure, their was a rocket lolly available before Gerry Anderson`s programs, but, I think, they changed the name to Zoom to go with his program`s. I was pretty sure that the Fab lolly was developed especially, I wonder if kids now, know how they came about. I can`t say I remember Super Sea Jet surprisingly. Also Orbit, but, I think I would have been interested had I known. Kellogg`s Sugar Smacks would be called Sugar Puffs in the U.K., I seem to remember collecting some of the Capt.Scarlet badges. All these prices are pre-decimalization in 1971, 6d standing for 6 old pennies or sixpence like the coin, which was 1/2 a shilling, 20 shillings to the £ note as it was then. I believe, I heard the Zoom Lolly had been discontinued, since Lyons Maid was taken over a while back. If you do not mind, I will add to my page. :)

Subbed

Are Sugar Smacks still around today? Because I'm Looking everywhere for them at my nearest grocery store and I can't find them. How Can I get my Thunderbirds Energy If I Can't find my Sugar Smacks?

Is that a puppet of Johnnie Walker 1 min 33 in?

Wait Fab was for girls?

Lyon's maid

Xボンバー編も製作してほしかった

Even International Rescue sold out 😵😸

Why is this age restricted?

If FABs were specially for girls that means I've been misidentifying for 50 years!

I feel outraged that International Rescue and Spectrum would sell out to corporate interests. I feel so manipulated.

Only thruppence!?

Them t'were days..... A lad could buy t'ice lolly for tanner, go t'cinema, buy fish 'n' chips on t'way home plus t'large bottle of R White lemonade and still have change from a shilling. There were plenty of jobs for every on and the only unemployed were poets, artists, and hippies (traditional bone idle useless to society waster types). All kids could read properly by the time they were 10 and Britain still invented and produced most of everything in t'world. Now if you tell Millennials that today they won't believe you.

its F.A.B.
