Adverts ADVERTS

Cresta Advert

The advert always had an animated polar bear trying to look cool while sipping his Cresta. I remember Cresta being much more frothy than fizzy, and it was a staple drink for kids when I was young.

The advert went something like this:

(A bear is talking to farm animals) Bear: Do you know what all the bears up at the North Pole drink when they’re thirsty? It’s the sea man — the Arctic Ocean! Now me, I’m really into this frothy Cresta — like this strawberry flavour. (Cows moo and chickens cluck etc.) The day they start making the Arctic Ocean in strawberry is the only day this young bear’s going to drink it! Voice-over: Cresta in five fruity flavours. Bear: It’s frothy man!

    Cresta bear used to do this weird thing involving him saying "Rimsky Korsakov" and gadding about.

    I seem to remember a song that went along with crests and I think it went something like.... (To the tune of Teddy Bear) Baby let me be, your ever lovin fan Give me a drink I really love A bottle or a can (strange chicken noise) its frothy man I don't wanna drink the ocean Coz man that's really rough But when it comes to crests Here's one bear that just can't get enough Its frothy man! I sincerely hope someone else can remember this too or it may mean I'm going to need stronger medication!!

      I remember it well .. there was a competition in which you had to arrange the lines of the song in the right order. I didn’t win as I thought “Give me a drink I really love” must be the first line! Makes sense that it should though …

    in the 70's and 80's i worked for coca cola who produced this drink it never sold well and we had to unload it cheap the acid content was so great it rotted the cans and i recall we had to collect a large amount and have it buried like nuclear waste.
