80s advert, "I'll be your best friend"

Anyone remember the above advert? I think it was a boy that had a packet of sweets and he was deciding who to give one to. One of the kids says "i'll be your best friend".

 

I can't remember much more than that, I think it was the late 80s?

 

Thanks :D

I remember vaguely bud, but don't know. it's bugging me now too.

Really tempted to say Kia-ora but it was I'll be your dog...

 

I'm thinking Rolos but I can't be sure.

 

The way the kid said it was really annoying. I'lllll beeeee your best fwieeenddd.

 

Something like that lol.

It could still be rolos though the bit I remember isn't the catchphrase of the product, it's simply the hook of that particular advert. For all I know right after the kid is denied the rolo, after offering to be the persons best friend, it could have rolled up in the screen with the voiceover "Do you love anyone enough....." etc :D

i#ll be your best friend was a common saying in my primary school, in the early 80's, so maybe you're not checking far enough back :)

 

It was primary school for me too. I vaguely remember the advert but the sole reason that I remember it at all is that it became common to say "awwww but I'll be your best friend" to get something you wanted... in reference to the ad.

 

I didn't start primary school till 1985 though so it was definitely after that. I'm thinking most likely 87/88.

 

Where did you find the Rolo ads Peter? Are you sure you watched them all?

 

I've also been trying to find the 80s cherry coke advert. It MAY have been early 90s though.... "Cherry coca cola, cherry coke, cherry coke.... it fizzes right out of your mind. Something something start of it, it's a new twist" etc.

 

I know, I know, it's sad lol.
