Why I remember this journey so distinctly is that right beside this shop was a garage flanked by a giant advertisement hoarding/poster site, and there, almost spotlighted by the garage lights against the twilight sky was the biggest bar of chocolate I had ever seen in my young life (on a giant full colour poster)!. I remember saying to my mum (and I swear this true), "Can I have that (that being the size) chocolate bar to eat?". The name of the chocolate bar was Cadburys "Extra". I have never forgotten that moment.
Another time was seeing a picture of myself in a lovely bright
yellow short sleeved shirt, which had step and repeated worldwide airline logos all over it. (that would be really trendy now. it couldn't have been trendy then because my father who bought it donned a leather trilby hat 24 hours a day), but all I remember was picking my favourite logo (motif in those days) on the shirt which was "Sabena".There you have it then, the first 2 brands that made me notice. Cadburys and Sabena.
Does anyone else remember their earliest brand experience?
