Please help identify these chocolates from the advert...

[Matty]

My sister and I are pulling our hair out! She posted this to me today on Facebook...

"Not important at all but driving me mad......Possible advert in late 70's early 80's for Maltesers. All I can picture is a full box of chocolates and the lid is trying to be closed but there are too many.....Aaaarrrgghhhh what is the advert exactly???? HELP.....Reward given!"

I remember the ad - there is a hand trying to close the lid but the box is too full...

What was the product?? She says it is late 70's but I think it maybe even earlier - we have ruled out maltesers and revels.

Anyone? Please!!?

I am pretty sure the ad was for Revels as I remember.

The slogan was ' A box of chocolates in a bag'.

Agreed, I thought revels as well.

So that is two votes for Revels - good to know my initial memories were correct... My sister does not quite believe me, but I am almost positive you are both correct!!

Thank you!! :-)

It *was* Revels...

"One reason we don't put Revels chocolates in a box"

I'm about as certain as I get.
Still might be wrong, because subjective certainty is like that, but that's how it clearly stands in my memory.

Thank you - it is all coming back to me now!!
