Instant mousse - made with water

[Fruity Oranges]

Hello, I'm new here and I think this is a fantastic website!!

I wonder if anyone can remember an advert for an instant mousse. I'm sure it was late 70's or maybe even early 80's. I remember it being a big deal at the time because the only mousse you could get before this was in the freezer section (eg. Supermousse).

I also remember the tv ad for it - and here lies my problem. The theme tune was 'hoots man there's mousse loose aboot this hoose' and a crazy scottish man with a kilt going around an old house with a mixing bowl.

I know that the tune has also been used for a wine gums advert but the words for that are 'hoots man theres juice loose aboot this hoose'.

If I remember rightly there were lemon and I think strawberry flavours - any ideas? Or - even better a clip of the advert?

Thank you.

Hi there Fruity Oranges,

Welcome to DYR. I have been looking for the Mousse made with water, haven't found anything yet, but I'll keep looking!

Hi Karen,
thanks for the welcome and the searches. I've had a little success at work today - a colleague also remembers the advert (she's about my age), so I know I'm not imagining it!

I've trawled through youtube to see if I can find anything, but nothing yet
Thanks again

I think I do yes... but when the Maynards Wine Gums got mentioned on here way back, I thought I'd confused things in my mind over the years, but I'm fairly sure I remember "Moose loose" as well as "Joose Loose", but there is no evidence that I can find that the song was used in two seperate adverts.
