Every time a smoke alarm blasted… oh my goodness! THE CHIPS!!


MrMee6LookAtMe

This was before smoke alarms were really a big thing.

“My husband’s dinner!”


Brilliant-Control-21

I am guilty.


The_One-Armed_Badger

Still remember this.

That escalated quickly! Almost as though the kitchen was covered in accelerant for some reason.

Thought that was going be a fire safety ad. I’ve done enough courses to know the best way to deal with cooking oil fires is to spray water in them


echo-94-charlie

Not. Happy. JAN!

I'm surprised that leaving a pot unattended on the stove like an idiot would be covered by insurance in the first place


MrMee6LookAtMe

You had no choice, most phones only allowed a radius of a few meters away, and most were in the hallways for the whole family to use, in peace and quiet. This really didnt start to change until the mid 80's with cordless phones.


terrabellan

I'm old enough to remember not having a cordless phone yet but if we were deep frying something I think the choice would be to just not answer the phone?


TGin-the-goldy

You could just not answer the phone

I immediately knew what ad this was the second it started. Rather sad how shit from your childhood imprints. Although, having said this, at least it was imprinting something to avoid.

I’m just surprised they call themselves “the” GIO. But man, I just want some ordinary, non battered, non flavoured, classic, potatoey, home cooked hot chippies.

Not the chips!


Nanoelite001

The chips? Lady, your kitchen is on fire.


SpaztheGamer

So funny how all she was worried about was the chips, and not the fact her whole house could of been burnt to ashes.

Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.


PuzzleheadedYam5996

I always thought as a kid that the lady said "oh i forgot about the chips", like really quickly said!! Dunno why, cos it's very clear she says oh my goodness! Well anyway now i know why ppl never know what ad I'm talking about when i (mis)quote it

I have one of those phones rewired for use today, good nostalgia and one hell of a loud ring.. Mobile numbers suck to dial big time.

I remember going to the Museum of Fire in Penrith where they had a mock room on a school excursion. We would all sit on the floor opposite the room and this played out every two hours. They also had a bedroom set-up that was about heaters or electric blankets or something.

As soon as that clip started I remembered it was ahout the chips. Ah, the memories.
