Watch out....
Posted: Mon Dec 24, 2012 12:06 pmWatch out, watch out there's a Humphery about.
The British milk company Unigate produced a series of TV advertisements in the 1970s featuring characters called the Humphreys. The Humphreys were milk thieves whose only visible presence was a red and white striped straw with which to suck up the milk. TV personalities of the time, including Barbara Windsor, Arthur Mullard and Rod Hull featured in the adverts, but the campaign is best known for the slogan: "Watch out, watch out - there's a Humphrey about!"
My partner found some of the red and white striped paper straws in a store recently and my first thought was the advertising campaign. Who says advertising does not work! Any how these photos were inspired as a result of that recollection.
