I was enjoying some grass jelly for dessert this evening and I ended up searching for a grass jelly drink commercial that I used to see on one of the Asian TV channels back in the 90s when I was a kid. That rabbit hole led me here. This stuff is a bit before my time, but I noted the Japanese and American cigarette commercials. The soundtrack for Mild Seven legit slaps. That tourist board commercial also cracked me up. I imagine many Hong Kongers wish the buffet-destroying tourists from the mainland had better manners.
ah, such nostalgic feeling. i am reaching out to lovers of old hong kong tv commercials for help. my sister was in a commercial on hong kong tv in 1970 and/or 1971. it was for an airline. probably boac or maybe cathay pacific or another is even possible. she was about 5 years old, had long blonde hair, and ran up to her "mother" in the ad. i apologize for the vagueness of the description but it was a long time ago and i was very young. i do remember how excited we were the first time it aired. and how stupid that excitement seemed after we had seen it hundreds of times. if you know this commercial or have it we would love to see it again. if i could find this piece of video it may make her, and me, happy.
