What a wünderful advert...

So who's seen the new Müller ad? It's RETROTASTIC!

The company responsible for this advert is Studio TRI. These guys are also responsible for other great ads such as John Lewis' 'Never Knowingly Undersold' TV Advert, Yeo Valley's The Churned 'Forever' X Factor Advert and my current favourite ad the Walls Talking Dog - "Garage" Advert. All of them completely random, but all of them create great talking points.

Anyway, back to the new Müller ad.....

An advert that starts out with K.I.T.T from Knight Rider is 100% bound to capture my attention. But I never expected the ad to contain quite so many cult cartoon characters. Yogi bear is the second surprise in the ad (but sadly lacking a Boo-boo bear), but just as you're trying to figure the link between Knight Rider and Yogi Bear a whole host of boring business men are being turned into Mr Men and Little Miss characters??!?!? The screen is literally bursting with retro cartoon characters!! I counted 19 Mr Men and Little Miss characters, see if you can find more. The ad starts to take a slightly darker turn and needs saving... Who could possibly save the day? Muttley from Wacky Races of course!

To say this ad left me a little shocked and surprised would be an understatement and I don't really care about the what's, where's and why's of this advert and its links to yoghurt but all I know is I like it.

So may I thank Müller and Studio TRI for creating adverts I genuinely enjoy.

Here's the ad in question, enjoy....

No Tricks this Halloween....just Treats with our 80's Fancy Dress!

With Halloween fast approaching – we have an office full of very excited TruffleShufflers!

We do love any excuse to get glammed up in Fancy Dress - and with head turning results like this, who could blame us?

Perhaps this year Lee could opt for something a little more...'manly'? (We did have plenty of options available, however this seemed like the best idea at the time!)

Apart from the difficult task of deciding what party you are going to – the most important thing is choosing a costume and as always - TruffleShuffle have it sorted. Whether it be as simple as adding one of our retro wigs to an 80’s-tastic outfit or going all out and dressing up as your favourite Super Hero or 80’s icon, we have lots retro halloween costumes to choose from.

I have decided to ditch the home made costume (involving black bin bags and a whole lot of hard work!) and opt for something a bit more exciting:

Planning ahead...

We've all spotted the sparkling Christmas goodies appearing in the shops and although every year I say to myself, 'this Christmas I WILL be organised', I never seem to start shopping for gifts until the last week of December. This year I really don't have any excuses as we have been busily adding tons of new fabulous gift products, here's a little tempter to get you started...

Me love cookie (Cookie Monster that is!)

Although Sesame Street spawned a tonne of my favourite childhood characters, it was Cookie Monster who ruled my heart as a kid growing up!

Yes - Elmo was adorable and I was partial to a bit of learning to Count with The Count but for me, the connoisseur de crumbs was my absolute fave! With his deep, growly voice, and childlike chatter (Me want cookie!) even as a grown up, I can't seem to resist that bright blue fur and trademark googly eyes!

As his name implies, Cookie Monster just loves cookies (don’t we all!) and can usually be found munching away on his favourite treats (OMM-nom-nom-nom...) but luckilly for me, he's also taken time out of his hectic shcedule to star on some of our official Sesame Street Tees!

The perfect way for us grown ups to pay tribute to the voracious monster,  check out some of our exclusive designs below....
