I seem to be obsessing on TV adverts, but today's hot weather brings back memories of a jingle we used to get on TV advertising (many years ago, probably Sixties).

When it's eighty in the shade
Swish yourself a lemonade

But I can't for the life of me remember the brand being advertised. Was it Swish, or perhaps Schweppes ?

I've tried googling, but all I can find is a calorie reference to Swish Lemonade in a fitness site.

Could have been - in fact it looks like the answer - I don't get any sound on that clip but it looks as though it would match the jingle. It doesn't bring back any specific memories but it is a very long time ago.

Thank you.

P.S. I used to love those two-line jingles, like "You'll wonder where the yellow went, when you brush your teeth with Pepsodent" etc. They seem to stick in the mind (mine anyway).
I don't remember it and I can't find one with sound but it fits in with swishing yourself a lemonade.

Yes, I think you're spot on. A good bit of searching.
I fondly remember the ad with the chap getting his lemonade out of the fridge with his daft antics along to the tune "R. Whites lemonade"

He was the secret lemonade drinker!
Another version, Elvis is the guitarist on the right!
