One day meat will come in little boxes

[Sue Flay]

There was an advert (ages ago), which had two men talking. The 1st man exclaimed, "One day meat will come in little boxes", to which the 2nd man replied disbelievingly, "And one day a man will land on the moon!". - What was the product they were advertising?

I remember it fairly well.It was round a medieval camp fire with medieval type music playing in the background,2 men are waiting for the meat to cook over the fire.The first man says "one day(name of 2nd man which I don't remember)meat will come in little boxes"The second man replies,scornfully,"aye,and one day a man shall walk on the moon!" an event equally ridiculous to medieval man.

It was around 1969/70 not long after the first moon landing and I believe the product was frozen Birds Eye roast beef dinners,though the concept of the advert has stuck in my mind better than the product advertised.

As the poster said, Birds Eye Roast Meats...
