“Go to work on an egg” ad banned
An attempt to revive famous TV adverts from the 1950s that encouraged people to “Go To Work On An Egg” have been blocked by regulators on health grounds.
The British Egg Information Service had wanted to bring back the adverts featuring comedian Tony Hancock to mark the 50th anniversary of the British Lion mark.
But the Broadcasting Advertising Clearance Centre said the famous commercials could not be repeated because eating eggs every day went against the policy of encouraging people to eat a varied diet. (REUTERS)
