Ooh, blimey. Those of us born from the mid-70s onwards won’t have remembered that it was once normal for shampoo and the like to be in glass bottles. Just think about that for a moment. Ouch. I drop bottles in the shower almost every day!

I’d quite like to see some glass shampoo bottles. I imagine them being like the sorts of things you see in old-fashioned chemists windows with embossed lettering rather than stick-on labels.
Btw, does anyone else find themselves reading the blurb on these adverts in their heads in the voice of Raymond Sinclair from the late Kevin Greening’s old radio shows?
