Elastoplast
Woman's Own: 22nd March 1969
Ah, now this is another lovely advert, not only because the little girl is gorgeous, but because the shot of her is so beautifully framed as well. Her tears look a bit like snot, sadly, but this doesn't affect the arresting effect of the advert! Look at that FACE. Don't you want to give her a packet of Cadbury's Buttons to cheer her up?

Good point: perhaps they're trying to say that the plaster alone won't make her feel better, but will stop infection :) Cadbury Buttons were made for these occasions.
Does anyone else think she looks like Big Brother contestant Nikki Grahame?
Oh dear, that's a depressing thought! She's too old to be Nikki, but I suppose she could be related...
That is a strange thought, isn't it? This little girl is probably about 48 now.
She's probably unhappy in knowing that's going to really really hurt when her mum rips it off making her feel even worse than she did when she got the original wound.
She does look like Nikki a bit lol.
Maybe it's just me, but doesn't she look like she's actually very unhappy with the plaster strip??
