Elusive advert featuring a blinking eye, possibly for Orange mobile…

This UWTV blog entry comes from one of our followers on Twitter, Emma Graney (@emmagraney). Emma recalls a strange advert from the 90s that could have been for Orange mobile, but she’s not certain… if anyone can help Emma identify this memory, please comment here or drop us an email!

Over to Emma…:

A lot of years ago, around the time of when Orange mobile started, they had a big ad campaign launch with a baby floating in it and clocks ticking down – I think this was around 1995… But before this launch there was, say, a 10 second advert that was shown of an eye blinking, with weird music to accompany it – a bit like those jewellery boxes that play a tune. I still know the tune it played.

I always thought it was an Orange advert and I have convinced myself it was. I can find NOTHING about it. This had led me down the paths of subliminal advertising, making it up and even thinking I had dreamt it. I didn’t! It was on the ad breaks…

And it had something to do with Orange (or did it?) But, there is nothing anywhere about it. Does anybody remember this? It was around 1995-1996. I know it’s true as my brother saw it as well and we both watched the same advert. You are my only hope Unidentified Weird Tv!
