Nobby's Memorable Slogans
Nobby's is known for its catchy and funny advertising slogans. One very famous slogan is "Nibble Nobby's nuts." These ads started appearing on Australian television in the 1980s. They often used a mix of real people and animated cartoons to make them fun to watch.
Nobby's in the UK and Ireland
In 2005, Nobby's nuts also became available in the United Kingdom and Ireland. They offered different kinds of nuts and crisps there. The brand was presented as fun and full of flavour. It was aimed at men and had a unique sense of humour.
British TV ads for Nobby's featured a musician named Noddy Holder. He was the singer from the rock band Slade. In the ads, people in pubs would sometimes confuse the brand name "Nobby's" with his own name, "Noddy." These adverts were shown later in the evening because of their playful humour.
