    The TV advert starred Norman Beaton:

    I’m a Jamaican ginger grower and I very proudly say
    I grow the finest ginger in the world today
    I picks the best and packs it and Mcvities comes to buy it
    Then they bake it into ginger nuts you really ought to try it
    You snap into a McVities ginger nut – you tastes it too
    Jamaican ginger, the worlds best is waiting for you . . .

    I knows it . . . I grows it
