that's a mid-'50s I think.

more receptive as children, not that the advertising was any more effective.

A great one.

Maybe. Or maybe not.

I’d rather fight than switch

Tastes good like a cigarette should

Just thinking about the catch phrases of the products that got me where I sit as I type this;

In the hospital with a severe COPD flare up!

Yay!

Get better soon! That truly sucks.

Hospital stays are not fun.

Not so good, however. No real improvement since I checked in last Wednesday

Have a procedure scheduled for tomorrow morning

We shall see

I hope you are at least getting good care. I spent a week in a hospital bed in Jan. It took several days till they could find the right antibiotic but at least I had terrific staff and good food. Was very happy to leave, tho. So I hope you are surrounded by great people and that tomorrow’s procedure goes well. Please keep us updated.

I’m in a hospital Associated with the Catholic Church, so the references to god are everywhere, including a crucifix in the room!

My night nurse asked if I wanted her to pray for me

I told her I was an American in a modern hospital with insurance coverage surrounded by the finest medical technology available, and while I was raised in a Christian home, I am no longer religious. I appreciate the sentiment and I know it is sincere, but it does nothing for me. I am the last person that needs prayer. Pray for the little African girl who is starving to death as we speak, not a white dude with world wide internet access in the palm of his hand.

She smiled confusedly but politely and left!

I still think of that when I’m brushing in the morning.

Because band aids are stuck on me.

Talking Baby stock brokerage commercials. I thought they were exceptionally well done.

ok, how long ago was that..that I still remember?...let's count...29 plus 18 = 47 years ago?

Oh MY......

Name...

I believe it was a hair product commercial. Clairol perhaps...

Why do I love it? It's perfect advertising. It is a statement that we all want to believe, and it is almost never really true.

... special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun.

Commercial made competitor start using chicken breasts instead of parts.

Not from when it was new, though.

Now what will I do with that taking up brain space?

a little dab 'l do 'ya!

And traveling the US roads, the Burma-Shave ads!

And the "barn artwork" - Chew Mail Pouch"

Electricity can do
So many many things for you
If you want service
Push a little button
Comfort flip a switch
Pleasure turn a dial
That's modern living electric style
You live
Live better
Live better electrically



I couldn't find the video on YouTube, but I can still hear the song

in my head like it was yesterday.

what I walked into a room for. But I can sing this old jingle (from the St. Louis area in the 60s/70s):
I'm a meat man and a meat man knows the finest meats, ma'm, are Mayrose!

And probably most St. Louisan's know how to say "Johnny Londoff Chevrolet"

You're soaking in it!

I still say it all the time.

Don't take a curve at 60 per. We hate to lose a customer

Where's the beef?

Farfel was the best.
