"I want my MAYPO"

"Chew Double Mint, Double Mint, Double Mint Gum" (The Doublemint Twins)

The MAYPO ads -- and remember the cartoon commericals with Marky and his sister. hehe They were always getting into some kind of trouble.

I remember this one particular Maypo commercial where Marky and his sister were at an aunt's house -- he broke a bunch of glasses; forgot what happened during the rest of the commercial.

I remember the Doublemint commericals also.

"It's gonna be an Aviance night !..." (after a chorus of "I'm a Woooooman---W-O-M-A-N!!!!)
(This one may have been from the '70's though)

"Please, mother! I'd rather do it myself!!" (for Anacin?)

And the pitch that went "Excedrin Headache Number 1335...." hehe

SCfan: man, that woman who always screamed, "Mother, please! I can do it myself!" always sounded like she was on the brink. I wouldn't want to meet up with her in some dark alley way! hehe

She sounded like she was ready to go for the old gal's throat, didn't she?? ha

Remember this one: Is it true blondes have more fun? The lady clairol blonde - a silky shining blonde and only her hairdresser knows for The toy ads: Pretzel Jetzel machine which cooked (burned) little pretzels under a light bulb.......or the original gummy worms called "Incredible Edibles" and Creepy Crawlers? There were the culinary discoveries like "Whip n' Chill" which I begged my mother to buy (only to discover it was some sort of over solidified gelatinous glop........Or the Breck girls with their flowing tresses? Then my favorite - for Clarks Teaberry chewing gum, that bizarre little jig called "The Teaberry Shuffle". I mentioned the dayglo green shampoo PRELL earlier. The demonstration of a pearl dropped into PRESS travelling slowly down the length of the bottle as opposed to the same pearl speeding down the competitor's brand. PRELL was like STP and was entirely made of those early phosphate detergents made fierce lather that never dissolved. The playtex panty girdle with the magic fingers which erased five pounds AND "You'll wonder where the yellow went when you brush your teeth with Pepsodent!" I remember them all vividly. Madge the manicurist and her 'dishwashing liquid - you're soaking in it right now!: Palmolive, of course. I watched them all and remember them fondly.

"Look, Ma! No hands!" as the kid careened down the street on his bike. Was that for an aspirin commercial? I think so because the mom was wincing in pain.

"Look, Ma! No hands!" as the kid careened down the street on his bike. Was that for an aspirin commercial? I think so because the mom was wincing in pain.

I knew it would happen to me someday...double post. Ooops.

Very similar to Crest's "Look Mom - no cavities!"

Brylcreem: A little dab’ll do ya
The Alka-seltzer commercial where the guy is poking the fat man’s stomach or the speedy commercials
Hertz – Let Hertz put you in the drivers seat
There’s something about an Aqua Velva man
Cert’s – It’s two, two mints in one
Oh I’d love to be an Oscar Mayer Wiener
Timex - Takes a licking and keeps on ticking
Rice-a-Roni, the “San Francisco Treat.”

I have a bunch more:

The kid that busted into the father's business meeting, chorusing "Daddy! Daddy! I only had ONE CAVITY!"

"You have only one life to live...live it as a blonde!"

Ultra-Brite gives your mouth...sex appeal!

The Polaroid Swinger -- ugh, this is what they named an inexpensive black and white camera. The commercial went "only nineteen dollars and ninety five!"

......Check out this link regarding airline advertising - very interesting!

Mr. Bubble was a big feature in our household...

there's more, but are we talking 1962, or 1972?

Hi fellow Maddicts! Thanks for the memories!

Dry Manhattan, thanks for the link!
Mister Bubble!!! I was a city kid and I would play all Summer in the dirt neighborhood city playground, and then have to de-skeeve in Mister Bubble at night! Talk about ring around the tub!!

How about the Toni home perm commercial; and that Secret deodorant girl Katie; and "I can't believe I ate the whole thing"

"Does she or doesn't she?" - Clairol

"Hertz, puts youuuu in the driver's seat. Today!" (Video of seated man flying through the air and coming in for a landing in the driver's seat of a car.)

It's been mentioned in another thread but Brylcreem - "A little dab'll do ya."

"Brylcreem, a little dab'll do ya,
Brylcreem, you'll look so debonair,
Brylcreem, the gals'll all pursue ya,
Simply to run their fingers through your hair."

Amazing what's stuck in the far recesses of your brain.

I'm curious - did ANY woman ever want to put her fingers in BrylCreem hair? Ick.

Bucky Beaver for Ipana Toothpaste

No Matter What Shape Your Stomach is In for Alka Seltzer, I think, along with I can't believe I ate the whole thing, and that's one spicy meatball.

Remember the live commercials they used to do on the Tonight Show? I remember the Alpo ones with Ed McMahon and the dogs.

Madge from Palmolive
Choo choo Charlie from Good & Plenty

Not sure if from 60's or 70's:
Mikey likes it
Avis-we try harder

Tony the Tiger for Frosted Flakes "THEY'RE GREAT!'

I identify this as more of a 1960's slogan for Enco/Esso/Exxon

1959 - An advertising copywriter in Chicago comes up with the advertising slogan “Put a tiger in your tank.”

......I think it's deeply ironic that this series came out at a time when Baby Boomers are possibly the No. 1 target audience for advertising.

You can't turn on the T.V. without hearing music from The Who's Tommy on a mop commercial, or Dennis Hopper scaring you into retirement investments. How about the one that says, "Respect the van...."

The Mad Men series is aimed at Baby Boomers, and is all about advertising to the people who were kids at the time.

Kind of like Boomer Marketing in Stereo.

Charlie says "Love my Good & Plenty"
Charlie says "Really rings a bell"
Charlie says "Love my Good & Plenty, don't know any other candy that I love so well!"

"Let Noxzema cream your face, so the razors don't!"

You guys have mentioned Brylcreem. My hubby was born in '59 so whenever that ad came out (year?), he said he used to go crazy watching the Brylcreem girl come out of the top of the tube. I think she had on a 2-piece bathing suit? Anyway he was young but today at age 49 he still talks about the Brylcreem girl, LOL!!!!

Give THAT ad man a raise!

"TAKE IT OFF, TAKE IT ALL OFF"... Noxema medicated shave, 1966...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEFHbMDPkE8...
also "Silly rabbit, Trix are for kids"..

Joe Namath wearing pantyhose (!) saying: "If they make my legs look this good...think what they can do for yours." That's a sight that really sticks in your mind! Can't recall the brand but I think it might have been Leggs--they used to come in big white ostrich-sized plastic "eggs" when they first came out.

Dancing cigarette boxes...where they Chesterfield..it was live on a variety show. Can't remember which one, though.

The invisible shield of a toothpaste.

A bottle of White Rain shampoo dripped on our bathroom window sill and took off the paint.

Who wears short shorts? Nair (which smelled like permanent wave solution)

Mama, Can I help...said in a strong southern accent for Shake n Bake.

Soapie soaks you clean...a kid bubble bath in a bottle that looked like characters. Was Soapie the name, I might have it wrong.

"There's always room for Jell-o"

"What's a woman to do?"

Mrs. Olson for Folger's: "That's the richest kind."

"If I have only one life, let me live it as a blonde."

"I'm koo-koo for Coco-Puffs!"

Lucky Charms: "They're magically delicious!"

"Sorry, Charlie, only the best tuna get to be Starkist."

"Rrruffles have rrridges."

Hi everyone! What great ad memories!

I mentioned this on another post. Does anyone remember The Doors song "Touch Me"? (I originally thought it was "Love Her Madly")

Anyway, at the end of "Touch Me" they end the very last line with the AJAX white night line" "Stronger than dirt".

Hi Dry Manhattan! Yes, the ads have been aimed at the Boomers while we were growing up, and now continue. As I have said, if you watch TV today, it's hip to be old! Incontinence,constipation, wrinkles, retirement,
ED, aches/pains, denture care...I could go on and on, but I won't!
I never thought I'd see Dennis Hopper talking about retirement plans on TV!! Wha happened?!

Hi Sizzie...I remember that Shake & Bake commercial "an' ah hepped!" - annoying as hell!

Hey, speaking of bubble bath and soaps, I vaguely remember these soaps for kids shaped like animals, and after you used them, they would grow "fur" for next time. I think they were shaped like dogs, cats, bears...loved Mr. Bubble, the original powder in a box, not that liquid stuff.

Let's not forget Toucan Sam and "oot-fray, oops-lay" for Fruit Loops, as well as Crispy Critters, "The one and only cereal that comes in the shape of animals."
