Another 'Remember?'
 

herekitty started that thread about "remember when" & that made me think of this...what are some commercials & jingles that you remember?

My dad would get upset cuz we kids would eat all the bananas before they were nice & ripe. Thats when I 'learned' this jingle from a Chiquita Banana commercial. That lady banana with the fruit in her turban sang ... "When they're flecked with brown and have a golden hue, bananas taste the best and are the best for you!"

ajax the blue dot cleanser bub bub ba bub

Frito Bandito...very un-PC...yet funny

my mom told me that my favorite commercial was Maxwell House Coffee with the perculator glass bulb on top ... 'good to the last drop'

I'd stand in front of the black & white TV watching that bubble up into the glass bulb on top of the coffee pot!

I used to like those "Id like to teach the world to sing" coke commercials:)
...yup Im a sap! or that old maxwell house christmas commercial when
the son comes home from college. I think some years they still play that!

And the Publix commercials at Thanksgiving and Christmas.....makes me cry every single time they come on. You'd think I'd learn..........:rolleyes:

That Maxwell House commercials gets to me, too.

And the Christmas songs they play on the radio.....they really should give a "Mascara Alert" before they play those.....especially "The Christmas Shoes"......I just have to turn the radio off unless I'm by myself! :o

Please don't squeeze the Charmin!

You'll wonder where the yellow went!!!

And you can't cheat and look it up.

You have to use your brain.

I remember my Mom thinking that commercial was racy!! :rolleyes: If only she could see what we have to contend with today on the boob-tube!

******

Lucky Strikes something...?

remember
 

Here's one from high school (yup I am dating myself)
:)
"Is it soup yet??"

[QUOTE=kicker;414928]Lucky Strike Means Fine Tobacco.

Parkay commercials, when the Parkay box was arguing with someone in Spanish if it was butter or "margarina"...

and a laundry commercial where an Asian couple owns a dry cleaner. The hubby had told a customer his secret for getting stains out was an "ancient Chinese secret."

The wife looks at the camera and grins, shakes some cleaner in a box, and says, "Ancient Chinese secret, Huh?"
This was after my boys had gotten obsessed with Star Wars...they thought she said, "Ancient Chinese Secret, Han..." so that was always a big joke in our family...

Imperial Margarine commercial. Where the dad takes a bite of toast with Imperial on it and trumpets start to blow and a crown appears on his head.

The kids are causing a 'hard day' & the mom cries "Calgon take me away" Calgon was/is a water softener to put in your warm bath & soak in.
When my kids were little and they & the neighbor kids were arguing with the bully kid, they wouldn't calm down & I threw up my hands & said 'Calgon Take Me Away' (but I don't buy it really).

I don't mean to 'break all the fun' but....who said Josephine the plumber? Maybe thats kinda where the title "Joe the plumber" came from. But he is named Joe & he works for a plumbing business.??

Josephine the Plumber - TVs favorite plumber was Josephine, the mascot and spokesperson for Comet Cleanser. Played by veteran actress Jane Withers, Josephine the plumber dressed in white workers overalls and freely gave advice to her customers on the best way to get stubborn stains from sinks and tubs. Of course, her recommended product was "Comet Cleanser." Comet is a tough cleanser with a no-scratch formula. It can be used on porcelain, stainless steel and fiberglass safely and it kills germs like Staph, Salmonella and Pseudomonas. And because Comet contains bleach it is ideal for cleaning toilets, sinks and tubs. Wow! no wonder Josephine likes this stuff. In 2001 Procter & Gamble Company sold their Comet Cleanser product line to Prestige Brands International.

My Dad name was Tom and he always said LSMFT stood for "Lord save me from Tom"!!


He smoked Lucky Strikes for years and died of lung cancer. Ironic huh??

WHERE'S THE BEEF?????

I think her name was Clara Peller (the older lady who always said into the camera: )"Where's the Beef??"

I think it was for a Wendy's commercial???

Bucky Beaver. Brusha, brusha, brusha.

Choo-choo charley. Good and plenty.

I miss Mr. Whipple!!!!

And remember "Ho ho ho, Green Giant!" and he had his little buddy sprout!:D

Was the Noxema one Cybill Shepherd?


You're not fully clean until you're Zestfully clean!

Mr. Clean gets rid of dirt and grime and grease in just a minute Mr. Clean is stronger longer 'cause there's ultra power in it, Mr. Cleeaan!

I remember Lorretta Lynn used Crisco to make her Mama's pie crusts and fried chicken recipes

and Florence Henderson was all about Wesson Oil! :)

Something just came to my mind when I heard an opera commercial of some sort. This commercial song is for Rice Krispies. The person sang it to the tune of a well known opera song.

We're out of Rice Krispies
We ran out of Rice Krispies
and my tears will not stop
till I hear snap, crackle & pop

Hey, I just remembered something I heard yesterday while listening to the radio. Do you know what else you can hear Tony the Tiger singing (well, it happens to be the same guy that does the voice of Tony the Tiger) -- that Grinch song.....you know....You're a mean one Mr Grinch

This thread brings back so many good memories even though I was way too young to remember any of them! :p

You are right Melody; her name was Clara Peller and it was Wendy's.

I met her as she was the Grand Marshall in a parade in our town of 900 people in Iowa years ago at the height of her popularity.

She was there visiting family and was just thrilled to be in the parade.

She was just so sweet and really funny.
