    Yes do remember the three girls, short medium and tall tap dancing to the Lucky Strike on Hit Parade commercials. Their costumes being a Lucky Strike box, and only their legs and feet showed.

    prell shampoo--"other shampoos are 'thin, watery-watery-watery', but not prell (as they drop a pearl into the bottle, and it drifts slowly to the bottom...)

    halo shampoo--"halo, everybody, halo-- halo is the shampoo that glorifies your hair..."

    salem cigarettes: "you can take salem out of the country, but--you can't take the country out of salem."

    "silly rabbit--trix are for kids!"

    crowd riding on an open bed truck, singing (to the william tell overture tune) "get a lark, get a lark, get a lark, lark, lark..." and shouting, "show us your larks!" (cigarettes)

    Ernie Kovacs advertising for Dutch Masters cigars, and edie adams playing along with it--"why dontcha pick one up and smoke it, sometime..."

    Along with LSMFT was WINSTON which on some game show was turned into "Winston is not so tasty on noodles". My mom had a love-hate relationship with the "ring around the collar" commercial for Whisk laundry detergent. She used to mutter about telling the offending man to wash his neck.

    Did you notice that the most memorable commercials listed here are mostly for cigarettes?

    I haven't seen the one that I think has been around the longest, and is still seen and quoted. The Energizer bunny. "Just keeps on going and going and going . . . . . . .

    I miss having movies available like "in the old days." I think there were late night movies, too.

    All programming used to go off the air at midnight then, too!

    I remember lots of commercials, not always good at recalling them on demand.
    Plop fizz fizz was for alka selzer. Snap crackle pop - Rice Krispies. The song someone put the words to was for Coke a cola.
