I can't believe I ate the whole thing
You'll wonder where the yellow went when you brush your teeth with pepsodent
wonder bread builds strong bodies twelve ways (they never said what 12 ways)
P.S. I would never run my fingers thru anyones hair that had Brylcream in it. Ugh !!

In SoCal we all heard Go See Cal, Go See Cal, Go See Cal - Cal Worthington, a car dealer, and his dog Spot which was a tiger. I think he had other animals there too. His grandson does the commercials now but he isn't as charming as Cal was.

And my favorite commercial "bet you can't eat just one". I think that was Lays Potato Chips. I can't eat just one.

How about "See the USA in your Chevrolet"?

Maxwell House Coffee-Good to the Last Drop
You can always tell a Halo Girl by the wonderful shine of her hair (shampoo ad)

Jimmy Nelson was the voice and puppeteer for Farfel. He retired to Ft Myers/Cape Coral area of Fl and they would appear every so often in a commercial for a savings and loan bank there

Funny! I grew up in Vancouver, and also remember "Beep! Beep! Jarvis Jeep!
I also remember that obnoxious late night commercial Tom Peterson had for his furnature store, "Wake up! Wake up!" Where he is pretending to knock on your TV screen.

If you didn't buy it from the big O
You know you paid too much.

Bet you can't eat 1

RaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaNeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrr Beeeeeeeeeeeeeer. Ranier Beer sounds like a motorcycle. When I was a kid in Oregon.

I can still sing the Oscar Meyer hot dog song.

I'd rather fight than switch
Tarlton Cigarettes

Yes, double your pleasure, double your fun!!!!

How about the tune to J-E-L-L-O with emphasis on the O.

Or Loretta Lynn in the Crisco commercials. "Crisco will do you proud everytime!"

Ajax, boom boom, the foaming cleanser, bud- a boom boom boom,
Cleans the dirt,
Right down the drain.

Humble became Enco, then Enco became Exxon. Put a tiger in your tank. Or Esso, depending on your state. ALL became EXXON.

what about the singing raisins dancing to "I heard it thru the grapevine".......not sure what they were advertising? Raisin Bran?

I seem to remember a commercial for Philip Morris (cigarrettes?) - the guy with a bellboy hat carrying a big box on a sling ....calling "..........last call for Philip Morris"....I just can't remember the words...

Plop-plop, fizz-fizz, oh what a relief it is! (Alka Seltzer)


Can't remember the "right words"
......When you want shoes with lots of pep...get Keds-Kids-Keds,
for bounce and zoom with every step...get Keds-Kids-Keds,

Timex......takes a licking and keeps on ticking!

I think the commercials of old had catchier tunes that we inadvertently learned the words to.....nowadays, I'm not quite sure what they are advertising for?!? HA!

Dinah Shore:
"See the U S A
In your Chevrolet"

FORD....had a better idea.
(After the Mustang came along)

Last one for me........

You can trust your car
To the man who wears the star
The Big, White Texaco Star!

I think the singing raisins was for SunKist or SunMaid raisins.

Yual Givens for Post Grape Nuts......Its crunchy taste reminds me of wild hickory nuts.

Kellogg's Corn Flakes or one of the cereals "Best to you each morning."
and then Folger's, the mountain grown coffee.

Gerber's Baby Food:
Babies are our business, our ONLY business...

I like listening to old time radio programs. My favorite show is with Jack Benny and for years his show started with the Jello jingle, then Benny would say, "Jello again, this Jack Benny speaking."

Later, Lucky Strikes was Benny's sponsor. I remember their L.S.M.F.T. TV commercials when I was young. Of course, as young boys, we had other words for those letters, which I'm too polite to mention on here.

Does anyone else remember the episode of MASH when a general pointed to his collar and asked Hawkeye if he knew what that star meant? Hawkeye replied, "I can trust my car with you?"

Choo Choo Charlie was an engineer, Choo Choo Charlie had a train I hear, had an engine and he sure had fun, used Good n Plenty candy to make his train run. Charlie says "love your good n plenty"...
"What's the story, Jerry?" (this one could be local)
"I didn't give him cookies-I gave him cheese!"
"They're GREAT" Tony the Tiger

I love that you remembered LSMFT (Lucky Strike Makes Fine Tobacco)!

So, even many years ago....WE were using the "texting" language.......LOL, ASAP, etc.....and the young folks thought THEY invented it! ha!

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.

We had an afternoon matinee show and the announcer was Mel Jazz...he advertised Muntz Tv...Call 333-4236...that's 333-4236....remember...333-4236!!!

Also there was a candy bar commercial featuring a tugboat going under a bridge...."Open wide for Chunky"

A local young boy decided to eat just one. He wrote to the company and told them he had done that, verified by his mother. The company sent him a certificate saying, "I ate just one." But in their letter, they said he didn't have to do that again.

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.

From the valley of the jolly, ho, ho, ho Green Giant!

How about the cartoon commercial where a little boy in a bathtub put on a derby and said to his grandmother, "Hello, madam. How do you do?" And she grabbed the telephone and shouted, "Operator! There's a man in my bathtub!"
