Spinoff of 70's thread

[jenjie]

"Growing up in the 70's" has been such a fun topic! I've got a similar one. What commercials stand out in your mind from when you were growing up? I'll start...

Don't squeeze the CHARMIN!

CALGON, take me away!

Ancient Chinese Secret, huh? (Calgon laundry soap)

Reese's Cups - Your chocolate is in my peanut butter! Your peanut butter is in my chocolate!

I like pizza, but it doesn't like me (Alka Seltzer) Plop plop, fizz fizz, oh what a relief it is!

Jen, if you have always been in NJ, you'll remember this local one:


"If you've got a passion for fashion..
If you've got a craving for savings..
Just take the wheel of your automobile,
And swing on down TO.....IDEAL!!"


Other ones...


Gentlemen prefer Hanes

How do you spell relief? R-O-L-A-I-D-S!!

 

[elgerber]

This one I am not sure, Alka Seltzer or Rolaids...

"I can't believe I ate the whole thing"

Erika

 

[Boston Tea Party]

LOL!!

I was just thinking about this!

I was singing that "Union Label" song as I was cleaning.

Scary!!!

Wait a minute. It may not have been an actual commercial but a skit from Carol Burnett. Darn brain's all fuzzy.

Battle of the Network Stars- it is so so 70's!!! Caught this on Trio Network a few months ago. Brought back so many memories.

 

[Phrebert]

I'd Like to buy the World a Coke.

 

[jenjie]

These are great!

True story here - I am actually from Philly but the Ideal store is actually still in Hammonton, NJ. I was working at a summer camp in the area about 15 years ago and was so excited! Yes, the song kept running through my head. I just HAD to go to Ideal. What a disappointment. All the clothes were for older ladies. It was like a time warp.

That line from Connect Four - dh and I say that all the time - and bought a new game over Christmas.


How about... We wear short shorts.. (Nair)

What was the shampoo...."And they told two friends and they told two friends and so on and so on and so on"

 

[elgerber]

Was that shampoo Faberge? With Farrah Fawcett?

Got another one...

"Gee your hair smells terrific!"

"Honeycomb's big...yeah yeah yeah...
It's not small..no...no...no..."

My cousin and I used to love the "Charlie" perfume commercials. I think the lady would underline her name in lipstick. We used our mom's lipsticks for that.

 

[luv2nascar]

Oh the Ideal took me back started to read it & DH finished it from memory.

How about "That's a spicey meatball".
I can bring home the bacon
fry it up in a pan
and never ever let you forget I'm a woman
enjoule (I have no idea how to spell that perfume)

 

[CamColt]

Oh my goodness....what memories!

Who wears short shots?

 

[Realgrumpy]

"I'm a pepper, he's a pepper..."

 

[JetMom]

"Mommy the elephant has wrinkly pantyhose just like you!"

 

[Realgrumpy]

Mean Joe Green throws the jersey to that kid..."Hey kid, catch!"..."Thanks Mean Joe!"

 

[lisajl]

"I can bring home the bacon...

Fry it up in the pan...

and never, ever let you forget your a man!" ...Enjoli

I'm not sure when this little ditty was popular, but I just thought of this this AM -

"Is it live or is it Memorex?"
