Regis and Kelly and Mark... Apparently Kelly puts up with Mark very well, since they met on the set of an ABC-TV soap opera (I think it was "General Hospital" but am not sure), fell in love and got married both on the soap and in real life... BTW, pturo, Kathie Lee turned Christian as a...

...and Snowy, and Vivid and Easy-On and Yes... French's Foods, as you already learned when you linked up with them, is a unit of Reckitt Benckiser, makers of the above mentioned laundry products...of course, Profit and Gain makes Pringles...

cords are takers I always heard that cords (as in corduroys) were takers--they picked up threads faster than anything in a washload...

Hooray for "Hazel!" The Baxter kitchen was originally furnished with what looks like an O'Keefe and Merritt gas range and an RCA Whirlpool gas refrigerator. The original opening in 1961 shows Hazel taking a freshly-baked batch of cookies out of the oven. As she pauses to enjoy the fragrance...

The perfect appliances for your real-life world... Hey, tomturbomatic: People hug you...appliances can't! (;-<) Now to bongobro's dream appliances: TL: Porcelain top (not that cheap painted crap!); lighted backsplash (those high-efficiency fluorescent bulbs would be cool...full (tempered...

Adora the Exploradora? If I've seen it correctly, "Adora" is a line of GE appliances sold specifically at Home Depot stores--not just a washing machine... And maybe Whirlpool used a different campaign in Germany than they did in the U. S., because they never used calypso music to advertise the...

Welcome from bongobro! Hey, toploader--welcome to our laundry-lovin' family...you're gonna find some cool people here! (how you managed to watch that dishwasher without flooding the kitchen or breakin' that storm window--that took real cojones, bro'!) Enjoy! Charlie

"You can be SURE...that somebody has a Westinghouse ad! First, the washing machine that conks out in the 1953 "I Love Lucy" episode looks like an early ABC-O-Matic or Kelvinator washer (the window in the lid and the dials on top give it away, and Westies were front-loaders back then)... Now...

This isn't lawnmower.com, dude... care to guess what my guess is...the dryer looks ten times better than that damn lawn tractor!

Hoover Lark=Hoover Quik Broom? Hey, partscounterman! That Hoover Lark advertised in that old Trailer Topics mag looks almost like a 1979 Hoover Quik Broom that my mother-in-law owned for years--and still kicks ass when it comes to cleaning up little messes! 1963...almost 45 years ago...what a...

In the beginning there was... laundryshark, if you're referring to the "big bang" commerical in which the explosion morphs into a tornado which in turn morphs into a bottle of "all" small and mighty, yeppers! I've also seen the new Tide Pure and Natural (or whatever it is now!) commercial with...

you got it down, bro'! Damn, Chuck, are you sure you didn't spend some time in the South? That's as southern as you can get! Awesome!!!!

so that's where it went... I've seen liquid Oxydol in Schnucks markets in St. Louis, but on the other hand, Oxydol powder seems to be doin' a disappearin' act in St. Louis stores! Has the oxygen finally run out for the Ox?

Suddenly it's 1958! hey, lightedcontrols! gonna have to check that out! Now to dig out some of those old Martin Denny albums and start practicin' some bongo riffs for cocktail-lounge music!

That ain't the way I heard it, McGee Cheer was never sold as a laundry soap...only Duz and Oxydol were sold first as soaps and then detergents. Oxydol soap was discontinued in 1952 when "New Detergent Formula Oxydol" was introduced. Duz Detergent ("Blue Dot Duz with Bluinite" was launched circa...

Anyone for a Benton Harbor road trip? When I bought my Maytag Performa TL in 2002, I thought I was gettin' away from Whirlpool (the two previous machines we had were a '79 Kenmore and a '93 Whirlpool, the latter I won in a Tide contest)... Truth is I had wanted to get the "Dependable Care"...

it's tough to follow a legend... Some observations about the "DREW Price is Right" (remember, the 1972 revival with Bob Barker was called "The NEW Price is Right!"): Drew Carey had every reason to be jumpy the first couple of shows, since he was following a legend of 35 years on "TPIR" and 50...

okay...ya talked me into it... I don't have a pic of yours truly playin' the bongos, but one will show up shortly! Enjoy!

We mean CLEAN??? The Bissell cleaning products found in Big Lots are NOT made by the company that makes Bissell carpet cleaners and vacuums. They are manufactured by Penn Champ, a regional chemical company that makes cleaning products and solvents for many grocery and drug store chains...

It's "BLUE MAGIC!"..."BLUE MAGIC!" In an out-of-print book on Procter & Gamble called IT FLOATS (1958), author Albert Lief explains why Cheer became BLUE Cheer: As laundryshark's link notes, the first Cheer formula was white, not blue. A P&G advertising man was the one who made the suggestion...
