Euell {sp} Gibbons? He was on the Commerical that started out with his saying "Ever Eat a Pine Tree?" Most parts are edible and they can also be used as a topping on your Bowl of Grape-Nuts Cereal...

Anyone remember any other people that did familiar Commericals, please share them as well...

Annette Funnicello did Skippy peanut butter commercials

Dick Van Dyke did Kodak Camera commercials in the early 70's.

Nancy Walker (best known as Rhoda Morgenstern's Ma) did Bounty Paper towel commercials.

Florence Henderson was the spokeswoman for Wesson oil for 15 years and now is a spokeswoman for Polident.

Loretta Lynn did commercials for Crisco in the 80's

STOP it hurts hurts hurts.

O.J. Simpson was the spokesperson for Hertz rental cars.

 

[westie2]

Lillie Tomlin did all comercials where she had a spot on her white blouse and the water rose to her shoulder and she swished around like an agitator.

Does anyone remember the margarine TV ads in the 1950's that had the phrase: "Polyunsaturated, not hydrogenated, nutritionally unexcelled"? I remember the ad, but not the product or the young woman who was pushing it. I think it may have been Mazola, but not sure.

 

[veg-o-matic]

That's a commercial for Mazola (pronounced "may-zola") oil. The spokesgal called herself "Sunshine Sue."

Sheila McRae pitched Punch detergent.

Let us never forget Rula Lenska, Anna Marie Albergetti, Kati Winters and the dear Mrs Olsen.

Did you hear Kati Winters is in the hospital?
Yep, frozen armpits!

Screw you, Mrs Olsen!

I think Tom Selleck was the first Chaz Man. Chaz was a cologne by Revlon, sort of the men's version of Charlie ("There's a fragrance that's here today and they call it...Charlie!") Thirty years later, it's still my favorite cologne. Bruce Boxleitner was another dude who pushed some kind of cologne--Aramis?

Kelly, you bring up a good question--who the h-e-double toothpicks was Katy Winters? I mean, other than the gal with the sweaty friends? Was she an actress or singer or something? Former Rockette? What?

Anyone remember Carmelita Pope for PAM cooking spray?

Let's not forget Anita Bryant and her Orange Juice commercials of the 70's.....

 

[mrcleanjeans]

tonight,the stars are out

or Dolly Parton pushing Breeze detergent,or Elizabeth Montgomery extolling the virtues of Kindness spray conditoning set,or Chuck Conners standing in a stainless steel Speed Queen washer.How about Marge Redmond,playing narrator and Sister Jaqueline on The Flying Nun,now acting as Sarah Tucker,Cool Whip lady and owner of Tucker's Inn,and OF COURSE, Farrah Fawcett,Cheryl Ladd,and Jaqueline Smith praising Wella Balsam products.Also,Shirley Jones just loved Sunbeam appliances and Pepsodent toothpaste....

 

[nurdlinger]

who the h-e-double toothpicks was ...

I've had this reaction with many a Hollywood star pitching some product. Ann Blyth was one such person. When I was *a lot* younger she did a commercial for something or other. At that time I had never seen "Mildred Pierce" or any other movie she was in and had no idea why I should buy whatever because she endorsed it.

OTOH, I remember with fondness some ads by actors I recognized. e.g. Bert Lahr originated the "bet you can't eat just one" spots for potato chips. When he died, the role was taken over by Jack Gilford who kept it for many years.

Patti Labelle and BB King do One Touch Glucose monitors.

 

[rinso]

Thanks, Bob...Those ads reside somewhere in my triva cortex, but are somewhat fuzzy along with other memories these days. But, here's another one: Who was the young female spokesperson for Blue Bonnet and Fleischmanns in the late 1950's and early 1960's? She wore cat's eye rhinestone glasses and I thought her name was Joyce.

from coffee to Compacts

also,Ruth Buzzi loved her Clorox 2 and Kevin McCarthy swore by the GE Potscrubber II dishwasher.Who can forget the Wicked Witch,Margaret Hamilton delighting in her Good To The Last Drop
Maxwell House,or Lauren Bacall with her High Point decaf coffee.Oh,and was Robert Young pushing Sanka mentioned?Or Joan Collins with Scoundrel perfume,and Linda Evans for Nice 'n Easy

One Touch Glucose monitors.

lol!!!! couldnt you think of something more glamourous? ive heard you work in the medical field but COME ON! LOL

 

[maytagbear]

It may not be

"glamourous", dear brett, but regular use of a blood glucose monitor can help keep a person with diabetes healthy and alive a lot longer than without.

The fact that I happen to have (and use!) a One Touch Ultra b.g. monitor has nothing at all to do with the first paragraph of this reply.

Gene, I know exactly who you're talking about, though I have no idea what her name is. I have her on a couple of other commercials, including Crisco. She had a very distinctive voice; it always makes me want to rush right out and buy whatever she's plugging.

For a short while, Annette Funicello pushed "For Brunettes Only" hair dye...er...color. Was it Frank Gifford who extolled the virtues of the Westinghouse washer with the "hand wash" agitator?

Whatshisname, the baseball player, shilled for Mr. Coffee when it first came out. And didn't Joe Garagiola plug a product or two over the years?

[frontaloadotmy]

Your refering to one of Marilyns

Ex husbands, CB,? "Joltin" Joe DiMaggio?

 

[rinso]

I used to have a One-Touch Basic glucose monitor. LifeScan should have used the plant, Audrey II, from the Little Shop of Horrors as their spokesperson. The machine constantly read "Not Enough Blood." It may as well have said, "Feed me, Seymour."

Thankfully, the technology for these machines improves every day and now most of them need only a very small sample.

 

[veg-o-matic]

Yep, you're right Smoof--Joltin' Joe. I knew it was the guy who was married to Marilyn (who, by the way, plugged gasoline on TV before she became famous), just couldn't think of his name.

Thank goodness we have butch, masculine members like you who are true sports fans.

WHOA! What's with the caps and what's wrong with Anita Bryant.

You grow to love Madge, Mr. Whipple, Mrs. Butterworth, Mikie the Swiss Miss girl and then they go away.

And please, don't add milk.

I wish they'd come out with a DVD with the 70s-80s commercials.
