Yes Toggleswitch, OJ was the spokesman for Herts Rent-A-Car, and I understand they really made a killing then.

Gene From Boise-
Yes, I'll second that. It's bad enough to stick fingers all the time without having to re-stick. I currently use an Ascensia "Contour", and so far have really liked it. I've had it since August. They've come a long way even from the meters of just a decade ago.

Ancient Chinese Secret... HUH?

I'd kill to see that commercial again. It is permanently ingrained in my memory. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong...

Patron: "How do you get clothes so clean Mr. Lee? "
Mr. Lee: " Ancient Chinese Secret! "
Mrs. Lee " My husband, some hot-shot. Here's his ancient Chinese secret - CALGON."
Narrator: "CALGON with it's two water-softeners helps soften water so detergents clean better. In hardest water, CALGON helps detergents get laundry up to 30% cleaner."
Mrs. Lee (to husband behind curtain) " WE NEED MORE CALGON!"
Patron: "Ancient Chinese secret.... HUH?"

Ancient chinese secret

I pretty sure the washer was a 70's style Speed Queen, not a GE filter Flo...Am I wrong?

The washer in the Ancient Chinese Calgon

spot was a GE/Hotpoint machine.

I was deeply amused by that ad.

Don't see a lot of tv anymore, but when I do see tv, most of the current commercials are so boring and careful.

I loved the Volkswagen ads of 5-7 years ago, particularly the Jetta ad with the hetero couple in New Orleans, and the Cabrio ad with Nick Drake's "Pink Moon" as the music.

More Calgon?

The commercial for Calgon showed a poor MOL GE agitating without the filter and STUFFED to the gills. Nothing ancient about the science of overloading washing machines!
