Picked up a bottle of Thrill Dishwashing Liquid, it still has the give-away Pixie attatched to the bottle. It is a 22oz bottle with 57 cents stamped on the bottom. Can anyone date this particular bottle? Maybe when P&G did the promotion of the Pixie giveaway or by price. Also states on the bottle that now with easy pull up and closeable cap. How about some history on Thrill in general? Thanks!

Loved Peach Thrill
This was the best dish liquid ever made, sure wish I could buy it now.

I liked all of P & G's OLDER
dish liquids.
My Grandmother Loudenback always used Thrill, until it was discontinued, then she went to Ivory.
I believe, but am not totally certain, that Thrill was discontinued around 1973-4.
The current "ultra" Ivory liquid is horrid, and I wish, wish, wish P & G would go back to "classic" Ivory liquid.

washing cars
Funny, I've heard from more than one source specifically NOT to use dishwashing liquid to wash cars.

We do at the shops
Joy is a good all around car wash detergent. Cuts the bug spatter quite well which is important around here and won't hurt the finish. You can buy the professional carwash soap which is fine if one needs the extra quantity but all in all Joy excels. WHAT YOU SHOULD NEVER USE ON A CAR FINISH is Tide or any laundry soap, the granules will scratch thru the clearcoat finish, and detergents like this also tend to streak.

streaking
OK, THAT'S one of the things I'd heard, streaking problems. OK, makes sense.

Dishwashing liquid as car soap
It is ok to use,as long as you don't wax your car. If you polish,or wax the paint finish,dishwashing liquid will strip the wax/polish off.
You can use cheap hair shampoo on automotive finshes without stripping the wax or polish off however.
The best way to wash your car,if you want to take proper care of it,is to use a name brand product that is intended for automotive paint finishes.

Vintage Ivory Liquid
I found a bottle of orginal Ivory at a sale and was amazed at the difference when compared with the new Ultra version. The scent is vaguely similar, but not nearly as rich and luxurious as the original.

Wasn't original Ivory liquid advertised as "so rich you can whip it" (or something similar)? The ad showed an electric mixter and a bowl of Ivory beaten to the consistency of whipped cream. That was impressive!
Has anybody ever used Crystal White in the screw-cap bottle? That was my grandmother's brand. I don't remember her ever using anything else.
As an aside: Stay away from apple-scented Dawn. My mom and brother both tried it, and it took the skin off their hands.

Ivory liquid
In college at the dorms.. I had a roommate who used to love rubbing ivory liquid soap all over his body as a body-wash.
Personally the look and consistency of it was not something I wanted my college buddies to see me smearing all over my body!
Regular scented blue "Dawn" still reminds me of college.
Regular green "Palmolive" still reminds me of mom.
I had a great-aunt who would dunk/dissolve a bar of ivory soap in a small plastic container (similar to a pint-sized Chinese soup container) and dip the sponge in the muck to wash dishes with it.
They do say scents are the strongest bringers of memory flash-backs.

too bad the THRILL is gone
I too loved peach Thrill,it smelled better than any dishwashing liquid ever.I've OFTEN asked people if they remembered it,and virtually no one did.Who here remembers Swan dishwashing liquid in the "pretty" light aqua color?I thought that was a "fun" product also.

I do!
Well, sort of. I don't actually remember Swan, but I have a couple of bottles. I'm pretty sure they're empty. Anyone want one?

Mr. cleanjeans- I remember Swan( swan keeps sudsing and sudsing and sudsing-as the 1961 ad went). Lost track of it for a while-reintroduced in the mid-late 60's. Then it had a pearly green color. Disappeared sometime later. I saw a magazine ad for swan soap on one of those year of birth birthday cards at cracker barrel. 1945, was a bar soap; don't know if lever bros made it then or not.
Peter-I loved Dove-mmmmm, that light fresh smell, creamy rich like a dove soap bar. all the good smellin soaps are missed. But I don't find any modern soap smell that disagreeable.

Crystal White!
I was trying to think of that since this thread started. My grandmother used that constantly. By today's "lasting suds" standards, it was pretty sad but the price won out every time. I remember the cap had a small peg on it that you cut off with a knife that made a dispenser hole... There was a white bottle (regular scent) and yellow (lemon) choice as well.
I found 2/3 bottle of the original scent Ivory liquid at a sale - one of my favorites. The new ultra version smells similar, but not as rich.

I have a bottle of lemon Crystal White under my sink even as we speak. Use it for hand washables, mostly. Ought to last decades, the way I use it!
Also have a bottle of Rose Vel that I got new at WalMart, I think. Was surprised to see Vel again. It's one of those products for the Latino market, as there is more text in Spanish than there is in English. They also had some of that bigass bar soap in a red or blue wrapper. Can't remember the name offhand. Something weird.
