The Rodding Roundtable
Motorhead Message Central => Rodder's Roundtable => Topic started by: Fat Cat on November 19, 2005, 08:03:32 PM
I was thinking about this the other day on the way home from work. There are alot of old advertising slogans that my children have never heard of. I have of course because my parents talked about them as I was growing up.
This came to mind and I was thinking about things like
Firestone - "Where the rubber meets the road"
Esso/Exxon - "Put a tiger in your tank"
Unocal - "The spirit of '76"
Texaco - "You can trust your car to the man who wears the star"
Oldsmobile - "This is Not Your Father's Oldsmobile."
So anyway I would like to create a webpage within the site that lists these sorts of slogans. I am planing to break it down some by type of service or product. I would like to get as complete a list as possible, so if it from 3 years ago or 70 years ago that is fine. I would also like to include things like regional advertising campaigns. So if you have something to add please include it here and I will start compiling a list.
I would like all of you out there to contribute to this as well don't think that someone else later will say something your thinking of now. Lets hear it sooner rather than later.

Here you go one from my childhood might still be used today.
I haven,t heard it in years
L.S.M.F.T. Lucky Strike means Fine Tabaco :!:
"Plop, plop fizz, fizz, oh what a relief it is". "Snap, crackle, & pop". 'Wouldn't you really rather have a Buick?". I think Pepsi was "The pause that refreshes". "Don't squeeze the Charmine!" A few off the top of my head. Larry.
"See the USA in your Chevrolet"
I think it was Esso who used "Happy Motoring"
"Brusha, brusha, brusha, with the new Ipana" (toothpaste)
From an old coffee commercial, "John Arbuckle" says "You get what you pay for"
Now that you've gotten me started I'm sure this will run through my pea brain for days. I have a few, hours long, road trips coming up so I'll have time to think about it.
"Kendall, The 2000 mile oil"
Baseball hot dogs apple pie and chevrolet.
maxwell house good to the last drop
tiporelo(spelling) it's not how long you make it it's how you make it long
Campbells soup Hmm Hmm good
I'd walk a mile for a Camel
Hertz puts you in the drivers seat. CBS, your eye on the news.
Quote from: "Slick 50"Now that you've gotten me started I'm sure this will run through my pea brain for days.
That was the whole idea. I want to see who remembers what.
double your pleasure, double your fun, with double good, double mint gum
bell boy going around calling out "call for Philip Morris, call for Philip Morris
I'd walk a mile for a Camel
Texaco: "You can trust your car to the man that wears the Star" or Alkaseltsor (?) "Plop Plop, Fizz Fizz oh what a relief it is" GPster

"Timex, takes a licking, & keeps on ticking" "Wonder Bread, builds bodies 8 ways". Yes, at first it was only 8 ways. Man, I'm old. Parliment had "The most important 1/4 inch in smoking today" Which was an air gap. Chrysler had "The forward look". More will come. Later, Larry.
Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesame seed bun.

Have a real cigarette-have a Camel
these are all circa 1957, I was in 3rd grade, came from April 29, 1957 Life magazine with cover of 32 Ford 5w coupe being flagged off @ Ft Worth Drag strip. Article includes the famous photo of Norm Grabowski sitting in his T @ a drive- in eating a burger exuding badass attitude!!
Eggo Waffles Let go of my eggo
Benson & Hedges cigarettes a silly millimeter longer

Last week, I bought the April 29, 1957 Life magazine with cover of 32 Ford 5w coupe being flagged off @ Ft Worth Drag strip.
It cost me $2.00

9 out of 10 doctors that tried Camels, went back to woman! Oops!
Burger King--"It takes two hands to handle a whopper." FWIW, I saw that slogan written over a urinal once. LOL!
Also, do you remember these songs that were advertisements on TV in the 1950's:
The Dinah Shore Show where she sang,
"See the USA in your Chevrolet
America is asking you to call.
Drive your Chevrolet through the USA
America's the greatest land of all."
And then she would blow a kiss to the camera.
And The Tennesse Ernie Ford Show where he sang,
"When you do, you will know why we say,
'You're ahead in a Ford all the way'."
[Why can I remember this stuff, and I can only remember 3 of the 5 things I was supposed to get a Wal-Mart?]
Use Wild Root Cream Oil Charlie, It keeps your hair in trim, use Wild Root Cream Oil Charlie, it's made with soothing lanolin.
Use Wild Root Cream oil, Charley, Start using it today , you will have a hard time, Charley, Keeping all the girls away
"Ask the man who owns one" Packard
"The Standard of the world" Cadillac, but in 1905 it was "You Can Kill a Horse but not a Cadillac"
"Somewhere west of Laramie" Jordan automobile
"That frosty mug sensation" A&W rootbeer
"Wouldn't you really rather have a Buick?"
"When you say Budweiser, you've said it all"
This is the one that always sticks in my mind. "You'll wonder where the yellow went, when you brush your teeth with Pepsodent." Or the later version, "Yes, you'll wonder where the yellow went, when you brush your teeth with Pepsodent, now with the NEW and Improved - IMP Formula."
"You'll wonder where the yellow went" was lettered on the tailgate of the Salamanca, New York, Ted Hartman Chevrolet FF/Stock NHRA Record Holding Yellow 1957 Chevrolet station wagon, "The Bad Banana" running a 283HP 283 at my local drag strip, NIAGARA. Did anyone see the coverage of the Niagara Reunion in the new issue of Rodders Digest? I missed being there by one day. My wife had to be back to work so we couldn't stay for the weekend before we drove back to Florida. Sorry, not trying to Hijack this thread.
Looking back on cigarette advertising, there were lots of health claims made by tobacco companies. Here's a few: "Not a cough in a carload" (Chesterfield); "Not a single case of throat irritation due to smoking Camels"; "Smoking's more fun when you're not worried by throat irritation or smoker's cough" (Philip Morris); "Cause no ills" Chesterfield); and "Why risk sore throats?" (Old Gold), "Reach for a Lucky instead of a sweet" (cigarettes are safer than candy). The new L&M filter was "just what the doctor ordered." Chesterfield ads said "NOSE, THROAT, and accessory organs not adversely affected by smoking Chesterfields," and included a report by a "medical specialist." Philip Morris Inc. said their's "takes the fear out of smoking," and "stop worrying. Philip Morris and only Philip Morris is entirely free of irritation used in all other leading cigarettes."
And the worst was the Kent cigarette commercials talking about the advantages of their Micronite filter. Their ads said, "sensitive smokers get real health protection with new Kent" and "The new Micronite filter takes out more nicotine and tars than any other leading cigarette—the difference in protection is priceless." The Micronite filter contained asbestos. Many of the workers making them died young from exposure to the asbestos. I smoked Kents for a while, thinking they were healtier than my favorites, Marlboro reds. Cough...Cough...
Another one popped into my head on the way to work this morning as I was shivering waiting for the heater to catch up.
"Make it hefty, hot, and hearty! Take tea and see!"

"Roy O'brien's got the best deals in town"
Hey Frank did you hear that recently? they are using it on the detroit radio stations again, apparently they are sill in business.
I thought Roy O'Brien was bought out by Mel Farr.
No, the Maypo jingle brought it to mind, because they both advertised on Soupy Sales TV show at the same time when I was a kid. Along with Faygo commercials.
