Lets talk advertising slogans

Wheaties the breakfast of champions
Plop plop fizz fizz, oh what a releif it is
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?]

"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"

[Grandadeo]

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...
