Old Commercials

I thought this deserved to be its own post in case not everyone reads the comments...

Brian found this collection of black and white commercials. I enjoyed the awkward silence at the end of one of the Remmington commercials. The guy is just standing there holding this 25 pound razor for 10-15 seconds. "Remember the demonstration with the peach and the hairbrush"... what the hell??

How about the boiling egg band-aid. I hope I never have to stick my hand in boiling water. But if I do, I hope I'm wearing a band-aid brand band-aid.

This may be the first and only time in history that secret agents were used to sell deoderant. Of course now they're used to sell car insurance so I get we haven't come that far. I wonder what General Ripper would have to say about Irium.

OMG. I have found something for Vintage Bug. Recently sent to me from a 1955 Good Housekeeping magazine. Who do I forward this to? I think Andi has the email.

We remember most of those ads, especially the Pepsodent one. Wonder how much those Yankees, actually I think they were Brooklyn Dodgers, got paid for acting like dorks.
