It certainly was a different era back then and a company could get away with a little more political incorrectness, all in an honest attempt to push more product!

1. American Airlines sexy flight attendant. Think of her as your mother.

2. Use Listerine antiseptic because you can lose your man in a minute!

3. Watch out for that Peter Pain. Rub in Ben-Gay.



4. I need one of these Campbell’s soup tote bags!

5. Canada Dry ginger ale, it’s gingervating!

6. Canadian Club, your mom wasn’t your dad’s first. Damn right your dad drank it.



7. She’ll be happier Christmas morning with a Hoover. Enough said.

8. Colgate dental cream. They pass up the girl with glamour … for the girl whose breath is sweet and clean!

9. Pepsi, so young, so fair, so debonair. Pepsi sure was going after a different market back then.
