Buenos Dias. Juan Valdez was a spooky character, we always wished they would make a movie with him starring.
Still drink 100% Columbian coffee because of him.

So is Pontiac GTO, ad campaign in 1965.

"El Exigente".... the demanding one! And, it's Colombian, with two Os.
In the 60s, I was working at a fast food shop, looked out the window in time to see this drive by. I know that they are still being made so it might not an age thing, but the one I saw has been the first and only first and only one I have ever seen.

Jeez, it was only 50 years ago I would be singing along with the TV.
Quoted from hlaj78:That vehicle is in the Henry Ford Museum.
Six of them are still rolling down the highway.
Last year, you could have bought one for $7,000.00. I don't know what I would do with it, but I would have to step up and try to buy that.

Quoted from jrpinball:"El Exigente".... the demanding one! And, it's Colombian, with two Os.
Thanks JR! Been misspelling it for years.
Yeah it was the Yuban/ Valdez commercials we looked for, along with the malt liquor I can't remember right now (The guy setting in a pool on a floating lounge chair and they played the cool music and a barmaid swam out with two bottles on a tray?) Rheingold?
Quoted from hlaj78:That vehicle is in the Henry Ford Museum.
Are you sure it isn't this one?
Wiener in the berm (resized).jpgQuoted from rollitover:One more:
"ancient Chinese secret"
I always commented on the poor acting in that commercial. The Chinese woman was a bit premature with her reaction, when the woman discovers that her "secret" was actually a box of Calgon detergent.
Quoted from cottonm4:When these advertising phrases mean something to you.
1) Clean Rest Rooms.
2) Free Road Maps.
3) Ladies, please don't squeeze the Charmin.
4) Put a tiger in your tank. Exxon.
5) Where the rubber meets the road.
6) Reach out and touch someone.
7) Us Tarryton smokers would rather fight than switch.
8 ) I'd walk a mile for a Camel
9) Folger's, its the richest kind.
10) Good to the last drop.
11) Lava, the hand soap.
12) Heinz loses.
13) M-I-C-K-E-Y Mouse. Micky Mouse.
14) Ring around the collar.
14) Rolaids, consumes up to 47 times its weight in stomach acid.
15). How do you spell relief?
16) Let your fingers do the walking.
17) Be the first kid on your block to get your Magic Decoder Ring.
"How do you handle a hungry man?"
On a recent drive to NJ, I asked my wife if she remembered... "Hi guy!"
Goes with... "one shot, and I'm good for the whole day!"
Quoted from jrpinball:I always commented on the poor acting in that commercial. The Chinese woman was a bit premature with her reaction, when the woman discovers that her "secret" was actually a box of Calgon detergent.
What reaction? She's the one that spills the beans! (And Calgon is a water softener.)
Quoted from cottonm4:And BTW, my dog is bigger than your dog...
Because he eats Ken-L Ration.
Take me away Calgon.
Ring around the collar, ring around the collar.
I want my Maypo!
Quoted from tracelifter:Because he eats Ken-L Ration.

Ring around the collar, ring around the collar.

Say, you are an old fart 
Name me some washing machine detergents like Tide ( still around ), Oxydol,
And what color was Cheer? Come on, now. It is not that hard.
And now, back to our regularly scheduled programming, "Queen for a Day !"

BAB-O, Old Dutch cleanser, Johnson's Jubilee wax (liquid in a glass bottle.
I think Cheer was blue.
My sister got her hair caught in a wringer washer and I was there to pop the rollers open before her hair was ripped out.
Poof!...There goes perspiration.
I am that old.
Quoted from tracelifter:My sister got her hair caught in a wringer washer and I was there to pop the rollers open before her hair was ripped out.
OOOH. You sister should be nice to you. All of the time. Can you imagine the safety guys looking at one of those wringers today?
New Blue Cheer.
Johnson's Jubilee wax (liquid in a glass bottle)
I know the days before plastic. Plastic flowers were just starting to come on. And I was at a Holiday Inn in 1966 when a plastic glass was dropped and then bounced; My parents were impressed with that.
Remember the two letters before a phone number?
Ours were OL
Oliver
Was that so you could remember the number?
Alcona, ON

Haha, still remember ours.

Our phone number in the early 60s...CR-2 2731
CR stood for "Crestwood". Don't know what that meant. I think it was the local exchange, staffed with operators.
If you wanted to call long distance, you dialed "0" and told the operator the number. Expensive, so we hardly ever did it.
Here's an old phone we got at a local thrift store. Just a name and 4 numbers. Did they use 7 digits? SOM-4252 maybe...

20200903_162515.jpgWho remembers when Aunt Jemima only had pancake mix, and they decided to have her hawk syrup as well?
Aunt Jemima pancakes without her syrup
Are like the spring without the fall
There's only one thing worse in this whole universe
That's no Aunt Jemima at all!
And now the "one thing worse" has come to pass...
Quoted from zerbam:hey what about Breeze laundry detergent with a towel in every box......or when the gas station would give you a free drinking glass with every fill-up
I still have a couple of the old Taco Bell Superfriends glasses. Or I did till very recently when my wife knocked the last two off the counter.
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:...you know that the first toilet appeared on a Leave it to Beaver episode.
Ward, you were a little rough on the Beaver last night..... 
Quoted from zr11990:I still have a couple of the old Taco Bell Superfriends glasses
I still have some Star Wars glasses that I think came from McDonalds, but could have been Burger King.

Some of these old phones are worth some bucks. Yours woulds be worth researching.
Quoted from JohnnyPinball007:I still have some Star Wars glasses that I think came from McDonalds, but could have been Burger King.
I had a McDonalds Darth Vader glass. It was used regularly and got broken.
Late 1960's I had a Micky Mouse Fork and Minnie Mouse spoon from a gas station promotion. I threw them in the glove box. If I was out and about and ran into food someplace, I was all set.
No idea what ever happened to them through the years.
LTG : )
Quoted from jrpinball:I always commented on the poor acting in that commercial. The Chinese woman was a bit premature with her reaction, when the woman discovers that her "secret" was actually a box of Calgon detergent.
My bad. It was actually the customer who was a touch ahead of cue. See, the memory is going!
Quoted from DanQverymuch:What reaction? She's the one that spills the beans! (And Calgon is a water softener.)
Correct. It was a detergent additive, not a detergent.
Quoted from jrpinball:My bad. It was actually the customer who was a touch ahead of cue. See, the memory is going!
Yeah, she raised her eyebrows just a bit too quickly. My criticism was always that I thought a Chinese laundry would buy their Calgon in bulk, not a small retail box. Or install a water softener!
Here's the three-slot payphone that I have in my gameroom:
Payphone 2 (resized).jpgPayphone 1 (resized).jpg
That phone number is actually my current phone number.
I have a couple of other old-time phones that I still use in my house. A candlestick, a Western Electric 202, and a Dreyfus phone (like you saw on "I Love Lucy"). All of them work perfectly.
... when you read through all 42 pages of this thread and realize you know or can relate to over 95% of them.
Quoted from jfh:... when say “It’s Prince Spaghetti Day” every Wednesday.
"An-thon-eeeeey!!!!!"
Quoted from Scotty_K:"An-thon-eeeeey!!!!!"
Sad news, but Anthony Martignetti passed away last week at the age of 63. RIP
