What about a thread on catchphrases from the past. If this has already been done, please point it out and reference the thread number. Does this sound fun? What should the rules be? Let's try and see what we remember without looking anything up at first. If this isn't fun, don't post and it will fade. I'll start.
G.E. We bring good things to life. Maytag. The dependability people. You can be sure if it's Westinghouse. Everyone's happier with a Hoover. See the USA in your Chevrolet. (Maybe we should keep it mostly to appliances. List could go on forever.) Singer is sewing made easy. |

Once upon a time, when Ronald Regan was their spokesperson, GE used a phrase "Progress is our most important product".
My favorite of that era has to be "Live better electrically".
Just one more: "A KitchenAid for every kitchen" - I guess that was used in the late 50s and early 60s.
Fun thread - thanks for starting this Brian! |

Wasn't there KitchenAid, for the way it's made. Or I'm I getting my brands mixed up?

"Knock on any Norge" "It beats, as it sweeps, as it cleans", Hoover. ( maybe the most truthful jingle). "Kenmore, at work in more American homes than any other brand" |

Eddie, the rest of the Brylcream jingle was:
Brylcream , a little dab will do you, use more only if you dare, but watch out the gals will all pursue you, they love to get their fingers in your hair. This one may be regional, but I'll bet Ralph remembers it: Is your engine sick and tired? Want your car to run like new? Automotive Enginerring, pleases thousands, why not you? Packard ask the man that owns one. When better cars are built, Buick will build them. Wonder Bread, builds strong heathy bodies in twelve ways. Carnation from contented cows. M&Ms, melts in you mouth, not in your hands. Eddie This post was last edited 02/23/2017 at 13:27 |

Ralph, I'll never forget the Automotive Engineering jingle. When I was a Directory Assistance operator in 1976 I was bored one evening when a call came through asking for their number. To break my boredom, while I was looking up the number I sang the jingle to the customer, who laughed. Unbeknownst to me I was being remotely observed and when the supervisor pulled me off the board to discuss the observation he said I did great, but even though the customer was entertained by my performance, don't do it again, the company can't be perceived as giving preferential treatment. It still didnt stop me. I continued to sing to my customers whenever I thought I could get away with it. They even started to ask for the Christmas operator when I started to sing, "Merry Chritmas from Ma Bell may I have you number please", to the tune of "Deck the Halls with Boughs of Holly".

Or how about, "See the USA in your Chevrolet, America is asking you to call" , as sung by Dinah Shore.
And for Bay Area natives: "See Ellis Brooks today for you Chevrolet, the corner of Bush and Van Ness. He's got a deal for you, oh what deal for you, a Chevy deal that you will like the best!" Eddie This post was last edited 02/23/2017 at 14:23 |

When I worked in the on-site reservations office at the glitzy Red Lion Inn during the early '80s, I took a call from Pete Ellis, who owned a shady Dodge dealership in Sunnyvale. He was totally low key and pleasant, and when it came time to ask for his business/billing address, I stopped myself as soon as I started and told him, "Never mind," because his ads all ended with a chorus of kids singing "Pete-Ellis-Dodge, 1095-West-El-Camino-Real, Sunny-vale" complete with bouncing ball, which belongs in the California ear worm hall of fame.
To my "Never mind" he dryly replied, "You like that, huh?" Not really, but it had been drilled into anyone who watched TV back in those days, particularly the amusing public access level of programming on Channel 20.
No doubt the attached clip aired on KTZO. If Paul from the Diamond Center creeps you out too much, FF to the 1:00 mark and check out those beautiful used cars.

Yeah, hot and hunky Carlton put the gay undertones on TV 20 way over the top. It was still KTZO back then. Gabbert had a way of using call letters that matched frequencies. His FM station 101.3 was KIOI. On the AM dial, "The Nifty 1050" call letters were KIQI -- not as clean, but he had a theme going. My bet is that KIOS was already in use. |

I have this jingle on a floppy plastic disk, the kind that was inserted into magazines as advertising. Assuming that it's a 45 rpm. If anyone wants it, you can have it. No guarantee on audio quality, though!
And for Hartford, CT-area people, who could forget Bill Savatt Jewelers--"See Savatt, You'll Have It." |

Another Alka-Seltzer: "I can't believe I ate the whole thing."
And Burger King. I never liked Burger King, but the jingle stuck in my mind. "Hold the pickle, hold the lettuce, special orders don't upset us all we ask is that you let us serve it your way." "Have it your way, have it your way at Burger King. " |

OK, the first I thought of when seeing the topic title, were more social than mechanical. As in,
"You're either on the bus or off the bus." and, "If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem." Lest we forget, and some of those old progressive slogans may need to come back in the next four years... As for vintage stuff, I'm reminded of "Plymouth Makes Great Cars, and Good Service Keeps Them That Way"... Not to mention, "At'sa some-a spicey meat ball!" "Where's the beef?" "Rice-a-Roni, the San Francisco Treat!" (except the factory was across the bay)... |

You get a lot to like with a Marlboro, filter, flavor, pack or box.
Only Parliament has the filter that's in, recessed in. Winston tastes good, like a (thump-thump) cigarette should. I'd walk a mile for a Camel. A hint of mint makes the difference, so cool, that you'll know the difference, it's so refreshing while you're smoking Newport filter cigarettes. You'll be smoking cool, cool, all the time, when you come up to Kool! A silly millimeter longer: Chesterfield 101's. Be happy, go lucky: Lucky Strike! Us Tareyton smokers would rather fight than switch! The seven-minute cigarette, Pall Mall Gold 100's - it lasts longer. I'm sure there are 100's more I've forgotten, but I did stop smoking when I was 40! |

One of my favorites. The Brass Ring's "The Disadvantages of You" was brilliantly adapted by Benson & Hedges to promote the length of their cigarettes. It's the quintessential soundtrack of the mid '60s, with ads containing scenes of people smashing roughly 30mm worth of their 100's into everything imaginable.
Here's a collage of stills from Benson & Hedges ads with the full length version of "The Disadvantages of You" for all the children of the '60s -- enjoy!

As much as we all like these vintage catch phrases, I bet most if not all of us hate when yet another commercial interrupts a favorite TV program...
I remember once I had a Swiss housemate in college. He was, in general, a very annoying person. Everything was "better" in Switzerland. And he used to erupt in loud derisive laughter whenever a commercial would come on the TV. At the time I thought it was obnoxious, but he did have a point - especially since the Americans in the room would go into a kind of a trance during the commercial breaks, either letting their minds drift elsewhere or soaking in all the hidden persuaders... or both... It's even weirder when one considers that the National Socialists of 30's Germany were the ones who perfected such propaganda techniques, which were picked up by Madison Avenue after the war and put to vast commercial use. The infamous Anacin TV commercials of the 50's were a classic example: you know, the one with a hammer incessantly hitting an anvil, to portray headache pain. Then came on the strident announcer, pushing Anacin as the Final Solution for one's cerebral angst. Similarly, the Nazis would use strident radio and newspaper messages to grab the attention of a likely bone-tired populace. Of course the application of these techniques in modern America is not at all as evil as what the Nazis used the to effect, but the techniques have been well learned by commercial and political America and our society will never be quite the same. |

Stan, Clairol probably used this for all three of their lighteners. Lady Clairol Whipped Creme was the first coming out in about 1950, you had to actually whip it with an egg beater after adding the peroxide and boosters. Then came Lady Clairol Instant Whip Creme Hair Lightner in about 1957, this got thick just by mixing wth peroxide and shaking or stirring. Then in about 1960 Lady Clairol Ultra Blue Creme Hair Lightner hit the market with the "If I have but one life to live, let me live it as a blonde".
The other advertising slogan for Clairol Hair Lightners and Toners was, " The Lady Clairol blonde the silky shiny blonde, is it true blondes have more fun?" I was a Cosmetologist from 1970 t0 1985, thats why I have this info in my box of trivia. LOL Eddie |

Yes, believe it or not! I know that we were always instructed not to us anything metallic with peroxide, but, yes you used an egg beater in a glass or plastic bowl, not metal. I guess the brief contact with the metal beaters while beating the mixture had no ill effects. By the time I started in the business this was not used very often, though it was still available. Also, since both /whipped creme and Instant Whip were neutral they could be mixed with Miss Clairol Hair Color Bath for extra lift.
Also, before there were many commercial bleaches available they used to mix peroxide,ammonia and Lux Soap or Ivory Soap Flakes and whip it with an egg beater. And in cases were major lightening was required the peroxide and ammonia was mixed with White Henna, which was Magnesium Carbonate. This was the very earliest form of powder bleach. The White Henna mixture made a paste that held in the body heat on the scalp better than the soap flake foam did, thereby accelerating the bleaching process.

To be exact for the use with peoxide and soap flakes.
Later when Clariol came out with their professional lightners... The nice thing about these "on scalp" lightners, was that they were oil based, and lightning strength could be adjusted by using one to three boosters... Or no booster at all..just two parts peroxide to one part oil lightner. Since they were, or are engineered for "on scalp" the condition of the hair isn't bad, opposed to whats common now (duel purpose lightner) and generally a toner could be used after desired lightning stage was reached, with no problem. With sensitive skin..Clairol Born Blonde Toner was a option.. Or a Fanciful rinse to get by until the real toner could be used. (Usually the Following week) A nice Clairol toner was a mix of "Extra Light platinum" and "Ivory Chiffon" The reason for adding some lightner to a tint back then, was for a little extra lift.. Remember 20 vlm was the standard. It wasn't common for us to have a higher percentage. Don't think back then I even knew there was anything higher. LOL To get back on to the catch phrase..Dippity do Dippity for YOU! (Gillette Co) |

I'm impressed with your knowledge of haircoloring and lightening. This is what made me want to become a Cosmetologist when I was 13. I watched my Mom getting her hair lightened and the whole process intrigued me. This was my favorite part of being in that business. I have to ask, are you a hair stylist?
I still have my copy of Clairols "How to Do Better Haircoloring" the 1962 edition. That was my bible for haircoloring in my early days in the business. And I apologize for hijacking the thread. It's not often that I think about this part of my working life anymore. I did many different kinds of jobs throught my life and learned alot about all of them along the way.

"Anything you want, everything you need, you'll find it at Swallen's" (Cincinnati dept. store that closed in '94) Clairol Ultra Blue lightener was mentioned above. For some reason I decided I wanted my medium blond hair lighter for my senior picture, so that's what I used. It turned out very blond! |

I was involved in the CCA many years ago, and participated in the local hairstyling competitions ect. Have lost tract of the work of the NHC.
Like Eddie, I've been involved in different types of work, including managing a dry cleaning plant. Was also a cosmetology instructor, and a color specialist for a haircolor Co. Took auto shop in high school.. What a mix right! @ Eddie, guess that answers your question. LOL .. I have the same book, as well as the 1957 edition... Use to teach from them. You can email me if you want, and We'l chat. Trying not to hijack the thread..so " L'Oreal because you're worth it " |

I knew you had to have a similar backround! I didn't take Auto Shop, but when I was younger and poorer I used to do a lot of my own auto repairs. Haircolor was my first love in the beauty biz. I didn't mean to be cheeky in my reply to your post. I wasn't aware of your extensive backround in haircoloring. I'll email sometime soon and we can chat.
