(Since the product is a powder, you have to whip it up).Churchy LaFemme:https://www.blogger.com/profile/01918039034800664237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8854624738223119407.post-73407776333012226312017-07-01T20:32:13.283-04:002017-07-01T20:32:13.283-04:00Jeffm: Thanks very much for your comment.

I seem to remember seeing them on the old, original version of "Match Game," though I would guess that they also ran with other shows. There seemed to be so many versions of this ad that I'm surprised that not one of them has shown up on YouTube.Mark Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07463881222804863326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8854624738223119407.post-63510144848105456442017-07-01T18:36:55.949-04:002017-07-01T18:36:55.949-04:00I remember the "Cream Pie Ladies" commer...I remember the "Cream Pie Ladies" commercial too! General Foods (Jell-O products) sponsored a lot of TV shows then; in particular Andy Griffith and Gomer Pyle, and I'm pretty sure the commercial ran on all of them. I hope someone finds an old 16mm print somewhere and uploads it to You Tube,<br />Another commercial I remember with a twist on a pop tune was for Pepsodent toothpaste; they took The American Breed's "Bend Me, Shape Me" and turned it into "Bright teeth, white teeth, really outa-sight teeth..."<br />I remember the "often confused" twins too. I want to say it was a long-gone product called Dermassage, but am not sure.jeffm12012https://www.blogger.com/profile/17430827566250598471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8854624738223119407.post-20773328287766858752016-12-31T13:44:09.049-05:002016-12-31T13:44:09.049-05:00Gary and Matt: Thanks for your comments.

(I'm a couple of years older than you are, Matt.) If you ever find the ad, please send me the link. I worked at an agency for three years, and I'm sure my ex-bosses would love to see it.<br /><br />And thanks for visiting the blog. I hope you'll stop by again.Mark Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07463881222804863326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8854624738223119407.post-23281729035502060202016-12-31T09:43:54.974-05:002016-12-31T09:43:54.974-05:00Me too!

I just thought it was a catchy tune, like you. I had not heard the song for years but I remember it although I did not remember ALL the lyrics. Imagine my RECENT surprise when I figured out that it was about prostitutes... and I remember the very short-lived commercial, which now has me shaking my head with disbelief. The only reason that I found your blog post is because I was actually looking for some record of that commercial. For the record my current age is 60 so figure me for about 13 at the time.

It had to have been around for a few weeks at least, because I have the lyrics embossed into my memory cells: "think of what you're givin'", " your family's really livin'", "'cause they're tired of vanilla every day".
