Thread Name: BS: Cigarettes, what brands?
Subject: RE: BS: Cigarettes, what brands?
I found a pack of Lucky Strike Greens while helping remove old dasks at my university...Remember the slogan.."Lucky Strike Greens have gone to war"?
There was a radio quiz show sponsored by Camel cigarettes, hosted by Bob Hawk, where winning contestans were called "Lemacs"...they had their own little singing jingle.
" You're a Lemac now, yes, a Lemac now, There $700 dollars, Filled up for next weeks scholars, Bob Hawk will pay you when he hollers YES!, You're a Lemac now."
they also listed each week the number of cartons of cigs they had sent to "our service men overseas"
-------------------------------------------------- singing commercial for Pall Mall (pronounced Pell Mell)...to tune of "Sweet Betsy from Pike"
"I'll tell you a story you'll never forget, A story about you and your cigarette. Enjoy smoother smoking, choose wisely, choose well.. Relax and enjoy yourself, light a Pall Mall.
Pall Mall, Pall Mall, Smoke longer and finer and milder Pall Mall.
