--seed BS: ...after this commercial break (111* d) RE: BS: ...after this commercial break 14 Sep 99


I remember it as

Bryl Creme, a little dab'll do ya,
Use more, only if ya dare;
But watch out! The gals'll all pursue ya,
They'll love to get their fingers in your hair.

And from the Tom Mix radio show, daily at about five p.m., the song for what's now called Wheat Chex:

Shredded Ralston in the morning
And you surely will agree
That this wake-up, cheer-up breakfast
Gives you lots of energy.
It's delicious and nutritious,
Bite-size and ready to eat--
Take a tip from Tom, go and tell your mom, Shredded Ralston can't be beat.

And what was the toothpaste that advertised its special ingredient, Irium:

Poor Miriam, sweet Miriam, she's not using Irium...

And one that always cracked me up but of which I can't remember a word--probably because it was sung by non-identical twins who were always a bit out of rhythm with each other--Anderson's Split Pea Soup: The cartoon twins would lead a tour of the pea soup factory, which had a huge machine with a blade like a gigantic axe which would cut peas in half, one at a time.

I think the most annoying commercials were Wisk (Uh, oh, ring around the collar--Wisk around the collar beats ring around the collar) and Bufferin: the cross section of a human body showing the B's passing through the stomach and making it into the bloodstream twice as fast as the A's, with a "doctor" standing beside the picture with a pointer, as if that stupid graphic needed a guide.
