Subject: RE: BS: ...after this commercial break
I wonder if whoever did the Red Rose tea commercial got the idea from watching the Nairobi Trio?

Oh my, "Shike 'n' Bike!" Another one dredged up from the dark recesses of memory!
Then of course you must remember "Tastykake cakes and PIES!" -- do you know, I can now buy Tastykakes in Hilo, Hawaii! Along with Breyer's real vanilla ice cream, with the little black specks of vanilla bean, without which no true Philadelphian would touch the stuff.
I still remember Bob Barker on Truth or Consequences saying, "Now here's a word and picture story about something very important to you," and then each time I would say, with great disappointment, "Oh, it was just a COMMERCIAL!"

But does anybody remember the shortest singing TV commercial?

Aloha,
Mark
