Subject: RE: BS: 'IT CAME FROM INSIDE THE CEREAL BOX'!
I remember my parents making us watch the thrice-damned Porter Wagoner show every pissant weekend. I hated it but we only had one TV (and only 2 channels then anyway).On that show, they always had Porter and Dolly advertising Breeze detergent. They used to offer these cheesy floral print hand towels as "freebees" with the soap. I'm not sure, but I think the towels were actually inside the boxes; that's sure the impression they gave anyway. And they held up these little 5 lb. boxes to the camera, smilingly. I remember thinking, "Jeez, there wouldn't be getting much friggin' soap with the sonofabitchin towel in there, now, wouldja?"
