Serutan spelled backwards is...?

[alwynsw]

Who remembers this one? What TV show made it famous?

edited to add: If you don't remember this one, what's a famous ad line from your youth?

[Sporadicus]

1. Ted Mack's Original Amateur Hour

My favorite ads were those for Ipana toothpaste.



On edit: that's not so famous anymore, so how about this:

'I can't believe I ate the whole thing!' (Alka-Seltzer)

[ClintonTyree]

3. Bucky Beaver!!

Busha, brusha brusha, new Ipana toothpaste,,,,,,,,,,,

Egad, am I getting old!

[Hand]

12. Not as old as me...

"Brusha, brusha, brusha
Get the new Ipana
With the brand-new flavor...
It's dandy for your tee-eeth!"

I'll stick my other foot in the grave now and quit showing off...

:hi:

[BurtWorm]

16. "Round and round and round she goes and where she stops nobody knows."

"Take Sominex tonight...and sleep, sleep, sleep..."

"My wife. I think I'll keep her."

[ClintonTyree]

2. And Evian (the bottled water)...............

is N-A-I-V-E.....coincidence? I think, NOT!


I remember Serutan. I can't recall what TV show made it famous, I always thought it was just a commercial.

[Hokie]

4. Wasn't that for To Tell the Truth?

or was it I've got a Secret?

5. Santorum spelled backwards is...

mu-rotn-as

[Dr.Phool]

6. Try Santorum on spell check

It comes up Sanitarium!

[Bertha Venation]

7. Libby's jingle:

if it says Libby's Libby's Libby's
on the label label label
you will like it like it like it
on your table table table

[alwynsw]

8. Libby's libby's libby's

Unfortunately, I also remember, "You'll wonder where the yellow went whn you brush your teeth with Pepsodent."

[Bertha Venation]

9. Do you remember Gleem toothpaste?

I do... probably because it figures prominently in a version of "Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer" that I grew up with.

[alwynsw]

14. We used to use Gleem at our house

My grandmother never used toothpaste in her life. She always used powder. She was quite the novelty when she went into the hospital for CHF in '94. It seems that the nurse doing her history didn't believe her about her having her own teeth, so they had a dentist come by to check it out.

There she was, 91 years old, 32 teeth, no cavities.

I can still hear the start of the episode now. Nurse, (loudly) "How are you today, Mrs. Ashby?"

Granny, "Honey, I'm just old; not deaf."

I swear that woman could hear a mouse fart at 100 yds.

10. Plop plop, Fizz fizz

Oh what a relief it is!

[terrya]

11. "Let Hertz Put YOU in the Driver's Seat!"

The ad with the man being dropped into a moving convertible. Yes, I remember that ad from LONG ago. :-)

[HughBeaumont]

13. When MAD was a comic book, it parodied this line in Gasoline Alley.

They did a Gasoline Alley spoof and I never knew where the line "Stupid kid, everyone knows Skizziks spelled backwards is 'Natures'" came from. I now know. My life is complete.

This is what happens when you were born in 1969 and enjoy humor from comics made 16 years earlier.

[alwynsw]

15. If Skeezix was the kid in GA

(I usually screw up the names) he was, and to the best of my knowledge still is, the only newspaper comic charachter born in a strip that aged in real time over the years.

[HughBeaumont]

18. For Better or For Worse is in real time

As is Jump Start.

I remember the GA parody because of Will Elder's use of sight gags in his drawing. They don't make 'em like that guy anymore.

[alwynsw]

19. Yup. I forgot For Better...

Don't get Jump Start here.

[immoderate]

17. Iron Deficiency Anemia....

Apparently this dread disease was wiped out by Serutan. You don't hear much about it any more.

--IMM

On edit: "We call it tired blood."

[alwynsw]

20. I can remember it now

Do you have iron poor, tired blood? ...

21. Serutan Spelled Backwards is Mud

Jesus, the more I find out about American 60s culture, the more in-jokes I find there were in "Bored of the Rings". I had no idea Serutan was a real thing, let alone that a chapter title was a ripoff of a phrase.
