Ancient Chinese Secret, Eh?
A Chinese man working in a dry-cleaning store: not exactly the best attempt at thinking outside the cultural stereotypes box. (You gotta love the ‘70s.) Of course, if the commercial didn’t feature the Chinese dry cleaner, I’m not sure who’d reveal the ancient Chinese secret to all those white housewives picking up their husbands’ cleaning.
Ring Around the Collar
Were people’s necks extra grimy and sweaty in the ‘70s? I never understood all the fuss about ring around the collar. Thank goodness we don’t have to live with that anymore, or with these crazy, ringed-up shirts mouthing off from a suitcase, which apparently the woman is packing for her husband (whose hands are clearly broken).
Squirting Gum?
I used to love Freshen-Up gum, but I guess my dirty mind wasn’t developed enough back then to get the same immature chuckle I got today when I heard, “The gum that squirts refreshment all over your breath.”
