Back to B.C. by Johnny Hart for December 15, 2023

Back to some good clean fun…….

Hooked on Soap Operas

I once read about a detergent company (I don’t remember which one) that ran an advertising campaign in an Arabian country. The ad had two pictures – before and after. On the left was a picture of a dejected looking woman next to a pile of dirty laundry, and on the right was a picture of the same woman looking happy next to a stack of clean, folded clothes. They forgot one minor detail. Arabs read from right to left.

Reminds me of later ant-acid ads showing images of stomach bloating. Advertizing has advanced in “disgusting”.

Yeah because most detergents and softeners reek.Can’t walk down that aisle at the grocery without covering my nose. Unfortunately the Unscented are next to the stinky.

The one that got me laughing was the Tide commercial where they said, very seriously: Tide was tested on U S Government soil.

It true the world is Filthy, Filthy, Filthy and no detergent is going to clean up that mess!!

And this was in 1966. I wonder how many thousands of synthetic chemicals have been devised to assault our nasal passages since then.

I like some scents, but not all. It is perfume that gags me.
