Kept me looking for the next one ~ even if I didn't understand it when it came to the end one. Oh, and I liked the Vicks ones ~ we used Vicks for every ailment!

Women in the 1800s were concerned about their figures, products promised to make cleaning easier or more effective, etc. etc. Stephanie Grace Whitsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02442621477644235666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-33074574705275324412014-10-24T10:35:07.923-04:002014-10-24T10:35:07.923-04:00Hi Vickie, I think they were called bill posters. ...Hi Vickie, I think they were called bill posters. I don't like the sonic ads, either. I can't imagine that "dumb" sells. <br /> <br />I still call tissues Kleenex. I also know someone who calls her vacuum the Hoover, no matter what the brand. Funny how some brand names work their way into the language.<br /><br />Have a great weekend!

I have always called tissues for the nose Kleenexes, no matter what brand I buy. It's what I grew up calling it. And you've already list my least favorite ad. Oh, and I don't like the Sonic ads with the two guys in them. They're just dumb. My favorite ads are usually the funny ones, and I like the Valspar ones with the chameleons that change color--because I love colors.Vickie McDonoughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09698966142886006577noreply@blogger.com
