"Pepsi Cola hits the spot, 12 full ounces, that's a lot."

"It's Shake-n-Bake, and ah helped!"

"Dr. Pepper, good at 10, 2, and 4".

"Coke has the taste you never get tired of".

 

[Coyote Blue]

Thanks,r1derbike!

"Please don't squeeze the Charmin."

"Winston tastes good,like a cigarette should."

 

[r1derbike]

Ah yes! Mr. Whiffle admonishing housewives to quit squeezing the Charmin, and when he takes the package away, he starts squeezing too!

I could go on and on about the different perfumes, makeup, hair products and more, all designed to get ladies' husbands all over them like red-on-pepper when they got off work, after she fixed a 3 course meal, and after the poor housewife was on the business end of a mop and vacuum cleaner all day.

I remember June Lockhart shown on camera (Lassie) as being pretty good on the business end of a mop and broom many episodes, and wearing an apron as well.

Back then, it was shown that it was a woman's lot to suffer. I wonder if that somehow didn't add to the ranks of men in wifebeater T-shirts, physically abusing their spouses as it showed them in a subordinate and subjugate light.

I remember one episode of Bewitched when Darren was upset with Samantha because she missed something on the carpet, and when she bent-over to pick it up, he gave her a spank on her bottom (that sounds like fun...kidding, of course). This type of behavior on film surely caused some spousal abuse, and even years ago, I recognized there was something very flawed about showing women as domestic slaves.

Today, I believe the modern woman would take a shotgun to those old reels of video tape the networks have stashed away in vaults.

Oops, I veered off topic. Sorry.
