A Soft Drink That Can Save a Marriage - Huh?
Another slow, surreal commercial from the seventies. You've got to wonder what was in the pipe of the director. Nowadays, commercials are 15-30 seconds long. This Tab commercial is like Gone With the Wind by comparison. You just know that the husband was off at a key party while his wife was slimming by pill popping and drinking Tab while she distracted herself by combing the hair of her nature child. "Be a mind sticker," has to be the worst slogan ever. Eesh!

OMG! What a terrible commercial! Yet highly funny! Be a mind sticker!LOL
ReplyDeleteYou always find the best commercials! Thank you!
What an awful commercial! The singing of "Don't you want to have a good shape? He wants you to have a good shape." How superficial! And what a load of crap to load onto that generation of females -- my generation actually! I'm so glad that today we are TRYING to focus on health and not looks!
ReplyDeleteBe a mind sticker? OMG - it's a little too ice pick to the temple for me. Although maybe thats the idea - keep me in your mind or you'll get a real mind sicker you dog.

But the best one of all was about 1980 with the shapely brunette walking out of the surf in a red bikini...even my son, who was 4 years old at the time, would stop and watch that one....along with his dad! Now that was sexist, even then!
