i smoked Lucky's for years and only switched to Pall Mall when taxes went up cause for the same price i got almost another half a smoke...They’re a few seasons behind, don’cha think?
Well, Bully for Lucky Strike. I remember the small 4 packs in the boxes of C-rations when I was in the Army.
I never smoked them, but they were good for trading to the smokers for their cans of fruit cocktail.
When I was a kid, my mama only let me smoke Lucky Strike.

Luckily, I went cold turkey and gave them up long ago; and then buried five in my close smoking family ... all of them at age seventy.

MM’s viewership is around 3-4 million, IIRC.
They may take credit for some of the increase in purchases, but I doubt they have any significant influence.
I have noticed more young people are smoking. Surprising, since we were fed the BS that the great tobacco settlement of the mid 1990’s would end smoking. [/s]
Also, MM tends toward an older demographic.
whaaaaa .. f'emWhen I began “The Habit”... oh about 20 years ago, I started out buying Luckies... and it has been my brand since. Friends looking for a treat will come to me to bum one... which is OK because they appreciate it. Whereas the everyday slob on the street asking for a smoke will refuse an unfilter3d smoke.
L.S./M.F.T. (see tagline... Bwahahah!)
Luckies were in a green pack before the war and because of the war effort the green die was needed for everything else so they started using red die and never went back following the conclusion of the global ass whooping contest against the axis powers.
I read years ago that the word “lucky” could not be mentioned on the I Love Lucy show because their sponsor was a different cigarette company and they didn’t want people to think of Lucky Strikes. No idea if it’s true or not, but whenever I watch Lucy I find myself listening for the word “lucky,” and I haven’t heard it so far.
