[[So so many memorable characters and slogans that you all can recall. Some pretty dumb like the Ajax white knight or Mr. Clean. Others folksy and almost primitive like Geritol.
Anacin, Exedrin, Brylcream, Maxwell House coffee..whether you used the products or not, you knew of them.]]

Exactly- today’s commercials though are totally forgettable- large grossly overweight women, usually black- prancing around in underwear, shaking all over like they have a psychotic nervous condition or something-

Another tend im seeing is businesses hiring the ugliest people they can find- intentionally- perhaps thinking that it will make their product more remembered- it does not- i turn the channel till the commercial is over-

Not exactly a commercial, but proves your above point.
