Subject: List some bad commercials from the '70s

There were so many. I remember Pearl Drops Tooth Polish. Had this sexy, throaty voiced platinum blonde stating the name and running her pink tongue across her pearly whites. Today it would have a parental advisory warning if aired.

The Platex Living Bras one with Jane Russell wearing one over a black sweater cracks me up-today Victoria's Secret has them practically starkers!

Freshen-Up Gum's follow up ad to "He didn't know the gum was loaded" jingle advertised "They upped the fresh in Freshen-Up, they upped the fresh!" It featured 3 kids in soccer uniforms, one of whom had a stick of the stuff "magically" balanced on his thumb. "Faaar-up!", was his one line. The kid in question was me, and I'd love to know if anyone has audio/video of this, so I can show my sons what a goofball Dad was in the late 70's early 80's. I believe the commercial aired in '79-80. Can you help? Does anyone even remember this one? Thanks!

I remember a horrible commercial for a hair product (?) called "Unicure" which began with "The Story of Unicure" and was very, very horrible.
