Subject: Ancient chinese secret
Written By: godzilla on 04/28/04 at 12:05 pm
Hello everyone!
I'm trying to track down a video clip of a commercial from the 70's (maybe 80's).
The commercial was Calgon Laundry detergent and used the slogan "ancient Chinese secret"
Here's the scenario:
A Guy walks in to pick up his laundry, asks how they get the shirts so white, Asian man behind the counter says "Ancient Chinese secret" He leaves, the wife leans out the door and holds up a box of Calgon Laundry detergent and says "ancient Chinese secret huh?"
I use this phrase all the time and people have no idea what I'm talking about...which actually makes it a little funnier sometimes. :D
Anyway, does anyone know where I could find a MPG/AVI video of this clip? It's probably impossible :-\ but I thought I would ask anyway.
Thank you easter bunny, bulk-bulk!

Did anyone ever see the SNL skit with Jackie Chan?
The commercial goes exactly the same as normal until the "Ancient Chinese Secret?!?" line. Jackie jumps up and slams the guy into a wall and screams, "If you tell anyone, I'll kill you."
It is hilarious.
