Ok, that is a good excuse, whew, sounds like a lot for one day!!
I still sing the enjoli commercial sometimes, however, I had forgotten it was for enjoli....so I guess the marketing wasn't that great.

I had no idea they still sold the stuff, but apparently they do. Some of these commercials ran for 15-20 years and print ads run forever (ask me about the lion-hearted Chryslers for 1959

). The other big name was Prince Matchabelli. I remember the name but I couldn't for the life of me remember the perfume or the ad. It's a bit like the old Turk, I don't remember the name but the fez is familiar.

BTW, if you sang the jingle
how did you not use the name of the product, just curious.
Easy:
"ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM"
My good friend and I in Montreal would sing that l'il ditty constantly.
She would start and then it would get stuck...and then she would ask, "What commercial is that for anyways?"
And we'd wrack (sp?) our brains and didn't remember.
Well I didn't even have a TV!
Fast forward to last week:
the commercial came on TV!
Only they have upgraded the car. It's for Mazda.
As for the Enjoli and Prince Matchabeli, I refuse to watch the ad because it will get stuck.
As it is I recalled the melody for the word Enjoli....don't ask me what the product was.

WEATHER NEWSFLASH:
Weird!
As usual.
Temperature is going from around 33F (or less as it was last night) to 59F with thunderstorms, floods, hail the size of golf balls, and tornadoes in what is called the "Midwest".
Crazy!
