That Mr. Clean jingle regularly goes through my mind, after decades.

[@gcfifthgear]

And they still use it even now for Magic Erasers and Clean Freak (if only the last three notes)

[@jamessullivan1714]

Wow. I know I would have watched this show if it had been on when I was younger.

Lovely soap actress Dorothy Stinnette in commercial! 💖

[@tomservo56954]

I wonder if the actress playing Diane went on to portray a homewrecker in another show...

[@skipeastport5529]

Nope. But before she was on Brighter Day she did play scheming Alice Holden on The Guiding Light. Alice tried to get back at rival Robin Lang who was trying to get Mike Bauer away from Alice. Alice rigged a chair to fall apart and injure Robin, but Alice’s sister in law Kathy stood on it instead and fell. The fall caused Kathy to miscarry and become paralyzed.

@@skipeastport5529 Wasn''t it Sandy Dennis who played Alice?

Patty Duke played on this soap before she starred on Broadway in THE MIRACLE WORKER.

As for the Gleem toothpaste commercials, with the way people smoked in those days, the smell of tobacco probably covered the bad breath.

2nd hand smoke, up until the 80s At least kids were allowed to be outside all day It's like, when we stop smoking, kids stayed inside, eating too much and not getting enough sun😣

7:30 Wow..it could have been a reason, people got false teeth up until recently Now, sugarless gum could do the trick

When was this soap on what time d.w.

How I wish we could go back to the days of typewriters...computers have stripped us of our privacy .

There's no mystery in life anymore.

[@tomjanowski8584]

Those commercials were so long.....or maybe they just seemed so long.

[@kennixox262]

Because those soap operas had only a few sponsors and more commercial time to peddle their wares. I do believe at some point the FCC mandated a maximum time limit for commercials in the later half of the 1960's.
