Wordless Wednesday

Doesn’t this ad make you want to rush and buy Listerine?
She looks so happy to use the product.
“I hate it but I love it” There is a ringing endorsement!
Truth in advertising?

    She looks unhappy with the product.. lol! I don’t use this product because of the minty taste.

  • Karyn18:

    Amusingly and explainable bad for the good.

  • I love what you guys tend to be up too. This sort of clever work and exposure! Keep up the great works guys I’ve you guys to my personal blogroll.

  • Born27:

    A very vintage or we can call it retro Listerine. But I agree. I love it too. Especially in the morning.

  • I am certain my grandpa used that bottle of Listerine…no wait. Not “Polly’s” bottle. But that same flavour. I remember the smell now and it was pungent in the bottle. I had completely forgotten about that until now :)

    Also, there’s a cough syrup in Canada called Buckley’s Mixture. Their tag line is “It tastes awful but it works”. And they’re right. But it always worked better than the candy-flavoured Robitussin, so the older I got, the more it was worth it. It was also a test of fortitude :D

    • Bernie:

      My dad uses Listerine. I can’t stand the smell!
      Oh, I agree with you about cough syrup. My folks always gave us “Silence is Golden” nasty stuff, but it worked!

  • Yes, Listerine tastes bad…but I don’t think it even smells good, so does it give you slightly better breath than whatever stink you worked up o your own…Poor Polly!

  • Michele:

    She looks like a ’60s stewardess who is about ready to jump out the window of her next flight. lol

  • Thirty years ago I worked as a grocery store check-out clerk. Every week an elderly woman came in and purchased about a half dozen bottle of Listerine. That’s it. Her skin was yellow. I wonder if she thought, “It really tastes lousy.”

    To this day I identify Listerine with that elderly woman and her sad, sad alcohol addiction.

  • Wow, that’s extraordinarily bad. Also, she looks like a drunk clown and that scares me.

    • Bernie:

      Oh, I totally missed the drunk clown until you pointed it out. I was so stuck on the whole, “Ya, this sucks, but it works” aspect of the thing. *lol*
