Aight, Ima doin' this one for fun. If you're a true blue Baby Boomer, watched Howdy Doody, Captain Kangaroo, and Jonny Quest, some of these commercial slogans flitted across your black and white screen, and were forever seared into your impressionable little minds. Name the product the slogan is associated with. More than one answer is okay.
-1. "You'll wonder where the yellow went, when you brush your teeth with _________."
-2. "Plop, plop, fizz, fizz, oh, what a relief it is."
-3. "A little dab'll do ya."
-4. "It’s more than a camera, it’s almost alive, it’s only 19 dollars and 95."
-5. "It’s mountain grown — the richest kind of coffee."
-6. "I'd rather fight than switch."
-7. "You can trust your car to the man that wears the star!"
-8. "Does she or doesn’t she? Only her hairdresser knows for sure."
-9. "Double your pleasure….. double your fun..."
-10. "Ring around the collar!"
-11. "If you've got the time, we've got the beer."
-12. "My wife.. I think I'll keep her."
-13. "Put a tiger in your tank."
-14. "It's not nice to fool Mother Nature."
-15. "If he kissed you once..will he kiss you again?"
-16. "The quality goes in before the name goes on."
-17. "You deserve a break today, so get out and get away to ________."
-18. "Come alive, you're in the ______ generation."
-19. "I'm weird..but I make a great peanut butter sandwich."
-20. "The proud bird with the golden tail"
Alea iacta est.

14. Blue Bonnet Margarine And you also remember the National Anthem being played as TV signed off for the night. I had forgotten about that. When did 24/7 TV begin?
Wouldn't that jar your mustard!

Jema, it depends on the station, but between 1991-1993 was when major networks started experimenting with it. BTW, you have the right product, but the wrong name. The one I'm thinking of was discontinued years ago. Try again!  All other answers are correct!
