Truth in Advertising

Madison Avenue may have taken a wrong turn somewhere. Before most of us were old enough to shave, we knew that:

To look sharp every time you shave.
To feel sharp, and be on the ball.
Just be sharp; use Gillette Blue Blades
For the smoothest, cleanest shave of all.
"
Gillette Blue Blades

Why, I bet that some of us could remember most of that message today, even though we haven't heard it in half a century. (At ease! Smoke 'em if you have 'em. LSMFT or Call for Phillip Morris, Johnny?)
