Yes, I remember that old slogan about things going better with Coke.

Another old joke, based on another old Coke slogan:

Q. What did the elephant say when it sat on a Coke bottle?
A. Zing! What a feeling!

Well I don't remember that one. It must be older than "Things go better with Coke".

But you know we are "dating" ourselves acknowledging that we do remember those things anyway.

You know, I THINK I just "heard" that things go better with Coke. Yea, that's the ticket, I just heard they did. [;)] [}:)] [:D]

Carl - go stand in the corner with Dan! [:(]

Oh doin't worrry, you could fit 6 of myselfs on one couch for 2 peopl!
And here I though I was the only one sending people to the corner. [:p]

So "why" is Dan in the corner? What did I miss?

You know, I am not sure if Kev's couch is in the corner OR the doghouse. Could be either, depending on IF he sent the rat pic to ME. If he did, he might be there a while. But anyway, most couchs can seat at least 3 or 4 people (depending on how skinny they are). So I am sure Kev has room on the couch for some company.

Yes, "Zing" was probably the slogan just before "Things go better". I can't remember where "Coke Adds Life" fit in, but they finally hit pay dirt with "It's the Real Thing!".
The radio jingle that included "Zing! What a feeling!" also mentioned "King-Size(d)" bottles, which were 12 ounces, in the day when a standard Coke was 6.5 oz. They had increased to 10 ounces and 16 ounces by the time I was in high school.
Dating myself? So be it...I was at least 10 when all of this took place.

Yesterday I went to the car wash. It's just a little car wash at the gas station, big enough for one car, and it's the kind where they give you a code to enter on the keypad for the car wash. There was a longish line for the car wash so after some waiting, I got to the front of the line and punched in the code. This is what the machine said:

Wash In Use

Please Wait
or Deposit More Money
for More Options

Does this mean that if I pay more, I have an option other than waiting for the car already in the car wa***o finish?? Maybe it ejects the car in front of me immediately and lets me go in?

"The way to achieve inner peace is to finish all
the things you've started."

So I looked around the house to see all the
things I started and hadn't finished... and before
going to work this morning, I finished off a
bottle of Black Label Scotch, four Bud's, two bags of
Frito's, a bowl of Christmas chocolates, and a half
bottle of Valium.

You have no idea how relaxed and calm I feel.

You may pass this on to those you feel are in
need of Inner Peace

One of my all time favorite commercials was/is for ShakenBake. [8D] I still remember one of their very first commercials. (Needless to say, it was not in color--oh that hurt.) The little girl was telling her daddy, "It's ShakenBake daddyyyyyy and I helpeddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd."


I will never forget her drawl. (Of course I don't have one.) [;)] btw The swamp land in Arizona has once again been reduced to only $2,497.50 an acre. I think it is getting to be a real steal. I will gladly subdivide into 2 acre plots. Meanwhile back at the ranch. This commercial stands out in my memory glazzed there forever. It was just toooo funny then and to me now.


Another commercial, hopefully shown here in Arkansas only, was for Buick. They had some kind of sweepstakes and a lady from our state won. This was a commercial during a golf tournament on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. It was on about 3 or 4 years ago. But the lady said, "And I won a brand new Buickkkk ccccccccccccccccccccccccc--dannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn." When I heard her drawl I said, "Please God, don't let that commercial be seen anywhere but Arkansas." It was terrible. Oh well, what can you say. [;)]

It is a little early for the Sunday edition of the Humor Thread Paper, but I am going to press anyway. I must go to bed early or I can't get up for church AND I AM GOING TO CHURCH. [:)]


Remember the church around the corner I told you all about some time back? Well here are a few "signs" they have had up recently. I always enjoy their signs. [;)]


Searching for a New Look . . . . .
Try a Faith Lift.


The Best Vitamin for a Christian is . . . . . .

Try Our Sundays . . . . .

Now remember too that Kevin said he rearranges signs. [:(] Wonder what he can do with these? [}:)]

[edblysard]

Joe,
My wife Aimee use to work for Texaco, in their production company.
Jim, I remember the Shake and Bake comerical also, the little girl had such a southern accent it hurt.
You would have though her daddy and her baked a possum...with sweet taters on the side, and grits on the back burner.

But Ed, do you remember when it was Esso that wanted you to put the tiger in your tank?

(I remember the Mad Madazine parody of those ads...grinning tiger, saying "I put a gas station attendant in MY tank!")

[edblysard]

Yup Carl,
I can remember that, and even remember when the gas stations filled your tank for you.
If you did ask for a fill up, they often gave you a "gift".
Most likely a real cheap water glass or coffee mug, or a free road map.
Stay Frosty,

[?] How many of us out there remember when a gallon of regular[?] gas was anywhere
from 23.9 to 29.9 cents a gallon[?] (and don't anbody ask what REGULAR gas was,it did exist then)

Gas stations actually put gas in your car,wiped the windshield,checked the oil,put air in
the tires if needed[?] YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING [:O] [swg] Now I remember, that's where all
those Apollo glasses and decanter came from[:-^]

Anybody remember which chain of gas stations had the dinosaur on the signs[?]

hint,Fred Flintstone had one as a pet

"It's not nice to fool Mother Nature" was Parkay margarine.

I think the cheapest gas I ever saw was in Concordia, Kansas, on Highway 81 in town for 9 cents a gallon! I could be wrong,---but of course, you all know my age and so maybe you could look up the info in an olddddddddddddddddddddddd newspaper!!!LOL I worked for Standard Oil and I had to wash all the customers windshields and windows instead and out---about 1939. I had to also sweep out the front seats floors as well as all of the other "good" service items you mentioned!!
