@ 1:38 - what a fake sneeze!

where did you get all these old ads? they're awesome :P

[mlaura40s]

I miss the classic contac cold commercials.

[HurdyGurdyChallenge]

Oh my gosh, is this ever the coolest vid. What a treasure trove of pain relievers and decongestants, and relievers of bronchial spasms! Do you have some for irregularity or monthly bloating? No matter, this is now my ULTIMATE #1 TRUE JAM!

The face on the guy at 1:15-hilarious!! These ads are so funny, the delivery and the types of people chosen for the ads simply are not ever used in today's style of commercial. People with faces hard to forget were used more often then, and now, mostly pretty and young, which is so boring. :/

Colds is the body's way of getting rid of toxins in the body

Keep chemicals out and never catch a cold.

speed up the kidneys and the liver and the sinuses don't run.

I use a natural anti histamine works better than drugs plus you can't get a soar throat using it.

Not a chemical so it won't even give you cancer when you get older.

Child cold medications almost blinded my 5 year old. Her sight is cured today at age 22 used herbs to heal her from thick eye glasses

Yes! Drugs, drugs, drugs! Better living through chemicals!

Great collection of classic commercials.Too bad the commercials today are too crappy.Like the Vanquish V sign @ the end,Peace!

[SmakkWitt]

Why is it that old commercials remind me of my childhood more than old TV shows and/or music do? heh

(hope you're feeling better by now, Wook)

[Bertonator]

AHHHHHH-CHOO!!!

[heine71]

The Vanquish V sign at the end is exciting!

What commercial is the "Feel cough drops in my throat but in my nose" line? I guess it's Halls.

Get well, Wookie Cookie.

[WookieCookie]

That particular ad is for Victors Cough Drops and stars non other than Charlotte Rae.

[heine71]

OOPS! Sorry for the confusion, but Wookie: Do you have any early 1970's Halls TV commercials to upload to YouTube?

[WookieCookie]

Post just now... tLZbUchf7II

[PeerlessPaavo]

Hope whatever remedy you took got you feeling better, Wookie.

0:38 -- Jack Klugman mixes us a Bromo as if he were making a pitcher of martinis

1:42 "Oh no! I hope Susie doesn't catch my cold!" (Actually, I hope Mom doesn't continue cooking without washing her sneezy hands.)

[heine71]

What commercial was "I hope Susie doesn't catch my cold" for?

[WookieCookie]

It was for a product called Dristan Nasal Mist... little white bottle that you use to squirt the medicine up your nose... I remember by dad had one of these in practially every room of the house for easy access... I used to kid him about being a Dristan junkie.

[heine71]

I see...
