  • i remember the rose-shaped washing sponge on a stick it came with.

  • What the 'hel' is Vel?

  • This is what awesome wishes it could be.

  • ooh i NEED that stuff

  • take it from Merm!

  • Colgate-Palmolive needed Ethel's personality {and pipes} to push Vel towards consumers, as it really wasn't selling that well in grocery stores at the time. They literally paid through the nose for her and the rights to the song...in the end, however, Colgate discontinued manufacturing Vel by the late '70s.

  • They still manufacture and sell Vel in European countries

  • must... get... Vel...

  • I remember this well...gotta get me some Vel...

  • thank you so much for posting this

  • What a pip! Bless her.

  • Omg, lmao! Love it!

  • Oh my!

  • Any chance of getting Ethel's commercial for Canada Dry Ginger Ale? Early '70's.

  • Think Sondheim wrote the alternate lyrics?

  • I'd guess around 1966.

  • Actually this is from 1974ish because of her hairdo....In 66 she had a flip.

  • Anyone know what year this was?
