For some reason, I have never forgotten this commercial over 30 years later. Combination of that catchy jingle and the charm of that lady ! Talk about good marketing !!!

I don't think that singing voice is hers.

HAHAHA I SO REMEBER THIS ONE,, COOL, IT'S FUNNY HOW THE MEDIA BECAME WISE TO BEGIN USING MORE ATTRACTIVE WOMAN IN TIGHT JEANS, INSTEAD OF OLD LARGE MARGE,

[AIKevorkian]

Where do all of you get these ancient vivid memories I haven't seen in 1,000,000 years!?? This is just so cool. I was about 9 during this one!

[MattTheSaiyan]

Thank you, Ajax, for all the classic commercials you gave us.

I use AJAX (dishwashing liquid) for my hair, it was one of those in-a-pinch things, and NOW I am hooked. Of course, in a year we'll see if I still have any hair, but...

[ukendcx2000]

didn't know ajax had dishwashing liquid back then.

This is one of my most FAVORITE commercials from my childhood!

[bongomanfromdalou]

At one time, Ajax had five or six different cleaning products under its "house of Ajax" umbrella; the original cleanser, then the "white tornado" liquid cleaner, a powdered floor and wall cleaner, laundry detergent, and window cleaner. (They tested a spray cleaner--like Fantastik--which bombed around 1967, too.) Ajax was into brand extensions before brand extensions became cool. Sad that Colgate makes only Ajax cleanser and dish soap nowadays...the laundry detergent was sold to another company.

Weren't there two versions of this commercial-the short version(this one) which was played often, and the long version? If anyone has the long version of this commercial, I'd LOVE to see it please.

cell phones were Ginormous back then too!

[WookieCookie]

Any chance this could be Tyne Daly from Cagney & Lacey? Kinda looks like her and to some extent sounds like her, especially when she says "Sure".

[WellConditioned]

No shot - this woman's tiny. Tyne has always been a heifer.

[pincerpal]

No microwave, cellphone, internet, fax machine...Better life in the 70's

[PeerlessPaavo]

They still wrote commercial jingles back then too.

[sparkles13]

Alice Cooper, unprotected sex, Zepplin concerts, unretributed fights with the PE coach, Seseme Street Fever the album....I could go on.

They had microwaves in the 70's. My parents had a Sharp microwave that they bought in 1977 and it stopped working in 2004. There were cell phones also. Only wealthy people and Doctors had them.
