1970s Calgon "Ancient Chinese Secret" Commercial

Man wifey keeps blowing up his spot. That's why she plays the back. Not good for business. Plus those ribbons tied to her hair and the jacket. What can be said. She's a hot mess.

Hmmmmm....I'm not so sure it's non-PC. After all, if someone said "Ancient French" or "Ancient German" secret, I doubt anyone would bre offended.

I'm concerned that the Chinese laundry is going to get mighty messy when the washer spins since the lid has been removed and where's the lint trap?

[JakeandElwoodBlues]

Jackie Chan?

[BrinsonMHarris]

@JakeandElwoodBlues Nope, his name is Calvin Jung. He was in Robocop and a pretty well done martial arts flick with Scott Glenn and Toshiro Mifune called "The Challenge."

My God, I remember this commercial like it was yesterday. Was ubiquitous like the Charmin man. Time is really flying. Most people over 40 know what you're talking about when you use the term 'ancient Chinese secret'. Funny.

I want some reparations. This is some racist shit.

[CuntBubbly]

@doungchak No sonny, it is just an advert made in a time before people were hyper sensitive.

For some REAL "racist shit" look at how he Great Bruce Lee was treated...

...by the Chinese of Hong Kong for having one white grandparent!

(Sifu Yip Man could not openly teach him Wing Chun!)

I think the Chinese couple are super cute. 

[GothicxGirlxKatie]

where have i heard that "Ancient Chinese Secret, Huh??" before...it was on a show or something....

[KokoPuffs52]

@GothicxGirlxKatie It was on this commercial first...lots of people have used it as a reference to this old commercial.

[DirectorACL]

@GothicxGirlxKatie Tom Servo said to Joel on MST3K Episode 307 the saga of the viking women.
