1971 FAB commercial

As the kid in front with the geeky glasses and green shirt, I can tell you that yes, all the kids are now in their late 40's and 50's. Hugo damaged the family home, but everyone survived. Too funny to see this on you tube, didn't know it even existed outside of my own collection... :)

My mother also got this and I liked it. I just loved that lemony smell.

@nanlisa I always wondered why I started smelling lemons in the kitchen when I was 6, that was some intense odor. The lemon scented Borax rings a bell.

Those kids today must be in their 40's or 50's.

Did any of theem survive Hurricane Hugo 18 years later?

I think this ad is 1973-1974, not 1971.

can't beat "lemon fresh n borax"

[DanMan869]

Actually, it's "lemon freshened" borax. It does sound like 'lemon fresh N borax,' though, doesn't it? :-)

[snarkdetriomphe]

hahahaa thanks, dan - i remember singing the jingle as a kid... guess it stuck! :)

[PeerlessPaavo]

You suppose the oldest Carroll boy caught hell in the high school halls for this?

[MidnightNSavannah]
