At the time, Carter Products (a division of Carter-Wallace) marketed Arrid. Today, Church & Dwight [the "Arm & Hammer" people] manufacturers it. This ad was specifically aimed at teenagers who were often "where the action is" (which, incidentally, was also the title of Dick Clark's daily music showcase on ABC from 1965 through '67).
Was this from the original 1966 prime-time airing or a subsequent daytime repeat?

It was popular for girls to wear those hand bands around their hair in the mid 1960s. black and white more like 1965 than 1966.

Do you really need a suit and tie to go on a merry-go-round and a playground?
Only if it's directly after church, LOL!

This is definitely early 1966, one of the last two or three episodes they made. I remember seeing this episode on Nick-at-Nite.

Whatever commercials were featured on "The Donna Reed Show" from 1958-1966 would be so cool as well as it's original ABC airings. How cool is that?

@fromthesidelines Bristol-Myers also did ads for Ban deodorant aimed at the young, including the one with the rock 'n roll group:
"Oh, yeah...the Repulsives" "COOL IT, baby!"
