Methinks that Ajax may be laced with cocaine - the little elf says "And it smells good too!" Would certainly explain why they suddenly had this compulsion to . . . CLEAN EVERYTHING IN THE ENTIRE HOUSE!?
Thank you! Thank you! I've been wanting to find this old commercial for a long time. I vaguely remembered the jingle and something about foaming bubbles down the drain. Now I"ve found it! As a kid (in the '50s) I always enjoyed these cartoon commercials.
James "Shamus" Culhane's animation unit produced this for Colgate-Palmolive-Peet in 1950 (and usually seen on "THE COLGATE COMEDY HOUR"). He later used examples from this ad in a book on animation...
mmmm and it smells good too... soooo huuufff Ajax!

Ajax is extremely versatile. It also lets you update part of a web page without having to reload the whole page. Let's see Mr. Clean do that!

Because there rarely is talent like this now.

Paul Frees! He's the voice of the fat elf. June Foray is the young elf.
I'd know their voices anywhere.
