Ajax Stronger Than Dirt #1

1960s commercial for Ajax Laundry Detergent (with Ultramarine Plus, whatever THAT is). I have no idea what a knight on horseback riding around with a magic cleaning lance has to do with detergent, but there you are...
Thanks for mikey50077 for pointing this out: That's Alice Nunn, (much) later from "Pee Wee's Big Adventure", plugging the detergent. So if you buy Ajax today, you can tell 'em Large Marge sent you.

Why does a laundry detergent commercial from the 60's have nearly 35,000 views like the 60's had the Beatles and the civil rights movement and yet 35,000 people chose to enrich their lives with a freaking laundry detergent commercial

[3zy]

Well, let's be realistic here. It's 35,000 views over the course of 7 years. The top result for "I have a dream", on the other hand, hit 2.7 million views in 2. You want to talk weird priorities, look at the hit count for Rebecca Black...

do they still make ajax?

[3zy]

I think so, but Colgate-Palmolive sold the brand to another company a few years ago (at least in North America).

Thumbs up if the Doors brought you here!

LOL...Yeah. At the end of "Touch Me" STRONGER THAN DIRT.

Something tells me that Draper didn't work on this one.

Everyone DOES know that this slogan "Stronger than dirt" is at the very end of The Doors song "Touch Me", right? Listen and be amazed. Wikipedia the song and read why it is there....

I find it amusing that they depict Ajax - a hero from the Trojan war, as a knight with a jousting lance.

Phoenix Brands. Ajax and all the other Colgate-Palmolive brands Phoenix took over aren't worth buying anymore.

Touch Me from The Doors brought me here :)

Jim Morrison brought me here :)
