1971 Trident Gum commercial with McLean Stevenson

I always found it funny how Trident managed to twist this "4 of 5 dentist" survey into the appearance of a product endorsement by dentists. Kinda like saying "4 out of 5 pulmonologist surveyed recommend filtered, low tar, low nicotine cigarettes for their idiot patients who continue to put their health at risk by engaging in the dangerous behavior that is smoking." Sounds like quite the endorsement, huh?
