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?

[struntitbby]

[KylenneLupo]

lol, FOUR decilious flavors. now days there ain't even half of the trizillion flavors that tastes that good

[joebeckham]

that "4 out of 5, recommend trident sugarless gum for their patients that chew gum" is confusing sounding. what about the people who've never had gum and want to try some, they cant have trident?
