Someone mentioned the old Comet jingle...Comet, it makes your teeth turn green, etc. Does anyone know of a link to that ad or if it is posted on you tube? Thanks in advance for your help!
Several famous people made their earliest TV appearances in Comet ads with Ms. Withers, including Louise Lasser (Mary Hartman) and Robby Benson. Is Jane still with us? I remember seeing her in an episode of "The Munsters" playing Herman's doctor's wife, and then seeing one of her "Josephine the Plumber" commercials five minutes later in the same episode.
I remember one commercial for Comet where Josephine was using a stainless steel sink instead of a porcelain one, and she said, "Stainless doesn't look after itself. You have to keep it nice".
We've got stainless steel sinks on the railway in our galleys. I only clean half of it (but we use anti-bacterial wipes), and I've told some of the younger kids (I'm 54) that it looks like an ad for Comet. They look at me with a puzzled look and ask, "An ad for what??" I feel so old. lol.
Funfact: This woman played Joy in the movie Bright Eyes starring Shirley Temple when she was 8 =-D

I think she must be related to the Progressive Insurance Girl. Is over-enthusiasm genetic? :)

A children's song about Comet is sung to the tune of the Colonel Bogey March. Not surprisingly, it rhymes "Comet" with "vomit."

I remember looking at a can of Comet when I was little because I wondered what it was about it that made this lady SO happy.
