The inspiration for this "Twip" ad was an actual commercial for Austex Beef Stew in the '50s- even borrowing the phrases "hearty, husky chow", "keep your men goin' strong", and "That's MY brand!" from the Austex ad...
thank you so much for the information. i loved these commercial spots and wondered if it actually existed and when they said available only in TV land, i wondered if it was made up or an actual product no longer produced. i wish i could find the one where the guy visited his girlfriend. he used twip mouth spray and she was vacuuming in a sexy jumpsuit and freshening her house with twip air freshner.
"Twip" was an "all-purpose" product that was "available only in TV Land"; it could be a detergent, a breakfast food, a bubble bath....for whatever period and genre 'TV LAND' parodied commercials. Here, it's a sly satire of the kind of spots Roy Rogers and his family did for his sponsor General Foods [Post, Jell-O, etc.] at the end of his programs in the '50s...

I have the Twip Mouth Spray commerical and the NBC Peacock (Turkey) promo. That was really funny. I'll try finding it and post on YouTube.
