  • double money back guarantee wow and this was after the great depression

  • 0:08 hell yeah :D

  • In the old times, you could just give the box back and get the double of money back, what you paid...

  • I am a bit confused, she's washing dishes with it but the pack has a picture of a frock on it?? is it for washing dishes or is it for clothes????? Maybe it's dual purpose?

  • I'm on a horse.

  • This is a very good commercial - from an advertisers perspective.

    Soaps and detergents were once marketed for both laundry and washing dishes. Dishwashing liquids for hand dishwashing didn't come out until the 1950's, and laundry detergents were no longer marketed for dishwashing use by the time enzymes and other stain removers were added in the late 1960's...enzyme detergents were known to be harsh on hands. Also, before the 1950's, most laundry products were soaps. Now it's mostly detergents.
