The great touch is the woman interacting with the on-screen graphic....

@fromthesidelines Clark did numerous commercials...he was the man who asked shoppers if they would give up their box of Tide for two boxes of another detergent.
(Carol Burnett did a great spoof, where Harvey Korman ended up mugging her to get her box of "Tidy")

I missed the old days of advertising.

@TonyMaximMuscles No you're not. George Carlin did a bit on a 70s audio recording about the suggestiveness in 60s and 70s cigarette commercials, which, upon hearing it, prompted me to look up the commercial in the first place.

Jack Clark died of bone cancer in 1988 at the age of 62. I wonder if cigarette smoking had anything to do with his illness? He didn't "make it long" unfortunately.

I remember this song being sung faster, with the extra line: "It's taste that makes the difference / In a Winston Super King!" That undoubtedly was from a later commercial; this one is introducing the new longer Winston when it was first marketed.

Love all the references to length and size and how you make it long.

This was first seen in 1967, featuring Jack Clark as spokesman at :35 {he was famous as an announcer and occasional game show host, especially on Allen Ludden's "PASSWORD" during the '60s}. This is a black & white kinescope of an original color videotape spot.
Am I the only one who sees all of the fallic symbolism going on here???
