Wow, this was the 60's!! Four guys surround a pretty girl, whip out packs of cigarettes with a cigarette sticking out of each, while singing "It's not how long you make it, it's how you make it long"!! A fifth guy explains while the guys and girl sway with each other in the background, and we get a card that says "Winston New Super King Size". What a slogan!! And hey, the girl IS quite pretty!!...

  • 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.
