Long, LONG ago?? O_o. Hey!! I was familiar with the “Prell”, “Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific” and the Cover Girl mascara ad. They’re from my teenage years! I ain’t THAT old (although old enough ’tis true). 😆

I remember many of them from my youth as well, although the chin reducer one was a little before my time.

I kinda suspected this, but I freely admit cheating 😉 Douglas Adams, via “The Hitchhiker’s Guide.”
Just the other day, I got the words “Zaphod Beeblebrox” stuck in my head and had to look them up. I did read the book, but it was during what a friend of mine calls “The Fuzzy Years,” so. . .
