From my childhood, I remember watching a Pepsodent commercial, which showed a cartoon animation of a battle between "Cowboys and Indians," which the cowboys were winning. The jingle in the background was "You'll wonder where the yellow went when you brush your teeth with Pepsodent." This was nothing unusual for TV at that time in history, but the casual racism stands out sharply in my memory.Twixter (talk) 15:56, 16 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

IBX Updates

edit

Hello pals,

I'd like to propose a change to this article's infobox.

Unilever is listed as the "Owner", but the IBX parameters found in the provided reference state:

"...is a subsidiary or division, omit the owner field and use the parent field instead"

If this doesn't cause any editor-friction, I'd like to circle back here soon and update the IBX myself!

Thank you to all!

UK TV advertising

edit

I seem to remember the Pepsodent ad was the shown at the start of the first ad break when UK commercial TV launched in 1955. I've tried and failed to find a ref to support this, but if anyone knows of a good ref it would make a useful addition to the article. Ef80 (talk) 08:41, 30 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
