Do you remember this commercial?
Well, of course you do. Unless you were in diapers at the time, in which case, I kind of hate you. Only because you’re younger and probably have fewer wrinkles and dimples than I do. I’m sure you’re a lovely person, otherwise.
Because of that crazy commercial, I still put my laundry detergent directly on my husband’s collars. What can I say, I’m a child of the eighties.
And commercials are powerful influences.
Now there’s a new Wisk commercial on the horizon.
I don’t think much has changed between then and now. I suppose my mom fought the same battles I fight, although maybe not because I wasn’t exactly the kind of kid that got dirty.
But my kids?
Oh do they ever get dirty.
Ask anyone, and they will tell you that I always say that the worst stains I have to fight are the ones from the dirt and grass in our yard. I can get out almost any stain except that. I have actually had to throw clothes away due to grass and mud stains. So I am VERY eager to see what this new stain spectrum technology entails.

“Stain Spectrum Technology”??? Oh My Word!! Does it come with a chemistry set and a mini-scientist to live in your laundry room?
But that old commercial. I had TOTALLY forgotten. But the moment the man’s voice said, “Those dirty rings!” Argh! I still have the WHOLE commercial memorized, deeply imbedded in my brain. Wow, and he didn’t even sing it.
I have never used Wisk, but oh do I remember those commercials!
My mother would always get so mad and say “she needs to tell her husband to wash his d*** neck”
LOL! thanks for the blast from the past.
*SNORT* I love your mom.
I soooo remember Wisk. We used to use it only for stain removal. I was an adult before I ever learned that it was a detergent not just a stain remover. Go figure.
I’ve thrown away a lot of socks in my day due to mud. I’m with ya. I used to use de-solv-it on clothes but that was not a for sure fix but it worked a heck of a lot better than shout it out.
Mud and grass aren’t mt enemy, now chocolate ice cream, ugh!!! Why do they always drip it down their shirts?
I swear I fixed “mt” to say “my”, hmm…
LOL. I do have trouble with choc ice cream too, now that you mention it. I guess I should just stop buying light colored clothes.
Wow! Laundry Detergent is so impressive these days! I have been making my own for the last 3 years, so I have no idea what’s out there. =)
