Nnnnn! It's a great feeling!

Nnnnn! It's a great feeling!

That's what everybody's saying now that one of the most dangerous confinement cults in the Midwest appears to be almost out of business at long last. Not to mention the hilarious results of the past 2 election cycles.

This expression came from an old commercial for Pearl Drops tooth polish.

Yeah, that one. You know, the one in which an actress runs her tongue along her front teeth. This ad was seen by Americans of all ages, day and night - on over-the-air TV, no less.

Tsk, tsk.

For those who think I'm making this up, the commersh has finally surfaced on YouTube:

That ad is reportedly from 1975, but I could have sworn it was from a couple years later, because I was only 2 in 1975. It aired constantly. You couldn't watch a commercial TV station without seeing it.

And so, my mind was corrupted by TV at an early age. (Don't tell the moral panic types, because they'll try to ban TV! Wait, they practically have.)
