Nope, these were words that were not part of any creative attempts. Reversed letters, incorrect letters, etc.

And no B.O. anywhere.

oh yeah I did forget that one. BTW, when did body odor from all of the non-public covered parts of our bodies become a major issue. Exactly what are we doing when out and about that makes this a major concern……not that I support stink mind you.

I have actually encountered people in desperate need of such products. They actually left a trail of odor and if you crossed it, the miasma would cling to you and your clothes and hair until you showered. Truthfully, these people did not need these products so much as they needed a lengthy shower, shampoo and to burn their clothes. And maybe some education about the importance of personal hygiene.

I remember where I was during 9/11.

I had been asleep and had no idea anything had happened. I went into the bathroom and turned on the radio and the voices were all wrong. It wasn't the usual people, I didn't recognize them and they were very somber. I knew something really awful had happened. I assumed there had been a massive earthquake in southern California. I ran into the living room to turn on the tv and saw the second plane hit live.

You know I don’t clearly remember this but somehow it does sounds vaguely familiar.

... no lingerie commercials. either. I remember when the "Cross-Your-Heart" 18-hour bra commercials started, my poor grandmother about had a cow!

The o.g. ding dong

Nope! RING DINGS! Ding Dongs were the long, rolled ones. What can I say? I was a connoisseur of both!

Was that ‘lift and separate’?

Yes. Much better than "smash and mash."

Like that Seinfeld episode where the valet had bad bo and it clinged to anyone that rode in the car. Jerry ended up handing the keys to a punk on the street, just to get rid of the car

Exactly. I thought it was just a funny, hyperbolic episode until I actually encountered it. Funny thing is, we went to the Honda dealership and were looking at used cars... and one of the salesmen ran out and stopped us as we were approaching one car... would not let us check it out, not even open a door. We were like, What's wrong with it? ... he finally admitted it smelled bad inside and they had yet to detail it. He was not sure they could even get the smell out of it.
