The text reads:

Sure. You live with him and take care of him and hang up his clothes. But just because you do the things a wife's supposed to do, don't forget you're still a woman.

One of the nicest things you can do for a man is take care of your skin. That means Sardo. No other bath oil or bead has Sardo's unique dry skin formula. It's pure bath oil. The richest. The best. 3 out of 4 women saw and felt and loved the difference after just one Sardo bath.

How about you? Why don't you do something soft and young and special for him. Feel wonderful all over with Sardo.

You know, we really have come... not a long way, but a bit of a way.

Amen. That ad is just... wow.

1. I assumed this would be some feminine hygiene product. It's only marginally better than that, but at least it's not implying that her vagina smells bad.

2. Isn't that the actress from Hill Street Blues?

Veronica Hamel was a very sucsessful model in the 60's and early 70's

i always confused her with connie seleca!

Yes, why NOT do something soft and young and special for him, in-between living with him and taking care of him and hanging up his clothes? After all, he deserves it.

"Sure. You live with him and take care of him and hang up his clothes. But just because you do the things a wife's supposed to do, don't forget you're still a woman. " - And not ONE mention of blow jobs! What kind of cut rate product is this? Who wrote this ad? They didn't know what they were talking about!

Sorry. That was tacky of me, wasn't it?

Okay that made me laugh like hell! :-)

[tudor-diva.livejournal.com]

Sweet! At least there SOMETHING funny coming out of Houston.

[kokosbolla.livejournal.com]

so when you don´t live with a man...you just don´t take care of your skin....

[marstokyo.livejournal.com]

Sure, you wash his soiled undies, but....


You'd think they'd come up with a better name than SARDO? Sheesh-- it sounds gross.

[miss-october.livejournal.com]

It does...sounds like sardine or something.

Why don't you do something soft and young and special for him

Cuz you really don't want him to sleep with the underage waitress at the local diner while you are busy hanging up his clothes.

Live with him and hang up his clothes? What kind of slacker wife is she? Shouldn't she also be cleaning the house and making sure there's a hot meal waiting for him when he gets home from work, too?

Darned wimmens lib!

Ooooooer D:

You're like a wife, but better, because you're a woman, too.

Sardo--Because you're a slut...but you should at least be a moisturized one?

[lizaah.livejournal.com]

The name reminds me of sardines.....ewwwww

This is cringe-worthy but for sheer self-imposed misogyny, nothing beats that old Lysol ad from when it was a douche and not for spraying on counter tops and babies' heads and whatever.

Sardo. Because HE'S worth it.

[salenelle.livejournal.com]

gosh. was it that much of a stretch back then to just sell something by saying "do something nice for yourSELF"? How much of a stretch was that. It's like "While you're doing things for him, why not do one more thing... for him? I am not down with bashing women for taking care of their men, but jeeze louise, this total selflessness and total attention on the man.. not right.

I men,a it opens up all cans of worms. Like, if you don't have man, you can be as dry and as scaly as you wanna be; no one's looking anyway. No self indulgence here; it's all for that naked guy behind you.

This is why I miss ads with long copy.

"She can lead you to love
She can take you or leave you
She can ask for the truth
But she'll never believe you
And she'll take what you give her, as long as its free
She steals like a thief
But shes always a woman to me."
As long as she uses Sardo and moisturizes.

SARDO. Because you don't want your Vag smelling like one.

[sorcerer-mickey.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, "Why don't you do something soft and young and special for him?" Heaven forfend that you might ever do anything "soft and young and special" for yourself...
