When Oxydol was a major detergent (1960's-70's)

 Here's a block of commercials Procter & Gamble produced for Oxydol laundry detergent. Pat Carroll (ex-Make Room For Daddy) stars in 3 of the 5 ads, including one with Bill Fiore as a salesman, perfecting the sad sack character he'd later use in Right Guard ads with Chuck McCann.


P & G sold Oxydol off in 2000, and it's changed hands again since, such that you'd be hard pressed to find it at supermarkets these days.
