Joy Jingle Contest

Ten-shun! I recently found this fun, 1950's Joy dishwashing liquid jingle contest booklet, and with a neato tie-in to CBS TV favorite, Phil Silvers and his classic Sgt. Bilko character on "The Phil Silvers Show" to boot! Finish the jingle and mail it in to win a $32,000 money tree. Super great character art, and man, I really wish the Joy bottle still had that cool, clean design. Just for fun, let's hear some of you finish the jingle in the comments below!

"...so wash your pompadour today!"

Man, I loved the Phil Silvers show when I was a tween. I used to watch it every afternoon between school and when my parents coming home from work. So much better than Gomer Pyle.

Beer makes suds that last and last
Suds that chase my cares away

Joy is gentle, Joy is fast; Joy makes suds that last and last. Suds that chase the grease away get dishes clean without delay!

Mr. Cavin said...

Oh my god! Come on, Eileen makes so much more sense now!

Some super fine jingle entries from everyone, thanks for playing along :)

And oh yeah, Mr. Karswell decided to try his poet didn't know-it hand at one as well:

"Joy is gentle, Joy is fast; Joy makes suds that last and last. Suds that chase the grease away, vajazzle your dishes like the sink's a va-jay."

Welp, you can't win 'em all, folks...
