[1970s jingles](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=337071) got me thinking about old commercial taglines. Got some from the '70s? (Or '60s)? **Winston cigarettes** _Winston tastes good, like a cigarette should._ As \* a cigarette should. Which would you rather have? Good grammar, or good taste?\* **AMC Matador** _So that’s a Matador!_ **Chrysler Cordoba** _Rich Corinthian leather!_ **Tareyton cigarettes** _I’d rather fight than switch!_ **Decaffeinated coffee** (I don’t remember the brand.) _They can put a man on the moon, but they can’t make a decaffienated coffee that tastes good_ **Rolaids** _How do you spell relief? R-O-L-A-I-D-S._ **Alka-Seltzer** _Mama Mia, that’s a spicy meatball!_ **Chiffon margarine** \*It’s not nice to fool Mother Nature. \* ---

**It’s a Subaru!** Absolutely perfect tagline. Bulletproof in its simplicity - it makes no claims other than what can be proven simply by looking at the car. Ultimate Driving Machine? Built Tough? Prove it! **It’s downright upright.** Harvey’s Bristol Cream **Hey Culligan Man!** Culligan water softeners ---
