> [@ralph124c](#): > > Is “Ipana” toothpaste still made? I looked this up earlier this week, and was surprised that Ipana, which I thought had disappeared in the early 1960s, was actually still beuing sold elsewhere in the world. It is still marketed in those places, including Canada. According to Wikipedia, it was re-introduced in the US in 2005, but I never saw it. I remember Bucky Beaver and the “brusha-brusha” theme, but didn’t realize that Disney was responsible for the marketing, or that Jimmy Dodd (the #1 Mouseketeer, and author of many Mickey Mouse Club songs, and virtually running the MMC) not only wrote the Ipana song, but samng it. > **[Ipana](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipana)** > > Ipana /aɪˈpænə/ was a toothpaste manufactured by Bristol-Myers Company. The wintergreen-flavored toothpaste, with active ingredient 0.243% sodium fluoride, reached its peak market penetration during the 1950s in North America.

> [@Annie-Xmas](#): > > The McDonald’s Big Mac jingle only aired for a year and a half and went off the air in 1976. But I betcha everyone who was around then remembers “two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onion on a sesame bun.” I remember the words, but not the associated jingle (I assume there was one, anyway.) What I remember better are BK commercials from the '60s: “It takes two hands to handle a Whopper\>” “The bigger the burger, the better the burger. The burgers are better at Burger King!” ---
