Subject: John Cameron Swayze Product?
Written By: zotsfreak on 01/10/06 at 3:06 pm
It just took us an hour to remember 1950's and 1960's news commentator John Cameron Swayze's name when we were trying to remember who sold a particular product on TV.
Name that product from this classic ad campaign(no cheating on the web!!)

Yep! It also broight to mind the BIC Pen commercial where they would fire one from a rifle and it would still write! (We also used to open beer and soda cans with them in the "before-the-pull-tab" days and when cans were made of heavy gage steel!
