Wow...this is like a trip down memory lane ..all

these crazy jingles and all. Was there one Dana,

Val or n-- Winston (?) tastes good like a

(doot-doot) cigarette should! or was it a different

product all together? lol! I mean, well, I WAS a cig

smoker for 10 years, but I don't think I even thought

of it tasting good- more psychological feeling good at the

time. I thank God I quit! And boy, I think when I did,

they were about only .85 a pack! love to all in this fun

OT: Ad Slogans or What were they thinking?!

Hi, Val:

I remember the Doral ad song: "Taste me, taste me!" If I recall correctly, the pack of cigarettes did the "singing."

And, do you recall "A silly millimeter longer, 101s"? It was a brand of cigarette with 101 mm long cigarettes instead of 100 mm. OK, 1 mm is so little. I mean, how many mm's get sucked in a single puff anyway?

Oh, and Salem's: "You can Salem out of the country but you can't take the country out of Salem." Nothing says country air and the wide open like a cancer stick. (Allegedly there is a sexual subliminal message in this slogan. But, it's a stretch.)

And, finally, do you remember the airline slogan "We really move our tail for you!" I think that was Continental.

~Kate~ Yes, I think you're correct. But, what I remember most about that commercial, was the handsome cowboy riding in the sunset on his horse. Now, I think about it...what exactly does a cowboy have to do with cigarettes and the way they taste? Yes, I'm an ex-smoker too...several times. LOLOL. But, I think I've pretty much quit for good now. It would be pretty stupid on my part to be wasting money on cigarettes when I can barely afford to by food. Love and blessings...

Hi, Sharon:

My memory is that the brand name was actually "101s".

I think Benson and Hedges were also supposed to be a longer than conventional cigarette. My memory is of print ads in which smokers would accidentally break their cigarettes because they weren't used to a longer cigarette. Kind of a dumb ad campaign, non? Why would someone buy a cigarette that will break because it's too long?

And, of course, Virginia Slims: "You've come a long way, baby, to get where you got to today! You've got Virginia Slims now, baby. You've come a long, long way!"

Hi Dana:I HAD to go in search of more info now that you have my poor brain trying to remember! You are right about the name. SharonFrom http://www.pedulla.com/html/bass_reviews.html:BACK IN THE LATE SIXTIES,

when cigarettes were still being advertised on TV, the Chesterfield

brand introduced a new line of smokes called 101s, which were 101

millimeters long. The whole marketing concept behind the brand was to

poke fun at competitor Benson & Hedges, which had just introduced

Benson & Hedges 100s, and the Chesterfield ads brilliantly skewered

B & H’s obsession with size by pointing out their cigarettes were “a

silly millimeter longer” (which was sung to the tuneof “La Bamba”).Then this from Wikipedia (maybe not the best source for concrete info) but they had some great trivia re: Chesterfields. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chesterfield_cigarettes Trivia

Judson "Jud" Crandall, a main protagonist in King's

best-selling novel; "Pet Cemetery", smokes Chesterfields on many

occasions throughout the book.At one time, Chesterfield was one of the three most smoked brands of cigarettes in the United States. The non-filtered version is known for being very strong.Chesterfield was the preferred brand of Dean, who was known to be a heavy smoker, often taking in around 2 packs a day.Chesterfield was also the preferred brand of Humphrey Bogart, and Lucille Ball.Chesterfield sponsored Glenn 's radio show from 1939 to 1942. The show aired 3 times a week. Harry took over when joined the military in 1942.Chesterfield was the brand of choice for legendary college football coach "Bear" ,

who liked to smoke underneath the goalpost prior to a game and

continued to puff away as he prowled the sidelines once the game

started. Current NCAA guidelines forbid the use of tobacco by any on-field personnel.Chesterfield was the brand of choice for Philippine President L. Quezon, noted as such in various biographies.A stolen carton of Chesterfields was featured in Jim Jarmusch's film Stranger Than Paradise.A pack of Chesterfields is held up by Belushi in place of a badge in the classic comedy, The Blues Brothers.In Tony 's film True Romance, Vincenzo Coccotti ( Walken), intending to kill Clifford Worley (Dennis Hopper), offers him a Chesterfield beforehand.There is a band from San Francisco named The Chesterfields. The members, Zach Buschman and Roman, will only smoke Chesterfields.Chesterfield were the main sponsors of Gunsmoke on radio from 1954.Chesterfield was featured as the

sponsor on some of the Dragnet radio series.Chesterfield's are smoked by Nick Plews of Aghast, a UK metal bandChesterfield was featured as the sponsor on many of The Twilight Zone episodes. Rod Serling,

known for his suits and for smoking during introductions, would endorse

Chesterfields after some episodes with a catchy sentence ("there's no

denying the smooth taste").Chesterfield sponsored the Chesterfield Supper Club NBC radio series and television series, hosted by Como.In the 1940s, Leona Helmsley was a young model who appears in print ads for Chesterfield.In the 1960s, print ads for Chesterfield featured color photographs

of four smokers from various walks of life with the headline

"Chesterfield People: They like a mild smoke, but they don't like

filters."In the late 1960s, when other brands brought out extra-long 100

millimeter length cigarettes, Chesterfield unveiled its own version

under the brand name 101. The name came from the fact that it

was 101 millimeters in length, 1 millimeter longer than its

competitors. That fact was the basis for its advertising slogan "a

silly millimeter longer", which was used in TV commercials sung to the

tune of the popular Ritchie Valens song "La Bamba".In the mid 1980's, Chesterfield was the main sponsor of certain

primetime American television series shown in Argentina, such as The A-Team and Miami Vice,

and presented them as "The Chesterfield Hour," or something to that

effect. Each show would start with a musical Chesterfield intro.The cover of Fagen's album The Nightfly,

features Fagen as a Chesterfield-smoking DJ. A packet of Chesterfields

can be seen in the shot. On the track "The Nightfly", Fagen sings "I've

got plenty of java and Chesterfield Kings".In Jean-Luc Godard's film 'Breathless' (1960), Franchini (Seberg) smokes Chesterfield cigarettes much to the disgust of Michel Poicard ( Belmondo), who prefers Lucky Strikes.Ralph Ellison cites them in his novel Invisible Man.A song entitled "Chesterfield

King" can be found on punk rock band Jawbreaker's 1992 album Bivouac.In Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof (2007), Stuntman Mike can be

seen smoking a Chesterfield cigarette outside the convenience store in

the second half of the movie.Ed Crane ( Bob Thornton) is hardly seen without a Chesterfield

throughout the entirety of the Coen brothers' The Man Who Wasn't There. This email is a natural hand made product.

My mother smoked Kool filters for years. When I was about 12 I swiped one of her cigarettes and tried to smoke it in the bathroom. Yuck! It tasted awful and was nothing like it seemed in the ads. LOL I knew right then I would never smoke another menthol cigarette. But I did take up smoking and smoked for about 10 years until I got so sick from bronchitis that I coughed up blood. I finally broke the habit and now I can't stand the smell of cigarette smoke. It is so gross to me. My mother stopped smoking cold turkey when she started dropping cigarettes and started a fire in the couch. She had Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and her hands would go numb and she no longer could feel the

cigarette in her hand. She had smoked for 25 years and quit cold turkey. Amazing! Her sister however didn't stop and died of lung cancer. The cigarette ads were very effective, weren't they? I'm glad you never took up smoking!Sharon This email is a natural hand made product.

As a kid I remember that the mascot for Kool ciggies was a penguin. I definitely wanted to smoke Kools because of that penguin. And, I would even collect Kool cigarette butts that I would find on the ground! Can you believe it? This is like when I was 8 or 9 years old. One day, someone tattled to my 2nd grade teacher and she made me give her the butts from my pants pockets.

Fortunately I never did take up cigarette smoking!
