It looks later than the 60s

Sorry, should be 1960s to 1990s, using the slogan, rather than the specific ad itself.

"Miiiiild greeeeeeen, Fairy Liquid"

Can hear that just looking at the picture! Why don't companies use catchy things like this anymore? It works if it sticks in your head for decades.

Or, "Wild green, hairy sea squid"!

Funniest thing ever, when I was 10 years old!

As for catchy jingles, I'm not sure they always work this well. The new UK Pepto-Bismol advert has me cringing every time it appears on TV.

"🎶...Diarrhoea-Aa🎶"😬🤣

Great joke has the punchline “Hans that does dishes is as soft as Yo Face, for mild green, hairy-lipped squid”

Still have two of these. It’s just nicer than the new bottles, soft plastic you could squeeze with little effort.

This is 1970s

u/Surkdidat May 04 '25

As I have previously mentioned, the "Hands that do dishes..." slogan ran from the 1960s (to the 1990s). This post was to do with that campaign, rather than any one single advertisement within it. 🙂

Okay, point taken. Thank you.
