Remember cigarette advertising on TV? We're the last generation that does, before the anti-smoking Tobaccaliban came to power.

Can anyone name these brands from their jingles?

1. "__________ tastes good, like a cigarette should."

2. "You can take __________ out of the country but,
     You can't take the country out of __________."

3. "You've come a long way baby,
      To got where where you've got to today,
      You've got your own cigarette now baby,
      You've come a long, long way."

4. "Taste me, taste me. Come on and taste me.
      That's all _________asks."

5. "Hey big spender, why don't you spend a little dime with me."

Not than I'm a big fan of smoking. Hey, does anyone remember the early anti-smoking cartoon commercial called "Johnny Smoke?"
He was a masked cigarette cowboy who rode into town and made everyone cough to death? He even had his own theme song.

Not a Brady Boomer.  Real Boomer a few years to sooner.

Thus I remember #5, Edie Adams singing this one for Muriel Cigars!
