This commercial just popped into my head, while at work. My coworker was telling me how she had, dusted, mopped the floor, folded the laundry, & I piped in & asked, "Did you bring home the bacon & fry it up in a pan?" 😂 She didn't get it. She's about 12 yrs younger than me. The 70's & 80's had great, memorable jingles!

Then as I got older I realized that women were always marginalized, and the 70's was like their coming out party... Now here in 2020 (and from 2016's presidential election) I realize that woman are STILL marginalized. How sad. =M=

My mom had this perfume, it wasnt bad,typical Jovan stuff. But this is classic 80's - for a new sophisticated decade......

I was 7 when this commercial aired. Had women thinking we could do it all. The lies those commercials sold us back then! Had me thinking the Kool aid man was going to pop up at my house when my family drank it🤣.
