Burma Shave, back in the fifties on the old 2 lane highways there would be sign posts with humorous poems on them, leading up to the final post that said Burma Shave. I remember them on the old highway 66 going to California with my grandpa on a visit to people he knew out there.
Another was Ipana toothpaste. Their commercial was Bucky Beaver singing "brush a brush a with the new Ipana with the brand new flavor, it's dandy for your teeth."
Another brand gone was Brylcreem, here is the Brylcreem commercial from the fifties It was a hair cream that made your hair oily, supposedly to make the girls love to run their fingers through your hair.
As far as I know Sally So Good was the first potato chip company but now they are gone and the old cans they came in are now traded on EBAY. The company was apparently taken over by Frito-Lay. As in many cases, good brands start out well, only to be devoured by larger companies, the result of which does not often turn out well.
