Watkins is the asshole who decided making children's medicine out of antifreeze was a good idea.

On one hand, sulfa and antifreeze WOULD kill whatever disease was in you. So that would be good.
On the other hand, it did it by killing the patient, 120 times over. That was definitely bad.

Or the Febreeze one with the old guy running down the stairs to the basement bathroom because, "You're my #1 place to go #2."

Number #2???!!! What are we - 3 years old? Aauuugggghhhhh!

I pretty much do not like any ad campaigns about feces. "We all go. Why not enjoy the go?" I really don't want to hear about it when I am having dinner.

I'm a pediatric nurse practitioner, and after 42 years on the job, I am sick of talking about poop. Once I retire, I am never discussing it again, except at the vet's office.

There was an urban legend that he died shortly after the Life commercial was made and it's not true. He grew up and is in media advertising now. The Life commercial used his real house and real kitchen for the ad and the other actors were his siblings. He doesn't remember a thing about it. He remains puzzled over how he became so iconic for such a short spot where he didn't even have any lines.

He went from being a nobody to a Madison Ave. advertising executive. He also had the Tareyton account, but they went to another firm somewhere between "Dual Filter Tareyton (my grandfather's)" to "I'd rather fight than switch."

His immediate ancestors were deadbeat Mississippi riverboat gamblers who fled to New York to escape their debts. I guess a certain amount of wit was a requirement to survive in those days.

I was about 11, at boarding school, and we paid a high school dude 50 cents a pack to buy us cigarettes.
I soon changed to Marlboro, and smoked until I was about 16, then quit to save money to buy a car.
