I think, the toothpaste brand is spelled ULTRA BRITE, and I haven’t seen it since 1979.

@GweedoYup — Crest and Colgate.

When do they bring in the Housemother?

Wait! Wait! Zonker up at six? I don’t think so.

I remember trying Ultra-Brite. I thought the top of my head was going to fly off, it was so strong.

The joys of sharing

Mother thought that all that brighteningWould make me too excitningSo Mother never told me aboutUltraBrite

Ultrabrite is still made by Colgate. I remember buying 30 tubes in the early 70’s to get box flaps to enter a contest in which the grand prize was an AMC Gremlin.

Twelve room house and one bathroom? Recipe for domestic disaster!

@Grainpaw

Did you win it?

Maybe GT didn’t go that far with free advertising for Ultra Brite, hence the spelling Ultra Bright.

Sung to the tune of “Ein Jungling liebt ein Mädchen,” by Robert Schumann.

Talk about a dated subject and strip. So 60s, 70s.

Its a two bathroom property. Its just that there is only one bathroom with indoor plumbing, indoors. .Other than the mention of the type of toothpaste … I don’t see an out of date strip.
