I’d Rather Fight Than Switch
So my mom pulled out some old pictures of my brothers and I. This picture was taken after my older brother had given me a black eye. I was probably between one and two years old. Back in that day, there was a cigarette comercial whose sologan was – “I’d rather fight than switch”. You can see one of the commercials from the 1960′s below.
LOL … I am old! As soon as I saw your post title, I remembered the ad campaign. Then I remembered another campaign that had all the old people grumpy at the time: “Winston tastes good like a cigarette should.” I endured many a grammatical lecture because of that silly ad campaign. The grammatically correct thing to say is, “Winston tastes good AS a cigarette should.” And ever since I’ve known the difference between “like” and “as,” all because of a cigarette ad. I was 8. I guess you take your grammar where you can get it
Sonja,
Yeah, I have no memory of these commercials. But it is cool that YouTube gives us the chance to take a peek in the past. I think that yesterday was the first time I remember seeing this picture.
What a cute black-eyed cigarette smoking kid! Looks like something out of my family albums.
Yeah man.
