BRYLCREEM GIRL IN TUBE

Shortly before the Beatles made mop tops the rage, '60s hair-goo products like Brylcreem—"A little dab'll do ya"—permeated TV ads, none more famous than this one, featuring a slinky woman slithering up and out of a 'creem tube. (The tube was 12 feet tall; the Brylcreem girl wasn't inside it, but climbed a ladder behind it.) A little more than 30 years on, the tag line on this ad—"Are you man enough to try it?"—seems quaintly prehistoric.
