Funny how things pop up. Of course, we’re huge Cindy Morgan fans over here at retroCRUSH, and an unrelated search for old Irish Spring soap commercials turned up this gem. Gotta love her Irish accent. I bought a bar of this today, and was sad to see it’s changed to more of a light green/dark green marbled effect, instead of the classic white and green as shown in the commercial. I love the proof of quality these ads used by shaving a piece off with a pocket knife. Are the Irish that concerned about hygiene that they walk around public with bars of soap in their pockets? I guess if you have handy outdoor showers behind bushes nearby, it’d make sense, I suppose.

Even more classic might be this Irish Spring commercial with the leader of the Cobra Kai

….and I like it too!
Judging from this one commercial, they apparently carry the soap around because their friends are always getting into impromtu wrestling matches with the locals, which causes them to break into a sweat and get all stinky-stanky.
