Pardo me, I couldn't help but overhear.

Compton's in early years.

One time at a taping I asked Don if he did the encyclopedia plug in one breath. He said that he never thought about it, but would during the mid-break on that episode. Later while they rolled 60 seconds of blank film, Don said \"OK, let's find out\".

Anncr: \"The new major Encyclopedia International from Grolier Incorporated is the source authority for the preparation of questions and answers used on Jeopardy. We'll return to play Double Jeopardy with Art Fleming in just a moment\".

Don smiled and said \"One breath!\"

He was clearly referring to the plug, as he sucked enough hot air to float the Hindenburg before the tease.   ;-)

 Hey, I still have that!  The cooler, not the chicken.


Great start, Chris.
How the hell did you remember My Sin perfume by Lanvin?!

By the way, \"doesn't your recipe deserve Creamette?\"

What about a lovely [insert variety of dead animal here] coat from Dicker and Dicker of Beverly Hills? Won't be getting any more of those.

We're mingling the '50s and '70s here. Hundreds of fee items were turned into household names during the '70s and '80s.

On P+ I did some of my research at the old Hollywood public library (same location but since burnt down) where they had a Compton's Pictured Encyclopedia. Let me tell ya, it was a damn lousy encyclopedia. A librarian had suggested to me the Encyclopedia Britannica, but the World Book was far, far more useful for our purposes. One afternoon I was sent without explanation to an address in Beverly Hills and returned with a brand new set of World Book encyclopediae to be used on P+. How that deal was arranged I never found out.

\"My Sin\" came back to me when I was Googling on Jungle Gardenia. Now the question is, which show(s) gave it away?
