Mr. Whipple Dead at Age 91

Thats sad.

Mr Wilson was always funny playing the drunks on Bewitched. The Charmin commercials were funny... to a point. The sight of middle-aged women standing around getting their jollies while squeezing toilet paper was funny... to a point.

RIP, Dick Wilson

Speaking of the Robbie commercial from Phil. Did anyone else notice the cue in the upper right corner on the commercial at about 24-25 seconds?

RIP Mr. Whipple!

I think they need a "Mr. Whipple" at the manufacturer these days. Now the product arrives at the store mashed all to hell!

RIP Mr. Wilson...

There used to be a great story (probably not true) about how when Nixon went to China he greeted Mao Tse Tung with a big hug, causing one of his protocol adivsors to remark "Please don't squeeze the chairman!" [Big Grin]
