Rosie & Bounty The Quicker Picker Upper


For years,  Rosie (Nancy Walker)
advertised Bounty as the Quicker Picker Upper!
There are a handful of commercials and slogans I loved growing up from "Calgon, take me away" to the Better Cheddars jingle. Oh, and who could forget, "A pizza, with nuttin?" Well, last night I joked that my husband spent the big bucks on Bounty, the Quicker Picker Upper paper towels instead of the cheap store brand I typically buy. 

Of course, the first thing I thought of when I realized he bought Bounty, was Rosie. Back in the '70s and '80s the redheaded character actress, Nancy Walker (from Rhoda) perfectly portrayed a sassy diner waitress. Constantly cleaning up her clumsy customer's mishaps with Bounty, the Quicker Picker Upper, Rosie  truly convinced America that Bounty got the job done right. 

Remember these old commercials?

    I do remember these commercials, and a whole lot of fun other ones, too. "Ancient Chinese Secret, huh?!?"; "You Mona's Kid?"; "I can't believe I ate the whole thing!"

    Fun old commercials! :)
