You probably don't remember that Walter Mondale used the same slogan in his 1984 presidential campaign, but with far less success. The others are also pitchwomen: Wendy Kaufman was "The Snapple Lady"; Candice Bergen did Sprint commercials in the 1990s (during her stint as "Murphy Brown") and was called "The Dime Lady" (how long ago that was!); Alice Playten had her husband taking Alka-Seltzer for a 'giant' meatball.
