If the yanks had said that African smelled or that blacks had smelled, I'm sure that theta would have been considered racist.
It's not unusual for one set of nationals to believe that another set is unhygienic. |

In answer to dan, the toothpaste in the tin could have been "Dentifrice"...?
My father was a pharmacist and often brought me home from the shop a brand of children's toothpaste called "Punch and Judy" - banana flavoured!
(as an aside my father also used to have a customer come in every Friday night for a tube of Contraceptive cream, which he referred to as "grinding paste") |

My family used Bon Ami scouring cleanser. It came in a red cylinder with a yellow chick on the front and the logo, "Hasn't scratched yet".

Baking soda had been big for most polishing, cleaning, and neutralizing tasks. I used it a lot on car battery boxes. My sister used it on my thermos and amazed me at how nicely it cleans it. Also great for polishing the coffee pot. I believe it was used for brushing teeth although it is abraisive. Turned teeth white I think they said.
Bon Ami and Comet were our power cleaners in the '60s. Remember The Ghost & Mr. Chicken with Don Knotts? Blood was found in the attic and on the organ keyboard and the cute old lady used to say about cleaning it up, "And they couldn't get it off with Bon Ami!"
