----- it was a novelty in the early 1950s, and the strip was acetate. Sadly,
this tended to distor over time. A Swedish toothpaste manufacturer would
include one in the cardboard box for the tube. You would make a slit in the
box, thread the strip and hear a commercial. Mike Biel showed me similar US
adverts about 20 years ago. Let us hope they have now solved the longevity
issue.
