Anyone else notice that FAB was recommended for washing both your laundry and your dishes?

The contest is very similar to those that are featured in the book and movie "The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio". It is a true story of a mother who, having little money and a large family to care for, entered every high-stakes jingle contest there was from the early 50s until they went out of style in the mid 60s:

Typically, if she won something like the Motorola, it would have been sold for cash.

Its pretty much the same as putting Borax in your laundry and your dishwasher. I make most of my own cleaning products and recipes online usually call for the same ingredients for laundry detergent and dish soap. All of the new products out there just have a bunch of harmful chemicals that aren't any better than using homemade or natural products. The companies are just really good at convincing you that you NEED them to get any results.
