"MaryAnn, what are you doing?"

Heh. So that's what you were like as a child, MaryAnn?

Okay, seriously, this ad was obviously before your time, but I can't help but wonder if that quote is the reason you picked out this ad. But, alas, it will forever be a mystery...

What is it about the tone of that woman's voice that screams "FIFTIES!!"? People don't talk like that anymore, and not just because she says things like, "Gracious!"
