Speaker 3

That the government has just put on has gone a little too far.

It was fifteen below zero back there.

Speaker 5

I really hate to wash dishes.

Speaker 10

Would you mind telling me why?

Speaker 4

For one thing?

Speaker 5

My hands hate that greasy water?

Speaker 10

Ah, then you're gonna love tide because there just isn't any greasy water when tide's in your dishpan.

Why tide cuts grease like magic seems to make grease disappear.

The water stays so clean and fresh.

It's a treat to your hands.

Speaker 4

But I also hate all the time dish washing cake.

Speaker 10

Or you gonna love tide because tide lets you wash dishes quick as one, two three.

Just wash your dishes in those heaping tide suns rinsom, then just let them drain dry.

No wiping needed for you.

See, unlike soap, tide leaves no dulling soap film, so you can skip wiping your dishes completely and they'll come out shining, sparkling bright.

So try Tide in your dishband real soon.

Remember, if you hate to wash dishes, then you're.
