#1948's most popular drug of choice.. Thank You MadMen PR companies!

But then we are buying, not selling seats. Anyway, that jingle was drilled into my head as a kid. Glad I never smoked.

The American Tobacco Company took over the sponsorship of “The Jack Benny Program” from Grape Nuts Flakes as of the October 1, 1944 season opener. While some accounts of old-time radio and advertising history believe that the “Pall Mall” brand of cigarettes was going to be the focus originally, it would be the “Lucky Strike” brand that would lend its name to the show.

The Lucky Strikes commercial at the beginning of the program was done in New York, while the main body of the program was done in Hollywood. The original “Lucky Strike” commercial announcers as of the initial October 1944 shows were Kenny Delmar, Del Sharbutt, Basil Ruysdael, and the auctioneer Lee Aubrey (Speed) Riggs. Yes, it took four people to deliver a barely-over-one-minute-long commercial. The auctioneer would do his auction spiel, always ending with “sold, American!” or just “American”. The focus was on repetition of the main talking points that the American Tobacco Company wanted to target, especially the “LS-MFT” tagline, which stood for “Lucky Strikes Means Fine Tobacco”. The other slogan was “so round, so firm, so fully packed—so free and easy on the draw”. Both of these slogans were always repeated at least twice in the opening commercial. Emphasis was also placed on the high quality of the tobacco purchased at auction, used to manufacture Lucky Strikes.

Maybe today it would be "Sold in China"

called ATO this AM who verified that all the seats in upper F are shown as sold on their data base. Why these seats still show up as being available on this [URL="https://seatselection.seats3d.com/ncaa/university_california_berkeley/seat_selection/#/sec_f/browse/"][COLOR="Navy"]link[/COLOR][/URL] is beyond me.
