6... Sorry I didn't take Ancient History 101 in college...:D
 
19 or 20. I had to guess at #19, and I couldn't remember what I guessed.

I'm certain that I'm not old.
 
Yep, I'm old and got them all too.

I sure am glad the font is large as well......:whistle:
 
I missed 3, I am not sure if that is because I am younger than most of the retirees, or because my memory is fading cause I am older.
 
I got 19, I missed the Pepsodent one. How could I have missed that one? It's the only answer that rhymed!
 
Got 20 -- apparently those ad jingles have been bouncing around in my head for 50 years.

Coach
 
I got 17, but I did guess lucky on a couple.

And, believe it or not, I appeared on Candid Camera twice as a very young child. They came to my nursery school (so I guess I was about 4 years old) in New York and I got picked a couple of times. Too bad that was long before we had the ability to tape shows. My parents tried to take a photo of the (B&W) TV screen while I was on! :LOL:
 
I got 20, but number 11 is wrong. It was Jack Weinberg, not Bob Dylan. I only know that because I lost a bar bet once when I said it was Abbie Hoffman. :D
 
20, but Joe Namath was a guess.

I had an advantage because I am 62, so all these crazy things were part of my life.
