Beverly Hillbillies - Winston Cigarettes

Recommended Posts

As an indication of the decline of language standards, the Winston commercial was once at the center of a controversy over the advertiser's use of the ungrammatical "tastes good like a cigarette should." Unlike the Hillbillies and the Flintstones, Walter Cronkite refused to deliver the ad copy as written.

Today such usage would go unnoticed and certainly unremarked.
