R.I.P. Mr. Whipple

I read yesterday that Mr. Whipple, the “Please don’t squeeze the Charmin” guy, died last week. Age 91. That ad campaign lasted 20 years, starting in 1964, and included over 500 commercials. Real name: Dick Wilson. The first ad was filmed in Flushing, NY–somebody’s idea of a wierd joke.

In interesting guy, according to this obit.
