Mrs. Porter experiences meltdown when her husband spills ketchup on her carefully set dining room table. She jumps up and cries out, “Oh! I wish somebody would invent a ketchup bottle that squirts where you aim it!” But is ketchup really the problem here? Maybe what she’s really saying is, “I wish somebody would invent a husband who doesn’t dump ketchup all over his food!” “Mrs. Porter,” interrupts the announcer, “I’ve got the next best thing!”—Bounty paper towels that “absorb like magic!” And sure enough, thanks to trick photography, Mrs. Porter cleans up the ketchup mess in a jiffy while Mr. Porter passively looks on. Why can’t he clean up his own messes? No wonder Mrs. Porter’s a nervous wreck.

Will Bounty Paper Towel’s unique formula of six ingredients that “attracts, drinks, sucks up spills faster” make her life with Mr. Porter any easier? Mrs. Porter has high hopes. “It sort of feels different too!” she enthuses, holding the towels while Mr. Porter silently fondles them. Obviously, Mr. Porter has behavioral problems that go beyond paper products. The gullible Porters go shopping and stock up on Bounty. Mr. Porter even helps his wife put the paper towels away in what looks like a backless cupboard in their kitchen. It’s a strange sight, but neither of them seem to notice it. Ketchup spills may be the least of this couple’s problems.
