EVERYONE got it wrong:

Like the lady above, back in the day mom used to spray Lysol disinfectant spray into the air in our home after she finished cleaning. For the record, Lysol was not an "air freshener".

Even though they were popular, it's impossible to find one on eBay, not that there's any way I'd buy one now, although you never know...

1977 Bounty commercial ad:

If you ask me, they guy's acting is a bit over-the-top, but that's just my opinion.
