Yellow background with purple and orange text. An illustration of a character with an orange head holding a pink drink is to to the left of the text and across its chest reads "Hugh Corkscrew" and on its cape "Popov (illegible)"

Popov is a grain-based vodka, which is sold at a low price point and marketed for mixed drinks. It controls a significant market share of the vodkas sold in the United States and competes with other vodkas in the low range price niche. For some time, Popov was produced by Heublein, which was an American producer and distributor of alcoholic beverages. The company is credited for popularizing vodka in the United States after it acquired the rights to Smirnoff Vodka in 1938.

The Wrangler Wracing Team operated in the Formula 5000 league from its founding in 1967 until the league went defunct in 1976. During the bulk of their existence, the Wrangler team cars were driven by Randy Lewis. They competed in the Formula A division, which was made to compete against Formula 500’s F1 division. The two divisions were nearly identical, with the FA division featuring cars of a slightly heavier build. Eventually, a depressed economy led to a lack of sponsors for the league, which quickly transitioned its resources to another division, ending the Formula A division.

Keno is a gambling game played with cards or tickets that is similar to a lottery. Players pick numbers from a set range, the house calls numbers from the range, and a player can receive a payout based on how many numbers match. Typically, the range goes from 1-80, a player will pick up to ten numbers within the range, and the house will call twenty numbers. The game is believed to have come from China, the earliest references from 1847 when the Portuguese government at Macau licensed lottery operators. Chinese immigrants brought the game with them to America. The Chicago American advertised their Keno contest in Midwestern newspapers in February 1959. $21,000 were given away weekly as prizes with no subscription or entry fee required and no minimum age.

The Oh Henry! candy bar is made with peanuts, caramel, and chocolate and was introduced by the Williamson Candy Company in 1920. It is mistakenly believed to be named after the famous baseball player Hank Aaron. Oh Henry! is actually named for a young man named Henry who regularly visited the Williamson Candy Store.  As the story goes, Henry was friendly with the female clerks who were worked there, and Mr. Williamson frequently overheard the young ladies saying, “Oh, Henry.” Mr. Williamson thought it was a good name for a candy bar and trademarked the name.

FedEx, once known as Federal Express, is a global transportation and courier delivery service based in the United States. Federal Express was founded in 1971 by Frederick Smith, as a viable alternative to the United States Postal Service - its first delivery used 14 planes and delivered a mere 186 packages. Today, the company ships thousands of packages and parcels worldwide every day by plane, train, and truck. In the 1970s, one of Federal Express' most recognizable advertising slogans was "Don't Panic!" Federal Express prided itself on getting packages to their destination in a timely and stress-free manner, allowing their customers a panic-free experience.

Ah, vintage sexism! Balls Candy used the slogan "You Need Balls To Conquer The World" and other variations to say, "These days, women have finally come into their own – with pants and permanents, muscles and makeup. But there still are a couple of things we can’t lay claim to right?" Balls Candy was trademarked in 1977, and they were sour candy balls that said women should "suck on some" for some encouragement. They ran this campaign through 1985.
