No, can't say I remember any commercials like that...or maybe I was just too young to care. ShellDeFelice...you live out here in California...do they sell it where you are? I hate to admit my stupidity...I thought Calgons, or something similar anyway had to do with Star Trek. I don't know, I'm not a Trekkie ...the word just sounded familiar.

The commercial was about this lady was having a rough day with kids screaming, crying, pots boiling over, phones ringing and she'd say, "Calgon take me away!" The next thing, she's in a tub with bubbles, looking all mellow. It never worked for me.
The kids would knock at the bathroom door, "Mommmm??"
The husband would knock, " Uh, the pots boiling over, should I do something?"
Someone would offer to bring me the phone.....

How about a yacht named Calgon?accidentaltourist says,
Does said spa serve alcohol?notjustagirlintheworld says,
@AT why go if you're not going all the way. @L2 any mode of travel (first class of course) is fine by me. @Mary the pressure is really on :D LOLAQScott says,
Sometimes there just isn't enough Calgon...I like L2L3's idea :)
