While i have no expectations that non-yanks would know anything about this, for people who live there, and have lived there their whole lives, i have some expectations 😉
 
But sales declined in the 1950s, and in 1963 the company was sold to Phillip Morris. The signs were removed at that time.

I wasn't around in 1963. I am happy that you like this sort of advertising but don't be so hard on us "yanks" simply because we don't know exactly what you are talking about.

Yeah, it's entirely elitist of me 🙁

It's the kind of thing that fascinates me i guess, and it was hardly a minor phenomenon 😱

Who said anything about being yank dug?

I'm more of a descendant of the British Empire than you are.

I remember this / from back in the day / when that?s all we had / cause the radio wouldn?t play
 
I'm old enough to remember the Burma Shave signs...When I was a little "shaver" they were posted along highways everywhere...
"At their height of popularity there were 7,000 Burma-Shave signs stretching across America. The familiar white on red signs, grouped by four, fives and sixes, were as much a part of a family trip as irritating your kid brother in the back seat of the car. You'd read first one, then another, anticpating the punch line on number five and the familiar Burma-Shave on the sixth."

The place to pass
On curves
You know
Is only at
A beauty show
Burma-Shave

He tried
To cross
As fast train neared
Death didn't draft him
He volunteered
Burma-Shave
