Picture

Does anyone have a picture of the frowning 1960s Mr. Clean?

Name in germanic languages

An interesting detail is that Mr. Proper is read out "mister Proper" in Sweden but "Meister Proper" in Germany (Meister=Master and Proper=thick cheeks (according to my east German friends).

LMAO! Ha, your friends are pulling your leg on the thick cheeks thing, but tell em thanks for the laugh.

"Proper" means a lot of things in German, and the word itself is close to extinction. Probably most Germans only know about it because of Meister Proper. "Proper" can mean a special type of face in a young face, which then was something to achive, today it might be called obese (thus the thick cheeks variation), "proper" might also mean "well-done" or "tidy". It also was in use for young gentlemen, especially in the Prussian, Bavarian and Austrian armies of the 1800s, to express the desirability of marrying them. "Meister" on the other hand is used not for a superior in a master-slave-enviroment or for an academic, but for a craftsmen who achieved their "Meisterprüfung", an old tradition that dates back to the medevial. The "Meister"-title is obligatory to operate a list of businesses in Germany and Austria even today. --93.194.206.216 (talk) 06:45, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Could the hyperlink to the "Britain's Cleaner" ad constitute contributory copyright infringement?

In the External links, section there is a hyperlink to the "Britain's Cleaner" ad. Could this raise copyright concerns? - Elegie (talk) 01:24, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Competition controversy?

Why have facts been stated twice in this section? They are also confusing, as one statement says that a website ran the competition, and another statement says that Mr. Clean ran the competition. If someone knows enough about the topic, could you please clean that section up. Cheers --203.134.149.229 (talk) 14:20, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Lack of information beyond advertising history

This is all very interesting, but what is it made of? Ventifax (talk) 20:14, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

I agree. I was looking up "Flash", the UK version, and there is nothing here on it beyond the opening statement. Whereas almost all that follows is the advertising history, mostly of the character, which is absolutely irrelevant to what I was looking for, especially when I am redirected to this page when looking for "Flash (cleaning product)" 138.38.228.25 (talk) 00:28, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
