[edit] Pop culture
According to a 1970s survey, "Mr. Whipple" topped then-U.S. President Jimmy Carter as the most recognizable face in North America. According to Charmin makers Proctor & Gamble, a 1978 survey found that "Mr. Whipple" was the third best-known American, behind recently-ousted President Richard Nixon and evangelist Billy Graham.
Country music singer Charlie Walker had a hit in 1967 with the single Don't Squeeze My Sharmon. The song is about a man and woman who are having problems. The man then sees his wife being the object of another man's affections at a bar which prompts the plea "hey...Don't Squeeze My Sharmon...". The woman's name, of course, is an alternate spelling of Charmin toilet paper and a man in a bar is squeezing her in front of her husband.
In 1985, the title track of "Weird Al" Yankovic's Dare to Be Stupid contains the lyric, "you better squeeze all the Charmin you can when Mr. Whipple's not around." Bob Rivers and Twisted Radio's "Deck the Halls"/Michael Jackson parody "Grahbe Yabalz" contains the line "Squeeze your buns like Mr. Whipple."
Mythbuster Adam Savage starred in one commercial as a stockboy named Jimmy, trying to keep the store's leaky roof from getting the Charmin wet.
In the late 1980s or 1990s, A&W had commercials featuring known television icons. The ads feature a filming of the commercial with the actors messing up the shots with an irate director through voice-over. In one commercial, the director instructs the actor to pick up a can of root beer or cream soda in close-up range; each shot is ruined when the actor kept squeezing the can and making a mess. When the director asks the actor why he keeps squeezing the can, the camera pulls up and reveals Dick Wilson in response, "Force of habit, I guess."
in 2009, Mister Whipple appeared in a filk lyric to represent squeezing
Mr. Whipple's name was borrowed from George Carroll Whipple, Jr. a public relations executive at Benton and Bowles, the advertising agency that created the ad. The real Mr. Whipple was paid one dollar for use of his name for a commercial that was to run for six months on the west coast. It became the longest running ad campaign in the history of television.
