When did the Grecian Formula hair dye product stop being popular?

In the 70s and 80s you couldn’t watch a football or baseball game on TV without seeing at least one commercial for it.

About the same time Lowenbrau was last popular.

I had to watch a million of those commercials as a kid. Now that I need it, Grecian formula is nowhere to be found.

That stuff contained lead acetate and was banned in most places.

Probably, and just a guess, but when people quit buying it.

Too many douches still dying their hair and eyebrows with some kind of product.

My mom's family has a long history of going gray early, so for about 10 years, I used Just For Men dye because to slightly alter a Garth Brooks song title, I thought "I'm much too young to look that damn old." However, at roughly 50, I gave in and let the gray take over. FWIW, I'll be 63 in July and I've been totally gray for the last 11 - 12 years.

Two slightly funny stories - when I was using the dye, I asked my wife one day to pick up a box at Wal-Mart, and I told her to get the darkest brown available. She came home with black/brown dye for Black men. It was the last time I made that request of her . . .

Just after turning 50 and being all gray, my wife and I were shopping for a new tub, toilet, sinks, etc for a bathroom remodel. My wife is the same age as me, yet at Luter's Supply in Tylertown, MS, a salesman told my wife "You might want to get this gray headed fellow one of those walk-in tubs!" Gee thanks, jackass!

Excellent OT question.

I’ve never thought about it

It kind of bemuses me.

I can’t imagine how it could become political.

Perfect.

Was it just Just For Men advertising that killed it?
