Commercial for Bounty paper towels; scene in a diner with an electrician and Rosie the waitress; he finishes his repair job and Rosie offers coffee for his break, but he knocks over a glass of soda; Rosie wipes the spill with Bounty, praising its quick absorbency--which he disputes; she then shows the absorption test and the strength test (lifting three wet cucumbers), which he’s impressed; when he returns to his work, he shorts the entire lighting in the diner, causing the diners to cry out in unison; Rosie lights a match while holding the Bounty and says: “that’s Bounty! The quicker picker upper!”
