Yes I would, Jon, but there's more tantalizing commercial phrases you
could've used to pique my interest:

  I'd walk a mile for an Ampico !
  Give a Hoot .. play an Ampico !
  Ampico stops leaks before they happen !
  Works real fine .. lasts 'long time ...
  Ampico .. the "yes" piano
  It's not your father's Ampico !
  That's right .. I'll paint any stack, just $99.99 !
    (Earl Shibe, Auto Painter)
  Thrills millions on contact !
  Get Ampico .. it fizzes !
  The Ampichron; takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin' !
  Should a gentleman offer - an Ampico to a lady?
  "It's just not dinner without Ampico Dinner Rolls."
  Take a tip from Josephine The Plumber:
      Ampico belts out those tough chords !
  "You'll wonder where the ciphers go'd
      when you play your rolls with Ampico !"
  New and improved, lemon-scented Ampico hit's the spot !
  The music go round and round .. and it comes out here !
  Ampico rolls .. so mild, so light, so firmly packed
  "I'm cleaning my Ampico!!" (toilet bowl cleaner take-off)
  "Got Rolls?"
  For gentle, overnight relief, "Ampico"
