I wonder if this is where RAH got the idea about the character Kip Russel sending in soap wrappers and slogans, to win a trip to the moon - and all he got was a beat up space suit...

Too similar for a coincident?

I remember an episode of MASH where Hawkeye went up to the peace talks and when he got back, they displayed Burma-Shave signs.

HAWK WAS GONE
BUT NOW HE'S HERE
DANCE TILL DAWN
AND GIVE A CHEER
Burma-Shave

Lolz.

My bad, it wasn't that episode, it was the last one.
