Picture men with high foreheads and white coats: " we've got the knowhow, because we've got the brains"?

Ohhh first one is alker seltzer. 2nd can't remember the last one is milk. In the 70s the milk ads were about Humphrey who had a very long stripey straw who used said straw to nick your milk on the doorstep. Hence watch out watch out there's a humphrey about. Actually I have a guilty secret the kids in our street used to play humphreying.. We'd nick folks milk and leave the empty bottle just like Humphrey... Very very naughty

Yep, for 1st one.

2nd one: here's a clue: think of electrical goods - toasters, clothes irons, etc.

Ahh. I remember the stripey staws, now you mention them - good! that's settles that in my mind  .
