Appeared in "MAD" magazine in the mid-1960's with lyrics: "Comet: it makes your teeth so clean. Comet: it tastes like gasoline. Comet: it makes you vomit, So get some Comet and vomit today!" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.113.175.235 (talk) 07:36, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Regional variation?[edit]

I learned this song at Bible Camp in southwestern Oklahoma (near Hobart, to be more specific), but what I learned had both "lips turn green" and "tastes like gasoline". I _assume_ this was a regional variation, but has that combo been seen elsewhere? Dstar3k (talk) 07:14, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I should note, for reference, that this was in the early 80's. Dstar3k (talk) 07:15, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
