    The medicine's name was said 'Six-sixty-six', not 'six-six-six'. Radio ads for the medicine had the following jingle, sung to the tune of Farmer in the Dell:

    Six-sixty-six
    Six-sixty-six
    Colds make you feel so bad,
    Take Six-sixty-six

    It also explains why it’s called that (it was the next number in the original pharmacist’s prescription book).

    Oh, allow an old type fetishist (I've since had therapy) a moment to say how I just loved those Filmotype phototypefaces. ❤️🕴️🥰❤️
