The Most Bombastic Ad Claim
Literally. From 1955.
To be fair, America detonated the first hydrogen bomb in 1952, so it was becoming, relatively, old news. And that trailer is a beaut!

Giovanni Lido 9 months agoBombast from the OED: 1a. The soft down of the cotton-plant; raw cotton; cotton-wool. Obs.
1b. attrib. Cotton. Obs. 2a. Cotton-wool used as padding or stuffing for clothes, etc. Obs. exc. Hist.
2b. fig. Padding, stuffing; stopping of the ears. 3a. fig. Inflated or turgid language; high-sounding language on a trivial or commonplace subject; ‘fustian’; ‘tall talk’. [This sense has been erroneously supposed to have originated in the name of Paracelsus (P. A. T. Bombast von Hohenheim).] …So, bombastic means fluffed up with little substance.
Nothing to do with bombs, Copyranter! -
