From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Glad is an American company specializing in trash bags and other plastic storage containers.
[edit] The "Glad Man"
The Glad Man is the Glad company's spokesman featured in many of their advertisements. He is an older gentleman with white hair and is always dressed in a white suit. He has been portrayed by several actors over the years, most famously Tom Bosley. The trash bags' slogan is "Don't get mad! Get Glad!"
[edit] Mardi Gras 2006
In 2006, following Hurricane Katrina, Glad became the first official sponsor of Mardi Gras in New Orleans. This was a one time decision by the city government due to budget problems after the storm. Without this decision Mardi Gras 2006 might have been cancelled.
