Well, sort of. There was never a statement that it wasn't a plug for Dawn and in most cases it was obvious that it was a commercial. The guy would come in and talk about the product and everyone would egg him on and ask him questions and nobody was fooled. Nor was there any attempt to fool anyone.

Archive.org has a lot of these old radio shows, some of which are very good and fun to listen to. Try listening to some Jack Benny shows or some Burns and Allen shows and you'll see what I mean. Both of those also had TV shows after their radio days and they did those commercials the same way. Those are also on archive.org and also on youtube.
