Taking another walk down memory lane (jumping off from the medicine chest topic). What crazy commercial jingles do you remember?
The one that would never fly now - Virginia Slims “you’ve come a long way baby, to get where you got to today, you got your own cigarette now baby, you’ve come a long long way” (they were cigarette just for women)
Nair - “who wears short shorts, we wear short shorts…”
The classic “There’s a fragrance that’s here today, and they call it Charlie”
“You can take Salem out of the country, but you can’t take the country out of Salem.”
After a while, it had become such an ear worm, they truncated the jingle so you could fill in the blank: “You can take Salem out the country, BUT…” (With a “ding” sound)
“When EF Hutton talks, people listen.”
“When you eat too well, demand Di-Gel.”
“Alka-Seltzer. Plop, plop, fizz, fizz, oh what a relief it is.”
“Northwest Orient…Airlines. The fanjet airline.”
“See the USA in your Chevrolet”
“I’d like to teach the world to sing, in perfect harmony (whole song followed). It’s the real thing. Coke…”
“I’d walk a mile for a Camel (unfiltered cigarette)”
“Gotta make the donuts…” DD
“Please don’t squeeze the Charmin.”
“She can bring home the bacon, fry it up in the pan, and never, ever ever let you forget you’re a man.” In an ironic senior moment, I can remember the entire jingle verbatim, but I can’t remember the product!
“They make money the old fashioned way. They earn it.” – slogan from Smith Barney brokerage commercials.
That slogan has been parodied by many when describing some specific wealthy people or families: “They made money the old fashioned way. They inherited it.”
