And backwards.
40+ years later and I can still whip that out a quickly as the 50 digits of pi I was memorizing around the same time.

“Calgon, take me away!”
“Ancient Chinese secret, huh?”
Joe Namath in the panty hose. I don’t even remember what product that was!
that was Beauty Mist pantyhose (I looked it up). He also did noxema shaving cream - there is one with Farrah Fawcett
How about OJ running through the airport for Hertz.
“does she or doesn’t she only her hairdresser knows for sure”
When it says Libby’s Libby’s Libby’s

You will like it like it like it
On your table table table
Not a jingle, but remember Palmolive -
“You’re soaking in it now“
“When Lipton blows the whistle - you’ve gotta have a cup of tea!”
I didn’t read through all of these, so maybe it’s been posted already. But funny - just now DH, a native New Englander, made himself a Fluffernutter sandwich. I had bought a container of Marshmallow Fluff to make homemade fondant for a cake - it’s definitely not something I ever buy. And though I often forget what I came into a room to get or what I had for breakfast, I had no problem immediately singing him the jingle that I hadn’t heard or thought of in about 50 years: “Oh you need fluff, fluff, fluff, to make a fluffernutter. Marshmallow Fluff - and lots of peanut butter!”
For the folks who grew up watching Boston TV stations, remember this ad jingle for (I think) a furniture store, giving its phone number:
“How many cookies did Andrew eat? Andrew 8-8000!” …and then it continued. We never shopped there, but I remember their phone # to this day.
How about Tom Carvel, doing his own ads touting the “Fudgy the Whale” cake? He had a voice that was almost guttural.
Seems like every Carvel cake used the same mold, just about!
Yes the carvel cakes all were the same shape just turned in different directions and decorated differently.
I think this one is Philadelphia specific:
“If you’ve got a passion for fashion
And you’ve got a craving for saving
Take the wheel of your automobile
And swing on down to Ideal!”
If you grew up in the Detroit area, you remember, “Have no fear with Belvedere…call Tyler 8-7100 for a home improvement date.”
“cotton keeps America comfortable”
I haven’t seen this one here, so let me just walk in front of that bus.
“My wife, I think I’ll keep her” (Geritol 1972)
How ancient is this? Because they have not used exchange names for decades.
I assume this was a Southie business since 268 is a Southie exchange. And I guess the Andrew exchange name references either Andrew Square and/or the T stop.
Chock Ful a Nuts is the Heavenly Coffee
It’s two, two, two mints in one - Certs
Double your pleasure, double your fun - Doublemint gum
Heard it through the grapevine - California Raisins
This was in the 1960’s–I am only in my mid-60’s! I guess that IS ancient!
“Pardon me, but would you have any Grey Poupon?”.
…“but of course”.

All phone numbers were referenced by exchange when I was growing up. (See my post #71). Ours was Dunkirk 9-9305. Grandma’s was Warwick 8-8610. It’s hard to forget something you had to carve into your cave wall.
Growing up near St. Louis, I can still remember the address of a car dealer from the radio jingle.
“He’s your Chevy’s best friend today, Gene Jansen Chevrolet.
He’s at 5400 Natural Bridge, the biggest and best you’ll say
Oh, he’s your Chevy’s best friend today, Gene Jansen Chevrolet
He’s at 5400 Natural Bridge, Gene Jansen”.
