Remember old advertising jingles?

Such as:

  • Say the magic words, say “Mission Pak”
    And it’s on its merry way;
    No gift so bright, so gay, so right,
    It’s the Mission Pak magic way.
    To find your nearest Mission Pak store
    Call ADams 2-5984…Now! *
    or:
  • Call Roto-Rooter, that’s the name
    And away go troubles down the drain! *

Just this morning I woke up with Bucky Beaver singing in my mind “Brush-a brush-a brush-a, get the new Ipana.”

Fill in the blank (all different):

I’ll fly to the moon for a ________.

Yo Ho Ho for an ______

You’re darn tootin’ I like __________.

What walks down stairs alone or in pairs and makes a slinkety sound
A spring a spring a marvelous thing
Everyone knows it’s slinky!

You’ll wonder where the yellow went,
When you brush your teeth with Pepsodent.

Brylcreem, a little dab’ll do ya.

There’s always room for Jello.

Nothing says lovin’ like something from the oven.

Plop Plop Fizz Fizz Oh what a relief it is.

My Baloney has a first name…

Fat Kids Skinny Kids Kids who climb on Rocks…

I’m so old, I even remember cigarette jingles!!!

“You can take __ out of the country, but
You can’t take the country out of __.”

“__ tastes good, like a cigarette should.”

Yum, yum, Bumblebee, Bumblebee Tuna
I love Bumblebee, Bumblebee Tuna…

You can put Salem into the ad - man’s but…

My all-time favorite:

Call Mister Plow,
that’s the name!
That name again
is Mister Plow!
:smiley:

I don’t know the first one, but I know the Roto-Rooter one.

How about…

Don’t cook tonight!
Call Chicken Delight!

Here’s the tank, it’s comin’ through!
Tiny Mighty Mo

How do you handle a hungry man?
The Manhandlers!

Which macaroni has the creamiest cheese?
Golden Grain Macaroni & Cheddar!

Yes!
Hughes Air West
Top Banana in the west!*

Here you go. (I love this one.)

Winston for the second one.

“You’ve come a long way, baby.” (Virginia Slims)

How about:
“LSMFT: ___________!”

“Call. . .for. . .____ _______!”

“Come up. . .come ALL the way up. . .to ____.”

“I’d walk a mile for a ____.”

Fig Newtons

I wouldn’t say the Roto Rooter one is “old” as it pops up again every now and then.

Of course, the cigarette jingles are old because advertising cigarettes on TV has been illegal for over 40 years. Here’s another one: “A Silly Millimeter Longer”

Benson & Hedges 100s, which were called 101s as they were 101mm long

Here’s a non-cigarette one: “See the USA in your Chevrolet” - a San Francisco area Chevrolet dealer personalized it (“See Ellis Brooks today for your Chevrolet, corner of Bush and Van Ness” - IIRC, he offered five pounds of coffee if you could find a better deal).

Pepsi Cola hits the spot.
Twelve ounce bottles – that’s a lot.
Twice as much for a nickel, too
Pepsi Cola is the drink for you.

(An old radio jingle, when Pepsi was still a bargain brand).

Recently I was watching a youtube video of two guys playing a recent video game and for no reason one of them started singing “Get your skis shined up, grab a stick of Juicy Fruit” and it was like opening a floodgate of memories in my mind.

Ooh, I know this one: Yak dung! :wink:

You can trust your car to the man who wears the star,
For the finest products that can take care of your car,
At every Texaco station,
Clean across the nation,
You can trust your car to the man who wears the star,
The big, bright Texaco star!

Candy-coated popcorn, peanuts and a prize,
That’s what you get in Cracker Jacks!

Anybody from Detroit will know this one…

“You’re on the right track,
To Nine Mile and Mack.”

What do you call that kid who gives the ball a whack?
You call that kid a cracker jack!
