_It’s not a cola,  
It’s something much much more.  
It’s not a root beer -  
there are root beers by the score.  
Drink Dr. Pepper,  
the joy of every boy and girl.  
It’s the most original  
soft drink ever  
in the  
whole  
wide  
world._

Nestles put out a white chocolate bar in the 80’s and had a hauntingly lovely jingle for it:

“Nestles makes the very best  
N E S T L E S  
A dream as sweet as this  
N E S T L E S  
Creamy white  
Dreamy white  
Nestles makes the very best  
N E S T L E S”

It played over images of an oddly beautiful woman in a flowing white dress on a big swing and then in a white fur coat looking longingly into the camera.

I actually recorded that one.

Once upon a time there was an engineer  
Choo Choo Charlie was his name, we hear.  
He had an engine and he sure had fun  
He used Good & Plenty candy to make his train run.  
Charlie says “Love my Good & Plenty!”  
Charlie says “Really rings my bell!”  
Charlie says “Love my Good & Plenty!”  
Don’t know any other candy that I love so

It’s just a tagline form a anti-drug program in the DC-MD area in the 70’s, but they would insert it into whatever dead air time they had as a PSA. I still remember the catch phrase.

New Genesis -" _Feeling Good About Me Now That I’m Drug Free._"
