All the jingles I know are from 1952-1962. Most people wouldn’t remember them. ---

With all the beer jingles here (and yes, I certainly remember the Hamms bear): _Here’s to good friends, tonight is kind of special… …tonight, let it be Lowenbrau!_ In addition, I remember every word of the Snoopy toothbrush jingle. I bust that out at work every once in a while. [Good grief, it’s fun to brush your teeth…](http://youtu.be/wtWEKQ54b04) ---

> [@missred](#): > > _Winston tastes good, like a cigarette should_ (Winston cigarettes) Back in the days when TV variety shows did live commercials, I remember seeing the debut of this commercial on the old Garry Moore show. They brought the guy who wrote the jingle out and he conducted a group of singers and the audience in a sing-along. The group did the song and the audience clapped at the right spot: Winston tastes good like a (clap,clap) cigarette should. Turns out he was a mute and couldn’t sing the jingle himself. ---

I seem to be the only one of my friends and family that remembers _Sprite makes better holidays, limon is the reason Sprite goes well so many ways to bring you cheer this se-ea-son!_ I can’t even listen to whatever Christmas song this jingle is set to without thinking of this jingle. ---

Don’t forget _HUdson three two seven hundreeeeeeeed!_ I have no idea what the company was or what they sold, but that is still burned into my brain thirty years after moving away from Chicago.

One that I always remember for inexplicable reasons is: Eight-O-O Three Two Five Three Five Three Five! I have no idea whose number that is but think it was a hotel chain, maybe Hilton. I remember it because it was one of the first 800 numbers. ---
