Never pick up a stranger, don’t put your car in danger. Now’s the time, the right time to change 'er. Pick up Prestone antifreeze. (With the great secret-agent type twangy guitar riff) See the USA in your Chevrolet, America is asking you to call. What are we having for lunch!? We’re having Beefaroni, it’s made with macaroni… Have a Lark, Have a Lark, have a Lark today… Have a peetz, have a peetz, have a Pizza Roll… At Beneficial, DOOT! DOOT! You’re good for more. My dog’s faster than your dog, my dog’s faster than yours. My dog’s faster 'cause he eats Ken-L-Ration, my dog’s faster than yours. (Whistle) Mabel! Black Label! And one for the Rhode Islanders: Hi, Neighbor! Have a 'Gansett. (On edit) Oh yeah, and I still partially remember the first McDonalds jingle, with its reference to “the greatest 15-cent hamburger yet.” ---

Does your shoe have a boy inside? What a funny place for a boy to hide! Does your shoe have a dog there, too? A boy and a dog and a foot in a shoe! Well, the boy is Buster Brown And the dog is Tige his friend And they’re really just a picture But it’s fun to play pretend So look, look, look in the telephone book For the store that sells the shoe With the picture of the boy and the dog inside That you can put your foot into!

Hey! I just noticed that Philliam’s post (#62) beat mine (#65) to commenting on Farfel’s jaw noise by 16 minutes. Granted, great minds think alike and what-have-you, but in this case the fact that we’re cousins (in-law) suggests woo synchronicity or something. ---

PSA against jaywalking Don’t cross the street in the middle in the middle In the middle in the middle in the middle of the block Don’t cross the street in the middle in the middle In the middle in the middle in the middle of the block Use your eyes to look up Use your ears to hear Walk up to the corner when the coast is clear And wait And wait Until you see the light turn green _I almost got hit by a hip-potamus!!_ Google tells me that They Might be Giants recorded this song many years later. ---

Assuming the SDMB exists in 2040s (I’m guessing there will always be ignorance to fight), perhaps she’ll post this as her jingle memory. Those who grew up in the Philadelphia region may also remember a [60’s jingle](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQFlkK9nYYs) that was used well into the 80’s (maybe the 90’s). _If you’ve got a passion for fashion!
