[![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/xRKTXCRqRXQ/maxresdefault.jpg "Oscar Mayer My Bologna Has A First Name Song Classic TV Ad Commercial") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRKTXCRqRXQ) Are there other commercials that rely on spelling out the company or product name? (I’m not including the Mickey Mouse Club song because it isn’t a commercial.) ---
