Possibly:
I clean without bucket
(You don’t use a bucket?)
I just use Fantastik,
It’s quick and it’s strong.
Tough grease, grime and good
Are no match for its power,
You spray it, you wipe it,
And pffft! dirt is gone.
Same.
It’s actually my earliest life memory. A surprisingly clear one when I saw it again as an adult.

I think it was “the chocolate cookie outside for last.”
I could sing these jingles before I was five years old:
I can recite this one from memory without missing a beat, and in the voice of the speaker himself (ca. 1969):
Isn’t this a great way to look? I’m Stan Herman of Mr Mort, and I designed it!
You know, perspiration stains can ruin this beautiful garment in just one day. So this year, I’m doing something I’ve never done before. I’m shipping this special tag with each dress.
Listen:
“Anti-perspirant spays do not always provide enough protection. We therefore recommend the use of Ban roll-on for extra protection against perspiration.”
It’s true: Ban keeps you drier longer than any leading spray!
If you love your clothes, use Ban!
It’s a toss up between Mr. Bubble
“Mr. Bubble in tub’ll get you squeeky clean
Mr. Bubble in the tubble where cleanin’ is the scene…”
And Fig Newtons
“Ooey gooey rich and chewy inside
Golden cakie tender flaky outside . . .”
I don’t want to quote the entire lyrics but I know 'em, and the choreography. I figure I can be the secret weapon should we ever need to flush terrorists out of a cave.
So this has been stuck in my head since 1980 or so:
That great Pepsi taste
Diet Pepsi won’t go to your waist!
Now you see it - now you don’t
Diet Pepsi
One small calorie
Now you see it - now you don’t!
Apocryphally, American soldiers once used baseball World Series winners as “passwords” to route out spies. English soldiers purportedly asked for pronunciations of weird place names like Worcestershire.
We do things differently in Canada - you need to know your Hinterland Who’s Who and Grecian Formula Commercials - Hey! Rocket! Two minute penalty for looking so good! - the weird cackle of the old dude on Rez wood stain commercials… (not really)
Nitpick: root out
Comedian Josh Sneed (in Fat Kids): “My son can bake a pizza in his room whenever he wants! It isn’t healthy! And it isn’t fair! I got a Snoopy Sno Cone machine! After four hours work you’d get half a Dixie cup filled with shaved ice. Big whoop!”
Soldier! If you’re Canadian, tell me which store had “$1.44 Day”!
A&N Boutique (a.k.a. Army & Navy)?
I can still recall and recite a commercial for Clark Gasoline from 1966 (?) where a carnival barker was telling people that it was only “one thin quarter” for a gallon of premium.
Gather round, gather round my good people and I’ll tell you the facts. Any car I mean car will drive better with Clark with a capital C and that rhymes with P and that means premium, for one thin quarter and that’s a fact that it’s only pennies more than regular. And if you don’t believe that my good people you should be riding a horse and buggy. Any car, I mean car will drive better with Clark with a capital C and that rhymes with and that means Power!
Perhaps the Big Mac ingredients:
“Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese…”
There’s a bit of a Mandela effect with the Life Cereal “Mikey” commercial.
Without looking it up, try to remember what the boys say just before they give the cereal to Mikey.
“Let’s get Mikey! _____________________”
What goes in the blank?
There was a thread about this some years back–I was quite surprised to see I was remembering it wrong all these years.
The cows and the sheep
And the birds and the horses
Were mooing and baaing
And whistling and neighing
Having lunch in the sun
While Hugo and I
Were having none
In the back seat
We sat, getting thinner
The rumblings cried
Give us Kentucky Fried
Time for dinner
So Dad stopped the car
And Hugo said you go
And I said no you go
And soon he was back
With the pack
And then Dad hit the track
So we ate in the back
Feeling better inside
A drive isn’t funny
With an empty tummy
Thank goodness for Kentucky Fried.
He wont try it, he hates everything.
Then, “He likes it . . . hey Mikey!”.
“How do you get shirts so clean, Mr. Lee?”
“Ancient Chinese secret!”
“My husband, some hotshot. Here’s his ancient Chinese secret – Calgon!”
I left a leetle grey. My wife like eet!
