In NE Ohio we have:
Garfield 1 2-3-2-3
Which is the old old old telephone number for [looks it up…] The Home Corporation which does…[looks it up…] “Home Improvements.”
[/QUOTE]
Apparently its old name, the Aluminum Siding Corporation, was seen as too limiting. The pitchman I remember from the days of my youth in suburban Cleveland was Jimmy Dudley, who had previously been the radio voice of the Indians’ baseball broadcasts. “Call now, y’hear?”

Like Hoopy Frood, I remember Crispy Critters. But all I can recall is “The one and only cer-e-al that comes in the shape of an-i-mals.”

And here, courtesy of YouTube, is one of the commercials for said product.

My beer is Rheingold the dry beer. Think of Rheingold whenever you buy beer. It’s not bitter, not sweet, it’s the extra dry treat, won’t you try extra dry Rheingold beer?

Schaefer Pale Dry is its handle

Our hand has never lost its skill*
Last line sung in an odd, hurried rhythm so it sounded like “A hand has never lost a spill.”
How about?
“Don’t cook tonight . . .
. . . call Chicken Delight”
A piece of overcooked chicken, some undercooked fries and a tiny tub of slaw on a paper plate, with another plate stapled over the top.
Don’t know what ever happened to them, but the local store disappeared when KFC moved into the neighborhood.
Olive
Call Roto-Rooter, that’s the name,
And away go troubles, down the drain.
A little late to the thread, but just found it. I can’t imagine why or how long these have been in my head:

Speaking of beers, here’s one I remember from the 70’s, Lowenbrau Beer:
Here’s to good friends,
Tonight is kind of special.
The beer we’ll pour
must say something more, somehow.
So tonight (tonight),
Tonight,
Let it be Löwenbräu (let it be Löwenbräu).
Then there’s also:
If there’s Libby’s Libby’s Libby’s
On the label label label
You will like it like it like it
On your table table table
Alka Seltzer, the jaunty:
Plop plop fizz fizz
Oh, what a relief it is!
Hamm’s beer:

DUM da dum dum DUM da dum dum
FROM the land of sky blue waters
Wa-aters
COMES the beer refreshing
HAMM’S the beer refreshing
I still remember as a kid the one from Johnny Carson when President Jimmy Carter’s brother Billy Carter got in trouble for (from Wikipedia) “In late 1978 and early 1979, Billy Carter visited Libya three times with a contingent from Georgia. He eventually registered as a foreign agent of the Libyan government and received a $220,000 loan. This led to a Senate hearing over alleged influence peddling which some in the press dubbed “Billygate.” A Senate sub-committee was called To Investigate Activities of Individuals Representing Interests of Foreign Governments (Billy Carter-Libya Investigation).”
“With Libya Libya Libya
on the label label label
means I like it like it like it
under the table table table.”
Amazing what sticks in the mind 30+ years later from when I was 8-9 years old.
LS/MFT! LS/MFT! Lucky Strike Means Fine Tobacco!

Light up a Lucky, it’s light up time, be happy go Lucky, it’s light up time! For the taste that you like, light up a Lucky Strike! Relax, it’s light up time…
A local auto dealer’s “jingle” consisted entirely of driving directions:
“Pete Ellis Dodge, Long Beach Freeway, Firestone Exit, South Gate.
Pete Ellis Doge, Long Beach Freeway, Firestone Exit, South Gate.”
Pete Ellis Dodge has been gone for decades, but I can still drive to where it used to be.
FROM the land of sky-blue waters

There’s some impediment to dialing 421-2323, all of the sudden? Or do you just mean that many people don’t know how the mnemonic conventions for telephone exchanges work these days? 
When they added “crazy shapes” to Alpha-Bits cereal, they had a commercial with a jingle sung to the tune of “The Stars and Stripes Forever,” something like:
This may have been only in the NY/NJ/CT area, but does anyone remember the “Great Bear” radio jingle?
I cant remember all of it,except for…
Gotta fix those brakes. Drive a little slower say a little prayer (cant recall words here) til you get to great bear.
Rickel helps you do it better
Do it better at Rickel
Rickel was a home improvement store in the pre Home Depot days.
Well, look what emerged from the crypt - and with another allusion to Dorman’s Endeco Cheese.
I did a Google search for “zombie” and “cheese” and came up with this site.
The results are rather…disturbing. 
Jeno’s Pizza Rolls were too damned hot because nobody (and I’m looking at my SIL) took the “ten minutes” seriously. Larks blew, but I’d like one right now.
