*And you **know *who you are-are-are-are. :smack:
I forget the name of the dry cleaning/carpet cleaning establishment (Boston):
“How do yo keep your carpets neat…cal ANdrew 8-8000…how many cookies did Andrew eat…Andrew ate eight thousand”.
“Silo is having a sale!” “A what?” " A sale!"
For Florida Dopers…does “Tire Kingdom” still have that guy who tells you how he’s gonna die (unless he sells 5 million tires)?
Dispensa’s Castle of Toys, (It’s a castle!)
Dispensa’s Castle of Toys, (It’s a toy store!)
Dispensa’a Castle of Toys, (It’s toy-rific!)
Come to Dispensa’s Castle of Toys
Oakbrook Terrace, in Illinois!
Alas, I was also too old.
Ah yes, the glory days of “little cigars”, during the window when you could advertise them after cigarettes were taken off TV. Tijuana Smalls–Ride that aeromatic aeroplane! Should a gentleman offer a Tiparillo to his lady? New Back Woods Smoke–how can anything that looks so wild taste so mild? (With video of cowboy roping women in Manhattan.)
With Bernadette jumping on the back seat?
I could sing you jingles for the rest of the day without repeating myself. The first one I thought of was:
Extra value is what you get, when you buy Coronet
“A silly millimeter longer -
One-Oh-One!”
(101 Cigarettes)
“Small, teeny, tiny, itsy-bitsy, wee, small.
It’s teeny -
The new Bikini Comb”
“Bit-O-Peanut Butter
New sandwich candy bar.
Like Bit-O-Honey,
It goes real far!”
“Yummy, yummy
Digga, digga bowlful
You catchum big, big flavour
Oceans of energy!”
(Kellogg’s Puffa Puffa Rice, beginning at 0:30)
“New Country Corn Flakes
New Country Corn Flakes
They won’t wilt
When you pour on milk”
(Post Country Corn Flakes)
“Build 'em up and knock 'em down
You can build a wall with
Flintstone Building Boulders by Kenner.”
“If you don’t (I do!) like peanuts,
Don’t get new Kellogg’s triple Snack!
Triple Snack is right for me,
And I am right for Triple Snack!”
Mostly, though, I have old commercials for still-extant products:
“Happiness is
The taste of Kent!
More taste, fine tobacco
That’s what happiness is!”
“It’s got stars, diamonds, moons, rings, aeroplanes
And all kinds of crazy shapes!”
(Jets cereal - to the tune of The Stars and Stripes Forever)
“I’m glad I’m not an Oscar Meyer wiener
That is what I’d never want to be!
'Cause if I were an Oscar Meyer wiener,
Soon there would be nothing left of me!”
“Ay, ay, ay, ay
I am the Frito bandito!
I love Fritos corn chips
I love them, I do!
I love Fritos corn chips,
I take them from you!”
Dont cook tonite- call Chicken Delite!
Say the Magic words, say Mission Pak and it’s on its merry way! No gift so bright, so gay, so right, give the Mission Pak magic way!
You sent your relative oranges. Seriously.:eek: A regular box of California oranges. *And *it was a gift most appreciated by those in the northern climes.
Is “Ipana” toothpaste still made?
I looked this up earlier this week, and was surprised that Ipana, which I thought had disappeared in the early 1960s, was actually still beuing sold elsewhere in the world. It is still marketed in those places, including Canada. According to Wikipedia, it was re-introduced in the US in 2005, but I never saw it.
I remember Bucky Beaver and the “brusha-brusha” theme, but didn’t realize that Disney was responsible for the marketing, or that Jimmy Dodd (the #1 Mouseketeer, and author of many Mickey Mouse Club songs, and virtually running the MMC) not only wrote the Ipana song, but samng it.
Call Roto-Rooter,
that’s the name,
and away go troubles
down the drain!
Roto-Rooter!
You can take Salem out of the country
BUT
you can’t take the country out of Salem!
I remember the words, but not the associated jingle (I assume there was one, anyway.) What I remember better are BK commercials from the '60s:
“It takes two hands to handle a Whopper>”
“The bigger the burger, the better the burger.
The burgers are better at Burger King!”
I remember Ipana, but not the commercials for it. The main thing it brings to mind is that scene from Blast from the Past, where the girl and the other guy are searching Brendan Fraser’s hotel room for a clue as to where he might have gone.
Our local franchise still uses that jingle. Of course, whenever I hear it, I think, “Tired of the steady drip, drip, drip of gonorrhea?”
“Hey, Mister Tally-Man, tally me banana,
Bic Banana markers, you gotta get some!
Come in an 1-pack, 8-pack, 20-pack,
Bic Banana markers for the office or home!
We got a color for you!
Bic Banana markers, you gotta get some!”
Did Ford’s doomed “Edsel” model car ever have an advertising jingle? None of the books I have read about the Edsel debacle mentioned one.
Those cool singing cows … I wish this ad would surface online!
I know of Ipana only because they showed the Ipana beaver commercial in Grease.
Yes, I remember that commercial well, and can still hum the melody! If I recall, it showed actual clips of combat action in Vietnam, such as helicopter gunships and the like.
