A kid’ll
eat the middle
of an Oreo first,
and save the chocolate cookie outside
for last!
Ooh! Ooh! Teacher, I know that one! The Mission-pak commercial played in the LA area around Christmas, urging locals to send a pack of citrus fruit to friends and relatives as a holiday present with a certain neener-neener aspect to it. Look at what we grow here in Southern California! Aren’t you jealous? Don’t you wish you lived here? No, I’m not inviting you to leave Kalamazoo and move here. No, seriously, stay where you are! Whew! That was a close one!
“Tweet tweet, twiddle twiddle…there’s only one candy with the hole in the middle.” <-- Lifesavers
“When you eat your Smarties do you eat the red ones last?
Do you suck them very slowly, or crunch them very fast?
Eat that candy-coated chocolate and tell me when I ask…
When you eat your Smarties do you eat the red ones last!”
(Here in Canada “Smarties” are “candy-coated chocolate”, similar to M&Ms. What you guys in the US call Smarties (rolls of little sugar circles) we call Rockets.)
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!
Premium Saltines reclosable pack (it’s moistureproof!)
You open 'em up and you close 'em back.
No crackers to break up, they’re single-ly stacked
so they stay… crisp…
to the very last cracker.
In the commercial, the cracker pack opened up and the individual crackers came out and paraded around. Thinking back, this may have been stop-motion photography. It was not a cartoon.
Before the reclosable pack existed, a box of saltines contained crackers wrapped up but in large squares which could be broken into four pieces.
This was one of my favorite commercials as a kid. From back in the early 1960s, I think.
“Meet the Swinger
Polaroid Swinger
It’s more than a camera
It’s almost alive
It’s only nineteen dollars and 95
Swing it up - yeah yeah
It’s says yes - yeah yeah
Take the shot - yeah yeah
Count it down - yeah yeah
Rip it off”
I have no clue why I remember this so exactly. Probably because I got one for Christmas one year. lol
“Oh you need Fluff, Fluff, Fluff,
To make a Fluffernutter.
Marshmallow Fluff,
And lots of peanut butter.”
Molly Bee sang this for a car dealer:
- Stanley, Stanley, Stanley Chevrolet
Two blocks off the Santa Ana Freeway
One-One-Nine-Eight-Oh East Firestone
Stanley Chevrolet! * (two-note organ chords follow)
In a commercial aired during a radio coverage of a Dodger game, Vin Scully introduced a version of the song as performed by Don Drysdale and John Roseboro–“Two people whose singing careers are destined to go absolutely nowhere!” 
Get Wildroot Cream Oil, Charlie
It keeps your hair in trim.

You’ve got an uncle in the furniture business- Joshua Doore! Well, at least till they found him inside a trunk.
Be sociable, look smart

Drink light, refreshing Pepsi
Stay young, and fair, and debonaire
Be sociable, have a Pepsi
Or just go here for the whole thing.
My Baloney has a first name,
It’s O-S-C-A-R.
My Baloney has a second name,
It’s M-A-Y-E-R.
Oh I love to eat it everyday,
And if you ask me why say,

I’m Chika Banana
and I’ve come to say
bananas have to ripen in a certain way.
You can put them in a salad,
you can put them in a pie.
Anyway you want to eat them its impossible to beat them
But bananas like the climate of the very, very tropical equator,
so never put bananas in the refrigerator!/I]
“Chiquita”, not Chika.
They use that ad in the Grease movie.
Philadelphia/NJ region only. But catchy and played well into the 90’s:
If you’ve got a passion for fashion!
And you’ve got a craving for saving!
Take the wheel of your automobile,
and swing on down to I-Deal!
