I think it was a local company and they probably don’t exist anymore but back in the 70’s (I think) they had a commercial jingle that went “air condition, air condition, air condition with Dick Mills!”. We had no idea how much it had invaded our brains until one day my mother said it looked like our dog had some sort of hair condition and my older sister and I, in unplanned unison, start singing “hair condition, hair condition, hair condition with Dick Mills!” We remembered that one for a long time after that. ---
