McDonalds makes McBurgers, McDonalds makes McFries,
McDonalds makes McWonderful shakes for kids of every size.
So wherever you go, whatever you do, we’re different from all the rest.
Let’s go to McDonalds, it’s the place we love McBest.

He never asks for seconds of my coffee…

Come to where the flavor is, come to Marlboro Country.

My girls know the 770-4-SPARKY song for Mr Sparky electricians. It seems to me that most of the jingles they know are a company’s phone number. More jingles on the radio than TV, I think.

I have to say, despite my general disdain for the Golden Arches, that “I’m lovin’ it!” is McDonald’s greatest ad campaign in as long as I can remember.

And on a third hand… I’ve never been one to try to shelter my girls from bad influences too much – I think in today’s world, Marketing, Violence, and Profanity are so pervasive that it’s better to confront them head-on. I love to ask my daughters what they think a commercial is trying to tell them. It’s fun to watch them dissect the commercial and figure out what they’re being programmed to believe…

More classics:
“If it tastes like butter, but it’s not, it’s Chiffon!”
“Baseball, hot dogs, apple pie, and Cheverolet”
“Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don’t” (Almond Joy and Mounds)
“No single gum double-freshens your breath like Double Mint, Double Mint Gum.”

I’ll probably think of a dozen more after I post this.

About the only modern jingle I can think of right now is that horrible one for Pepto Bismol. But who the heck wants to sing a tune that has the word “diarrhea” in it?

How can you forget the Oscar Mayer theme, “my bologna has a first name…”?

Some slogans I recall…
“That’s a spicy meat-a-ball!”
“I’d walk a mile for a camel”.
“Sorry rabbit, trix are for kids”
“Sorry Charlie” (the other tuna one)
“Let’s get Mikey to eat it, he’ll eat anything”

Amazing how these get ingrained into our consciousness, and no matter how hard I whack myself in the head they won’t GO AWAY.

Whack. Whack Whack.
