TV Commercial Jingles from your childhood

[Ishbel]

Woops, sorry Ishbel, I forgot your Scottish not English.

That's OK - I know lots of foreigners think we're the same, but we're not!

 

[SierraCook]

Here are a few favorites of mine as a child.

• If if says Libby's, Libby's Libby's on the label label label, you'll like it like it like it on the table table table.

• Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't Peter Paul Almond Joy has nuts, Mounds don't because sometimes you feel like a nut and sometimes you don't.

• "Always After My Lucky Charms--They're Magically Delicious!!"

• A great 70's & 80's commercial Boy : Mr. Turtle ? How many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop ? Mr. Turtle : I don't know. Why don't you go ask Mr. Owl. Boy : Mr. Owl how many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootie pop ? Mr. Owl : Let's find out (unwraps it and licks it once) One ... (twice) Ta-whoooo [two] ... (bites into it) three... ahem... three. Narrator Guy : How many licks does it take to get the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop ? *crunch* The world may never know.

Anyone remember the "Honeycomb Hideout"?

 

[Barbara L]

Yes, I remember that. I wanted to try Honeycomb cereal so bad, and when I did, I hated it!

Barbara

 

[buckytom]

anyone remember:

Once upon a time there was an engineer
Choo Choo Charlie was his name, we hear.
He had an engine and he sure had fun
He used Good & Plenty candy to make his train run.
Charlie says "Love my Good & Plenty!"
Charlie says "Really rings my bell!"
Charlie says "Love my Good & Plenty!"
Don't know any other candy that I love so well!

 

[jkath]

Remember the cowboy commercial for Marathon Bar?

"you can't eat a marathon quick, (insert cowboy name)John"
"oh yeah? Watch me!"
- (takes a bit)
"oh milk chocolate...and caramel!"
"Nobody eats a marathon bar quick!"

 

[jkath]

"Hey! You got your chocolate in my peanut butter..."
"Well you got your peanut butter in my chocolate..."

I understand the kid skateboarding while eating a chocolate bar...
but who walks around on the street with an open jar of peanut butter?

 

[IcyMist]

I love Bosco, it's rich and chocolatey.
Chocolate-flavored Bosco is mighty good for me.
Mama puts it in my milk for extra energy.
Bosco gives me iron and sunshine Vitamin D.
Oh, I love Bosco, that's the drink for me.


My dog's faster than your dog, my dog's bigger than yours. My dog's better 'cause he gets Ken-L Ration. My dog's better than yours.


The neat new spaghetti you can eat with a spoon. Uh, oh, spaghettios. Neat round spaghetti that will stay on your spoon. Uh, oh, spaghettios

 

[CookinBlondie]

Gimme a break! Gimme a break! Break me off a piece of that Kit Kat Bar. If you ever need a taste that'll make your day, wherever you go, you'll here the people say!!! Gimme a break! Gimme a break! Break me off a piece of that KIT KAT BAR!

{I don't know if I got those lyrics right, but it should be pretty close. The real jingle is REALLY long. When I was in pre-school, all of the "school kids" (myself included) had a band and we sang this song. I played a guitar (plastic shovel), my friend cody played a guitar also (plastic baseball bat), John Michael played the drums (sand buckets), and Ben played the keyboard (picnic table). I was Reba! With a wig and cool earings! LoL. Those were the days. If I find the picture, I'll post it on here.}

Live! From the Happy Sunshine PreSchool....it's the Blondies!

Barbara

They were awful! Kind of like cardboard
and chalk with a bit of wet noodle added.

Honeycomb's Big
yeah yeah yeah
It's not small
No No No


That dumb song is stuck in my head!!!

 

[The Z]

I think Honeycomb is all right... but not as a breakfast cereal with milk on it. I like it right out of the box as a sweet(ish) snack .


.

 

[jkath]

Really?
I love kid cereals for a snack, especially at night. Out of the box, I'll take Lucky Charms (and make a pile of marshmallows to be eaten last), Reese's, or Life.

(If I'm having it with milk in a bowl as a snack, it's Frosted Flakes!)

Back to the jingles... (I think this is how it went)

Oh those Golden Grahams
Oh those Golden Grahams
Crispy, crunchy, graham cereal,
a brand new breakfast treat...

 

[The Z]

Mmmm... don't forget Cap'n Crunch as a snack - - It tears my mouth up a little, but it's worth it.

(I don't think it had a jingle)

ummm....

I don't know if it's been used yet, but:

"I'm a Chiquita banana and I'm here to say,
I am the top banana in the world today.
It is impossible to beat us.
We are the brand you ought to buy-eye"...

(or something like that)

 

[jkath]

Cap'n Crunch peanut butter!
