50's Ipana toothpaste had Bucky the Beaver singing: "Brusha, Brusha, Brusha, with the new Ipana, Brusha, Brusha, Brusha, with the new Ipana..." can't remember the rest The DoubleMint twins jingle began: "Double your pleasure, double your fun..." Toni Shampoo slogan "Which twin has the Toni?" led to a lot of double entendre jokes. Carling Black Label had a jingle that went "Hey Mabel, Another Black Label" or something like that. This was more often sung as a parody which went "Mabel, Get off the table, the dime is for the beer." In the forties there was the bell-hop in the hotel lobby who shouted out "Call for Phillp Morris!!". Also back then Buster Brown shoes had this ditty: I'm Buster Brown, I live in a shoe. That's my dog Tye, He lives there too. And who could ever forget the obnoxious kid who repeatedly whined out: "More Park Sausages Mom!!"? BTW, the Serutan ad went: Serutan is Natures spelled backwards, not the way you have quoted it. In NYC Piel's Beer had a cartoon pair called Harry and Bert Piel, but I don't remember any jingle. Maybe someone else...? Castro Convertible Sofas also had a jingle in the 50's that escapes my memory.
