John Hindsill - thanks, I really needed to get the Dr. Ross jingle stuck in my head. Haven't thought of that one in years.

Another local West coast jingle (pre-1955) was

Old Tap Lager
Old Tap Lager
East Side old Tap Lager Beer

had a sort of jovial, polka melody

I seem to recall that the ABC Brewery had a jingle too, but can't remember it (thank you Whoever!)

there was also something around the same time in LA about soda pop in cans with bottle caps that went in part

... no return and no deposit
No more empties in the closet
Get your Super (?) Soft Drinks
They're in snap top cans.

Around 1970 all us expats in Oslo could be guaranteed to get teary eyed and maudlin by singing rousing choruses of the Oreo song (five or six pints of Ringnes or Schous helped)

Little girls
Have pretty curls
But I like OR E O
Oreo's the best because
It's the very best cookie ever was

Girls are nice
but boy what ice
ing comes with OR E O
mmm mmm
Oreo, Oreo
OR E O

Oh well, all gone!

Me too.
