I like the commercials that feature jingles.

Here's two examples that I remember though I'm using the write-ups submitted by other folks on this website http://www.inthe80s.com/tvcommercials/index.shtml

"Alka Selzer
You work to hard, you ate too much, the cheesecake made you greedy. but your aching head and stomach ache, this message form [sic 'from']old SPEEDY!! ALKA SELZER, PLOP PLOP FIZZ FIZZ. Oh what a relief it is. PLOP PLOP FIZZ FIZZ. oh what a relief it is. watch as those alka selzer bubbles burst into action to relieve upset stomach and aching head fast, use only as directed. OH what a relief it is! WHAT A RELIEF!"

[imo "the pop pop fizz fizz oh what a relief it is" is a great line that provides instructions of how the tablet works- you "pop" it in some water, it fizzes, you drink it, and you get relief]

Kudos to whoever thought of that line!

"Shasta
Hot, very hot guy sitting on a beach with his shasta saying "I want a pop pop pop I want a Shasta". That was a great commercial, was it in the late 70's or early 80's?"

["Shasta" is {was?}a brand of 'soda pop', which imo made that "I wanna pop pop pop" line so creative in that the 'pop' could have a double meaning]

Does anyone else have any commercials they like that feature jingles?
