Thread Name: Chock Full Of Nuts Commercial Song
Subject: Chock Full Of Nuts Commercial Song
I am sure that many of you are familiar with the commercial jingle for Chock Full Of Nuts coffee.

Chock Full Of Nuts is the heavenly coffee
Heavenly coffee, heavenly coffee
Chock Full Of Nuts is the heavenly coffee
Better coffee a millionaire's money can't buy

Years ago, the last line used to be sung
"Better coffee Rockefeller's money can't buy"

My question is: Why did they change these lyrics in the last line? Did the Rockefeller family threaten to sue Chock Full Of Nuts for using the family name without license? Is anyone familiar with the circumstances of this commercial as to why the change was made?
