One I remember, for all the wrong reasons, is the Watneys Red Barrel jingle.

Actually the only version I remember perfickly is the Real Ale Drinkers parody

" Whats the beer that makes you queer,
Watney's Keg Red Barrel,
It always is an awfull brew,
It always makes you want to spew,
So come along and join the crew,
Botcott Keg Red Barrel"

"The Milky Bar kid is tough and strong
The Milky Bar Kid just can't go wrong"

I just wonder how many children were deterred from buying Milky Bars because of the nerdy little bespectacled kid who starred in the ads?

As the whole point of the jingle is to make you remember both them and more importantly the product, I was wondering how many of them we still do remember and if they do make us buy the product.

In some cases I think they work so well, we often remember the jingle long after the product has ceased to exist. I wonder if there are many examples of this and also I wonder the reason why?

This still exists, well I know it does as Mrs Shanbles has just shown me the bottle she picked up today. This jingle works so well I wonder why they ever changed it?

1001 cleans a big big carpet, for less than half-a-crown.......for less than half-a-crown.

Well one reason is that there are no more half-a-crowns....
