When Jason and I last did the show, he was amazed at how many old commercials and classic brand slogans were locked in my brain. I don't know why I retain this stuff... I just do. And once it's in, it's in for good. The one that started us off was "It's Nerf or Nothin'." You may remember it from ads like this:
But when searching that commercial out, I started thinking about some other ones that are floating around in my head. Like this one from Chuck E. Cheese (Formerly Showbiz Pizza for those of us from Indy). If you see me, and I'm not talking, this song is going through my head/ Especially any time someone says "nickels and dimes."
Of course if you want to talk about annoying commercial jingles, I don't know if any match this gem that you'll never, EVER, be able to get out of your head. I think the term "ear worm" was created just because of this ad:
And finally, here's one that I never would have thought about again, but when I saw it, it brought back so many memories. And it also made me realize how advertising has always been way too good at making me excited about mediocre products.
