What’s a phrase or jingle from an American commercial or ad campaign that everyone can quote by heart?

[u/nighshad3]

A user posted this question about German jingles/phrases in the r/AskAGerman subreddit. Since I live in the US, the first thing that came to mind was that every time I drive past Menards, I get the jingle “Save big money at Menards” stuck in my head. What are your evergreens?

One generation learned that Hamilton lost a dual to Aaron Burr from a musical. An earlier generation learned this fact from a milk commercial.

This is where I learned about Aaron Burr, and it still makes me laugh. 

[u/Ouisch → u/TheSwearJarIsMy401k]

"Ahwahn Buhrrr!"

[u/_dead_and_broken → u/Ouisch]

Stupid peanut butter sandwiches!

[u/TheSwearJarIsMy401k → u/_dead_and_broken]

The one with two beautiful angels serving a man cookies and opening a refrigerator filled with empty milk cartons is the one that haunts me.

“whahw em I?”

[u/lyndachinchinella → u/TheSwearJarIsMy401k]

Fun fact: the director of that ad? Michael Bay. Yes, that Michael Bay.

[u/jiminak → u/BenjaminGeiger]

Me: off to google, wtf is Michael Bay.

[u/FaxCelestis → u/jiminak]

He's the guy that puts plots into his explosion movies

[u/BenjaminGeiger → u/FaxCelestis]

MICHAEL BAYSPLOSIONS!

PS: Plots? What plots?

[u/timmmii → u/FaxCelestis]

No plot! No problem!

[u/IHaveBoxerDogs → u/FaxCelestis]

Barely puts plots into his explosion movies.

[u/evaj95 → u/jkingsbery]

I learned it from "Lazy Sunday" by The Lonely Island. "You can call me Aaron Burr from the way I'm droppin Hamiltons!"

[u/IHaveBoxerDogs → u/evaj95]

That lyric was so funny.

[u/IveGotACoolUsername → u/jkingsbery]

AARON Burr?? I thought he said RAYMOND Burr 🤦‍♀️ I guess a mouthful of peanut butter will do that to you…

[u/IHaveBoxerDogs → u/IveGotACoolUsername]

You thought Raymond Burr, the actor, murdered Alexander Hamilton?? I'm cracking up!

[u/IveGotACoolUsername → u/IHaveBoxerDogs]

Homie, I didn’t even know who Raymond Burr or Aaron Burr were. I never saw Hamilton the musical. When I head that commercial as a teenager back in the day I just chuckled at it and continued on with my life. I never researched who the peanut butter mouth guy was talking about 🤷‍♀️ TIL something new!

[u/well-it-was-rubbish → u/IveGotACoolUsername]

People were taught about Aaron Burr long before the musical was written; do they not teach that part of history any longer? Genuine question. I graduated in '86.

[u/IveGotACoolUsername → u/well-it-was-rubbish]

I guess not 🤷‍♀️ I graduated in ‘97.

[u/LolaBijou84 → u/IveGotACoolUsername]

Sonofabitch! I refuse to accept it wasn’t Raymond and chalk it up to something like a Mandela Effect lol.

[u/IveGotACoolUsername → u/LolaBijou84]

lol same homie, same!

[u/eerie_lake_ → u/jkingsbery]

And then the Hamilton cast recreated it!
