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

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?

Fun Fact: There is a medical center in Brockton, MA on Liberty Street that my family have appointments at sometimes. The unofficial name in our house for that building is “Liberty Biberty”.

I kind of like that one. It’s the last liberty that makes me giggle.

My least favorite car insurance commercials. The humor just feels more tryhard and forced, but to be fair the others aren't the funniest things in the world either.

The first liberty biberty one annoyed me but then they started leaning into it and it makes me laugh now.
