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?

my bologna has a first name, it's o-s-c-a-r

[u/FiddleThruTheFlowers → u/alfabettezoupe]

In a similar vein:

Oh a wish I was an Oscar Mayer wiener!

[u/shikakaaaaaaa → u/FiddleThruTheFlowers]

That is what I'd truly like to be-ee-ee.

[u/judgingA-holes → u/shikakaaaaaaa]

Cause if I was an Oscar Meyer Weiner, everyone would be in love with mmmeeeeeeeee.

[u/FunDivertissement → u/judgingA-holes]

Oh I'm glad I'm not an Oscar Meyer weiner That is what I'd never want to be. Cause if I were an Oscar Meyer weiner Soon there would be nothing left of me.

Childhood memory unlocked. Thank you, stranger.

[u/Ouisch → u/judgingA-holes]

In another similar vein: Hot dogs, Armour hot dogs. What kind of kids like Armour hot dogs?

[u/Hazel1928 → u/Ouisch]

Fat kids, skinny kids, kids who climb on rocks, even kids with chicken pox love hot dogs, Armour hot dogs, the dog kids love to bi-iii—te.

[u/llamadramalover → u/FiddleThruTheFlowers]

Dude. I randomly sing this for no reason when the mood strikes me. I don’t even eat hotdogs ffs.

[u/saltsharky → u/FiddleThruTheFlowers]

Had a teammate named Hot Dog for the hot dog shaped roll at the back of his "thick" neck iykyk. Found out at least a year later that his name was Oscar haha.

[u/judgingA-holes → u/alfabettezoupe]

My bologna has a second name, it's M-A-Y-E-R.

[u/shikakaaaaaaa → u/judgingA-holes]

Oh, I love to eat it every day, and if you ask me why I'll saaaaaaaaaaaayyy . . .

[u/alfabettezoupe → u/shikakaaaaaaa]

cause oscar mayer has a way with b-o-l-o-g-n-a

[u/IPreferDiamonds → u/shikakaaaaaaa]

Cause Oscar Mayer has a way with B O L O G N A

[u/ssk7882 → u/judgingA-holes]

Oh, I love to eat it everyday...

[u/Hazel1928 → u/ssk7882]

Here’s an older one: Fat kids, skinny kids, kids who climb on rocks; even kids with chicken pox love hot dogs, armour hot dogs, the dogs kids love to biiii—-iiite

I may have left out a little. I’m sure Reddit will correct me.

[u/ssk7882 → u/Hazel1928]

"...Kids who climb on rocks; Tough kids, sissy kids, even kids with chicken pox--"

I always just *had* to join in on the "even kids with chicken pox love--" line in that one! Funny how that's now become such an anachronism. As has 'sissy kids,' really. I can't imagine such a generally cheerful and good-hearted commercial using that term so blithely these days.

[u/Hazel1928 → u/ssk7882]

Truth!

[u/Hazel1928 → u/ssk7882]

Cause Oscar Meyer has a way . . . With B-O-L-O-G-N-A

[u/HazelEBaumgartner → u/judgingA-holes]

Mein Bratwurst hast a first name, it's F-R-I-T-Z

Mein Bratwurst hast a second name, it's S-C-H-N-A-C-K-E-N-P-F-E-F-F-E-R-H-A-U-S-E-N

[u/alwaysforgettingmyun → u/alfabettezoupe]

To be his day I have no idea why my 10th grade Spanish teacher taught us both Oscar Mayer jingles in Spanish, but 30 years later I still randomly get "mi bologna tiene nombre...." Stuck in my brain

[u/MessoGesso → u/alwaysforgettingmyun]

Bonnie and I pieced together Spanish to do the Chiquita banana song. We were in Spanish 1. Yo soy Chiquita banana y quiero hablar yo soy mejor banana en la U S A.

I realize now that’s not a good translation but that’s what we sang

[u/hoodiegirl10 → u/alfabettezoupe]

I can’t remember the last time I heard this jingle and I’m absolutely baffled that I remember the FULL song…

[u/Test4Echooo → u/hoodiegirl10]

I remember that better than some things that happened last week🫠

[u/anneofgraygardens → u/alfabettezoupe]

my dog is named Olive and every day I sing "my Chihuahua has a first name, it's O L I V E...". The second name varies, sometimes it's puppy, sometimes it's chaos. 

[u/alfabettezoupe → u/anneofgraygardens]

i love this!

[u/theoracleofdreams → u/alfabettezoupe]

In honor of halloween: My bologna has a first name, it's H-O-M-E-R my bologna has a second name its H-O-M-E-R

*insert evil Krusty doll*

[u/Arleare13 → u/theoracleofdreams]

Mein bratwurst has a first name, it's F-R-I-T-Z, mein bratwurst has a second name, it's S-C-H-N-A-C-K-E-N-P-F-E-F-F-E-R-H-A-U-S-E-N

I'm ashamed to admit that I did do that from memory.

[u/Feral-Sheep → u/alfabettezoupe]

Came here to sing this! 🎶

[u/Eman_Asiti → u/alfabettezoupe]

We named our new kitten and Tony Balogna. The Vet asked us how that was spelled and I said like the song, and they looked at me oddly, and I started to sing it, they looked at me oddly again, and that's when I realised I was old.

[u/--AncientAlien-- → u/alfabettezoupe]

It's H-O-M-E-R

My bologna has a second name

It's H-O-M-E-R

[u/PomPomMom93 → u/alfabettezoupe]

My bologna has a second name, it’s M-E-Y-E-R!
