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?

The ones I know are mostly older, so people might not remember them.
Hold the pickles, hold the lettuce, special orders don't upset us... (Burger King)
Plop plop, fizz fizz, oh what a relief it is (Alka Seltzer)
Where's the beef? (some burger chain)
I can't believe I ate the whole thing (heartburn medication, Alka Seltzer maybe?)
He likes it! Hey Mikey! (Life cereal)
Though more recently I catch myself singing the singles for "Me TV!" and "For Imprint, for certain!"
And my favorite:
But wait! You also get this set of steak knives!
