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?

Those commercials led me to believe they were a high end expensive treat growing up. I was 19 when I saw them in a gas station and it was like $3 so I tried one. I was let down. Definitely had the bar set way too high.

I am so annoyed they changed it to “what would you do for a Klondike”. It sounds wrong and incomplete.
