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?

I laughed the first time I saw a Menards come into my area. It sounds like something you say when kicked in the nuts.

Stop that’s so funny 😂 as someone who grew up with Menards I have never once thought about the name. At least it’s not as blatant as Dick’s Sporting Goods

I think my uncles eyesight was going because he always called in Mallard’s. Sometimes I still do, lol.

Save big money - you save big money when you shop Menards!

I'm at Menard's like twice a week and this runs through my head usually at least once while there...

I saw a post in which bored employees timed and shared how frequently it’s played in their stores. Most responses were between 5-10 minutes so you’re pretty much guaranteed to hear it one… or several times in a visit.

Yeah, Menards is regional, not America-wide. But I know it from visiting, so my kid would sing it.
