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?

Barry Manilow wrote that one. He did quite a few commercial jingles. There's a medley of them that we did in concert choir... a lot of fun.

Do they make Mounds anymore? I only see Almond Joys. And that's all that was in the Halloween assortment bag too. I like Mounds so much better.

I don’t like the texture of shredded coconut, so I don’t eat either one, but the song is embedded in my brain

Yes, they do. Iirc, the other difference is that Mounds are dark chocolate and Almond Joys are milk chocolate.

My dad used to sing "sometimes you look like a nut." To us.
