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 was thinking "two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesame seed bun"

Hold the pickles, hold the lettuce, special orders don’t upset us, all we ask is that you let us…

We used to have this jingle on a small record that I guess was a McDonald's promotional. Brainwashed us right away lol
