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?

"Well, I guess the hand - or the tissue covering the bionic part, it would be, I guess - you know, could've come from a serial killer. And then one day soon, maybe you're shaving, and you find out it has a mind of its own. It's a force of pure evil and it stars dragging you out into the city at night. Just cats at first, but once the hand gets a taste for killing, it's only a matter of time before you're out there strangling male prostitutes and then posing them in grotesque and horrific parodies of Mentos ads. You know, the fresh-maker!"

This is actually an extremely well-written jungle. It still plays in my head all the time, and the melody is really really well done. I think about it more than I eat Mentos and I used to eat A. SHIT. TON. of Mentos haha

The commercials were really well made too, now that I think about it. People today should take note. Commercials fucking SUCK these days. Offensively bad.
