NOTE: I just wanted to pass on some advice to people considering
purchasing a computer through mail-order. Do NOT buy one from
Royal Computer Inc out of City of Industry, CA. I recently did
and had an awful experience. I tried numerous times to get in
touch with them regarding my faulty computer and didn't get a
response until we sent an email stating that we were considering
contacting an attorney. I just wanted to pass this information on
so nobody else would have to deal with the same mess we've dealt with.

"Push Backs"? Yup, that's what they are called in our house, - the
left overs. The longer you have them, the further they get pushed back.
Gotta' date them for safety !!!

"Why, I'm so hungry, I could eat a wagon wheel !"

Yeah... I remember that one :)

Back to the topic though... Slogans...
I seem to remember "The incredible, edible egg" stickin' in my head
a few times.

And who could ever forget " It's Shake and Bake... and I helped !" ;)

But, I guess my favorite was always "it's finger lickin good".


Newbie here. Fire at will.
I'm used to it by now.

Wasn't that a watch dressed as a cowboy instead of a piece of cheese. I
thought he always came out and said "Time for Timer!"

BTW, while we're having flashbacks, my favorite slogan comes from the old
commercials "I can't believe I ate the whole thing"

Re: brussel sprouts
1)Take them out of your freezer and wipe the dust off the bag
2) place them in boiling water to soften
3) at this point mash them up and put lemon
juice all over
4) Put them in your toilet and flush
5) the lemon cleans your drains and the brussell sprouts you didn't mean
to buy are gone.

Three stand out in my mind and, at the risk of dating myself, I'll post all
three.

1. "The incredible, edible egg." (1980s)
2. "Two all beef patties special sauce lettuce
cheese pickles onions on a sesame seed
bun." (1970s)
3. A ditty from a television advertisement for
Hellman's mayonnaise:

"If you want to bring out the flavor,
and bring out the zest,
then bring out the Hellman's
and bring out the best!" (late 1960s)

"The New, Ubiquitous Comestible...

Boy, the MadAv suits and the crypto-

trusses out on that tune. To wit:

N ew
U biquitous
C omestible
O ver
A ll

I parroted that ditty until my folks
took to moving the car when I went
to the Drive-In's snack bar.

WW II butter prices were around
US$1.00/# with rationing. The
NUCOA Butter Company began making
oh-so-healthful coconut-oil margarine
which sold for .60/#. Because of
the powerful Dairy Lobby, it could
not have a buttery appearance, so
you had to mix in the colouring
at home.

NUCOA Butter + Gold Medal Mayo
merged to form Best Foods.

Sad but true- must've been about 4 years ago I was in traffic
Court (as Counsel, doggone it, not as a defendant) and a gentleman who had
been charged with DWI was before the Judge, pro se. He made quite a
fashion statement wearing a t-shirt bearing the logo of a local
restaurant- "Beer- It's Not Just For Breakfast Anymore". Her Honor was
neither amused nor impressed, but I found it funny as hell (in a sick and
twisted way). One of the bailiffs suggested to him after the finding of
guilty that perhaps he should have worn "Oh I'm glad to be an Oscar Mayer
weiner" instead.

Growing up in Wisconsin, I heard the following jingle so many
times on the radio/TV that I still remember it 20-some-odd-years
later. Don't know if they still make this product anymore. It's for
something called Hamdingers, which I believe is/was tantamount to
Spam. It went:

"Hamdingers, hamdingers, ham patties made from ham.
Hamdingers, ham patties, just heat them up in a frying pan."

I'd make a .wav of me singing it, but I ain't got the prettiest
voice around.

A friend of mine taught some basic computer classes at the local
community college. There were some people she just couldn't get
to understand the double-click on the mouse. She relented and finally
used a trick someone had told her about ...

Double-click! Like "Pizza Pizza!"

from the Little Caesar's commercials. Made me laugh.

That reminds of a cheese commercial just around the Christmas where
parents and a little girl run downstairs and find room overflowing with
gifts.
Das says something along the line: Wow, that must be some cookies you
left for Santa
And the little girl replies in a very confident voice: I didn't leave
cookies, I left him cheese.

Did you see the one that shows a dog training a man to flip cheese off
the bridge of his nose and then catch it in his mouth? The man is
successful performing the trick and the dog says approvingly, "Goooooood
boy." Hysterical.

I think the cheese industry is running a campaign with the slogan "Behold
the power of cheese."

As for slogans, I used to like the song from the C&H sugar commercials:

"C&H pure cane sugar
From Hawaii, growing in the sun.
C&H pure cane sugar
That's the one."

Also the song that went:

"Summer, summer fruits, it wouldn't be summer without them,

Just thought of this one...

"Plop Plop Fizz Fizz, Oh What a Relief it is!"

and can someone remember the rest of this? I have the jingle on my mind and
can't remember the words...

"When you say Bud..da da da da da da da da...etc." The King of beers one?

maybe someone mentioned this one already--

"Oh I wish I were an Oscar Meyer weiner,
That is what I'd truly like to be,
and if I were an Oscar Meyer weiner,
Everyone would be in love with me."

how 'bout
"RRRRuffles Have RRRRidges!"

I don't know if this really had a jingle with it --

The ad where they poured, was it 7-Up verrrrry slowwwwly into a glass and it
never filled the glass...I remember lots of ice and bubbles and something
about "Pure Refreshment"?

I'd like to teach the World to sing, in perfect harmony,

starting the song and ending with a BUNCH of people singing on a hillside?

A college news paper the monday or tuesday after the Superbowl where this
was shown prominently had a picture of two of the three little pigs. One
with a plate in front of him was saying "It's those Pork... the other white
meat comercials, I'm so succeptible to advertising."

I personally liked those Cheese Whiz comercials because they make it look
so edible.

I think the beef and pork councils are missing out on this one. It
just screams for parody adds:

Pigs with signs that say "Beef, It's what's for dinner."
Chickens with signs that say " Pork, the other white meat"
They could really run with it.

It's not food, it is Alleve, "All night strong, all night long". I
giggle every time I hear it.

The food commercial I detest, is for orange juice. There are two small
children sucking orange juice from a straw, and it sounds as if the
container is empty - I find this noise to be irritating. I think it's
Tropicana, but I am not sure, because I would leap across a burning
building to change the channel. Why are commercials becoming so
irritating? Car horns honking and beeper noises, ringing door bells and
people crunching on apples, etc. I suppose getting your attention, even
if it's negative, is the object.

Lately, there has been a commercial featuring a man dressed in all
black, he says he is "Pain". In the latest ads, he says, "I hear I am
scaring some of you people...". No, he doesn't scare me, he annoys
me!

The commercial that galvenizes me to disrupt the cat and jump over the
dog to get to the remote is one where a guy yells about furniture and,
at the end, yells Nationwide Warehouse! Nationwide Warehouse!!!!
Naaatioonwiiiiide Waaarehoussssse!

The ringing phones and doorbells ... grrrrr!

Someone said this before ... what's that spread? Brumley and Brown?
Ugh. But, for some reason, the opening announce on the Rosie O'Donnell
show annoys the living crap out of me and I can't change the channel
fast enough.

A commercial that just cracked me up was one of those ... Maxwell House
coffee bean commercials? Where the coffee bean talks? At the end, when
he says, and your chipped beef broccoli ice cream? Yummy! and rolls on
it's "back" slayed me every time.

The one I detest the most (newly promoted above those idiotic Herbal Essence

be D.D.S. (dick dysfunction syndrome), until the dentists objected.

The one I hate was I think a Manitoba-only commercial. It's actually for
Domo gas stations but they had a promotion where they gave away a chunk of
kielbasa (pronounced 'koobasa' in the commercials) sausage with every fill
up. This really annoying announcer/TV personality (can't remember his
name--Stan something?) would say, "Koobasa in a glass. Koobasa in a
whatever. . ." and they would show the kielbasa in the various places. It
was very, very stupid.

Nice to know I'm not the only one who is annoyed by those Welches
commercials. I wonder what the add execs were thinking? That we
would find the child so endearing we would buy cases and cases of the
juice?
