Hi, etapooh!

Let Hertz put you in the driver's seat.

We're number 2, we try harder! (Avis)

Try it, you'll like it!

That's a speecy meetsaball!

I think I ate the whoooooole thing.

Plop, plop! Fizz, fizz! Oh, what a relief it is!

(last 4 all Alka-Seltzer, must be more)

Double your pleasure, double your fun, with Doublemint, Doublemint, Doublemint gum.

The king of beers. (Budweiser)

The Teaberry Shuffle. (this was actually a physical dance bit they had the whole nation doing over chewing gum...cute. )

Once in the morning does it! (Scope mouthwash)

How do you handle a hungry man?...the man handlers! (Campbell's Chunky Soup)

I love you, man!

Yes I did!

What'suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup!!???

Don't squeeze the Charmin! (prolly one of the all-time best)

Baseball and Ballentine, baseball and Ballentine, it's a combination you can't beat! (There he goes! he's out!) Baseabll and Ballentine, baseball and Ballentine...it's a new sensation, all across the nation...Baseball and Ballentine beer!

Brylcreem, a little dab'll do ya!

I love New York! Faldage, AnnaS, ot...shame, shame for missing this one

See the USA in your Chevrolet!

Sorry, Charlie! (Starkist tuna)

Is Castro convertible? (Castro furniture, primarily fold-out couches)

And my vote for the all-time best promo slogan since it instantly became a part of the language:

"I just won the Super Bowl, and now I'm going to Disney World!

(and how 'bout campaign slogans , since they're strictly "Madison Avenue" as well?)

Nixon

Nixon's the one!
Now more than ever.

George McGovern

Come home America.

LBJ

All the way with LBJ.

Soooo...what's the correction, please?

And I think the Doublemint jingle was "...with double good, double good, Doublemint gum."

And, the, of course, there were the at-one-time-ubiquitous cigarette ads:

Come to where the flavor is, come to Marlboro Country.
Winston tastes good like a cigarette should.
Come all the way up to Kool.
You've come a long way, baby! (Virginia Slims, marketing to the then-new feminist contingent)
Call for Philllllllip Morrrrrrrrris!
I'd walk a mile for a Camel! (George Carlin used to joke that this one "sounds a little kinky to me." )
A silly millimeter longer! (the first 101 cig, Benson & hedges I think)
Salem...the taste of Springtime!
And, IMO, the alltime winner:

I'd rather fight than switch! (Tarryton...with all the Tarryton smokers pictured with a black eye. This was the brand I started on at the advanced age of 12 1/2...must've been the ads, I guess)

Food:

Everybody doesn't like something, but nobody doesn't like Sarah Lee!

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

Good to the last drop. [Maxwell House Coffee]
Chock Full'O'Nuts is that heavenly coffee.
Alexé Jenté [sp consuelo?]

Rice'A'Roni, the San Francisco treat!

Toys:

Jumpin' Jiminey! It's by Eminee!

(Take it, Faldo!...)

My bologna has a first name,
its O-S-C-A-R
My bologna has a second name,
its M-E-Y-E-R
I love to have it every day,
because Oscar Meyer has a way
With B-O-L-O-G-N-A!

--- - - - - - - - - - - - - --
and another commercial song..

Does your shoe have a boy inside?
Does it have a dog there too?
Well the boy is Buster Brown,
and the dog is Tige his friend,
and they are really just a picture,
but its fun to play pretend.

So look, look, look
in your telephone book
for a store that sells a shoe,
with picture of a A boy and dog inside,
and foot in side a shoe!

(this might be missing a line or two... but its close)

Hi, etapooh!

howdy, wonny-kins!

now most of these I recognize! only a couple were unfamiliar:
the Ballentine Beer(I know the beer, just not the ad), and Castro furniture(local brand?)
oh, and the Alexe thing and Jumpin' Jiminy. more local?

for campaign slogans how about:

I like Ike. (before my time, but I still know it)
