What were the food jingles you heard growing up?
I remember from the 60’s: “Don’t cook tonight, call Chicken Delight!” and in the 70’s : The ringing of the bell for Taco Bell, the McDonald’s “…two all beef patties…” and Burger King’s "…have it your way… " and Rodney Allen Rippy in the Jack in the Box ads. Pizza jingles came later, but I can’t remember a one. I grew up on the west coast, the ads you remember my also be regional.

the first thing that came to mind was this regional commercial voiced by none other than Tom Carvel (not a jingle):
the ice cream was lousy in retrospect, but it had this crunchy ribbon in between layers that kids really loved.
and there’s the can sale at shop-rite

While this isn’t a jingle, I saw this ad yesterday for the first time and it really impressed me. Not only is it a great ad, the product looks delicious and the packaging is innovative
I knew of the “Sherry” name from NY’s famous “Sherry-Netherland Hotel”, but I didn’t know that Louis Sherry had made ice cream. Apparently they still make chocolates which seem to be quite pricey!

Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don’t. Almond Joy’s got nuts, Mounds don’t. Almond Joy’s got real milk chocolate, coconut, and crunchy nuts too (memory crashes)

I loved that little boy fishing singing the Oscar Mayer bologna song. And yes to both Carvel and Shop Rite’s Can Can sale!
For me, the Doublemint Gum commercials:
the early 1970s Coca Cola Commercial:
Rice-A-Roni with the San Francisco streetcars (although I remember this in color):

“everybody goes to Gino’s” for a Baltimore/DC hamburger chain…
“Dr Pepper is the friendly pepper-upper… “. Heard it often when I was visiting my southern grandparents.

I took a marketing class once, and that Alka Seltzer commercial was a case study showing a commercial that was very successful by many measures but was a resounding flop by the most important. A sizable percentage of people remembered the commercial in a marketing survey, but most of them thought it was for a pasta sauce!

A slogan not a jingle: Tuesday is Red’s Tamales Day! Both my parents would say that if anybody asked what day it was and it was Tuesday.
