Jingles
For the older members.
I was talking to my daughter about the advertising jingles that used to be on ITV in the late 50s, all with catchy tunes, and I was surprised how many I remembered very well. Here's a few.
Esso: O-o-o-h the Esso sign means happy motoring and Boom boom boom boom, Esso Blue.
Murray Mints: Too-good-to-hurry mints
Magic Margarine: Try a little bread and Magic
Pepsodent toothpaste: You'll wonder where the yellow went
MacLean's toothpaste: Did you MacLean your teeth today? Did you? I did.
Hoover: Beats as it sweeps as it cleans
Typhoo Tea: Better flavour, money saver, T-y-y-y-phoo!
Can you add to the list?

Re: Jingles
Thanks, some good ones there. I just remembered:
Omo adds brightness, brightness, brightness,
Omo adds brightness, brightness, women want - Omo
(Like - men never used a washing machine - well, no, they didn't)

Re: Jingles
Yes, I remember those - but they weren't jingles. It's the ones with tunes that everyone recognised and everyone sang that I'm after. There were dozens of them.
