big mac ingredients and how to spell bologna

Ah, the jingle—a tiny burst of melody that sneaks into your brain and refuses to leave. Commercial jingles aren’t just ads; they’re cultural earworms that have shaped our memories and boosted sales. In an era dominated by sleek digital ads and influencer shoutouts, these simple, singable hooks remind us of the golden age of advertising.

My parent’s grocery store didn’t have a jingle, but with prices advertised in the newspaper in 1968, they didn’t need one. 😉

How many products can you identify by the words of their jingle?

(These will all be easy since I know them.)

1. Plop. Plop. Fizz. Fizz. Oh what a relief it is.
2. Like a Good Neighbor, __________ is there.
3. Gimme a Break … Break Me Off a Piece of That __________.
4. I Don’t Wanna Grow Up, I’m a ____________ kid.
5. Snap! Crackle! Pop!
6. They’re Magically Delicious!”
7. The Best Part of Waking Up Is __________.
8. What Would You Do-oooo for a ___________.
9. ___________ is on your side.
10. “Ba-da-ba-ba-baaa … I’m Lovin’ It”
11. Double your pleasure. Double your fun.
12. I am stuck on ____________, and _________ stuck on me.
13. 877 CASH NOW

With TikTok dances and AI-generated ads, you might think jingles are relics.

But they’re evolving—think Spotify playlists of brand anthems or user-generated remixes. They remind us that the simplest ideas, wrapped in a tune, can outlast trends. Next time a jingle pops into your head, don’t fight it: Let it play. It’s not just a song; it’s a time machine to simpler, snappier sales pitches.

So in closing — sing this jingle to the tune of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star:

🎶 McKain’s Market — right down the street,
Good price, good folks, can’t be beat!
From sunrise snacks to supper time,
McKain’s Market — your hometown find!
Bakers bake, butchers carve it—
McKain’s, where your wallet’s heart is! 🎼
