Old TV Jingles
It struck me today that there hasn't been much memorable lately, like
Trill makes budgies bounce with health
You're never alone with a Strand
People are changing to Guards
You wonder where the yellow went, when you brush your teeth with Pepsodent
Any oldies lodged in your brain?

The Esso sign means happy motoring, call at the Esso sign. (Sung by a "shower"(?) of petrol-drop people, accompanied by a jazz band.) Said petrol-drop people available as keyrings also. Very successful ad campaign circa 19brainfade!
