11 old school advertising jingles/slogans that are still stuck in our heads

It's amazing the kind of information your brain stores.

Advertising jingles and slogans were created to make brands and products desirable. The best, and worst, of them tend to get stuck in our heads forever.

Here's a challenge to see how well some advertising jingles have burrowed into your brains despite the years. Look at the brand names and try to recall the jingle/slogan in your head:

1. Pizza Hut

I consider this the most successful jingle in Singapore's history of TV commercials.

It wasn't only a memorable jingle, it made you remember a phone number for home deliveries. How great is that?

Pity the older version before there was a '6' added in front of the phone number doesn't seem to exist on YouTube.

 

2. UIC

3. Scott's Emulsion Cod Liver Oil

This was the commercial that kept on playing during the 3pm SBC TV drama reruns. Usually the first or last commercial of the commercial break.

 

4. Sovil Et Titus

As far as commercials go, this one was an epic.

 

5. Laughing Cow or La Vache Qui Rit

Sorry we couldn't find the version shown in Singapore. This is the closest we could get from Egypt.

6. Chicken tonight

7. Mentos

Yes, all problems can be solved with a fresh sugary breath.

 

8. Gillette

10. Myojo Instant Noodles

Bet you're going to tap your fingers on the table after this.

 

11. Paddle Pop
