The other day while Brady and I were watching TV, a commercial came on for Almond Joy and Mounds. During the commercial I started singing:
Sometimes you feel like a nut
Sometimes you don't
Almonds Joy's got nuts
Mounds don't.
Brady started to laugh and laugh. He'd never heard of this jingle.. It was a giggle fest.
Where did all the cute jingles go? Commercials these days are weird and some are just wrong. I'm not into all this shock value commercials they have now. I still don't understand or even like the Burger King "King" commercials - it gives me the heebee jeebees - I always wonder what the executives think... do they think we enjoy those commercials?? Weird!
Here is a throw back jingle for Almond Joy and Mounds - when commercials were good.
Beware.....when shared with the younger generation .... it may start a giggle fest! LOL!
The other day I saw a commercial with a man standing naked {his middle was blurred out} with goggles on. He apparently was standing in front of a wind tunnel testing thingy. The commercial was for Trojan! How stupid. It's only going to get worse and harder to protect our sweet kiddos.
ReplyDeleteI remember that commercial. Almond Joy is my fav candy bar... I'm with you on the Burger King ones...creepy !
ReplyDeleteBarry Manilow wrote a lot of cute jingles during his career...clever,catchy and CLEAN !
OK.. Even I remember the Almond Joy commercials... :)
ReplyDeleteIf companies were smart.. they would go back to jingles. I still can remember every word to:
Bandaids..
Rice A Roni
Almond Joy
Oscar Meyer Balogna
And like Nonna said ^ I'm pretty sure Manilow wrote most of them..
Loved watching it again! That jingle pops in my head whenever I see an Almond Joy.
ReplyDeleteI am shocked at the commercial Scrappy Girl described! Good grief!
I often sing old that jingle when I see an Almond Joy so my kids know it. They do think it's pretty silly though. I agree with you about the stupid, bad commercials these days and it's sad how many you have to quickly turn because of their content or innuendo.
ReplyDeletei was singing that in my head at the gym yesterday when the jingle came on...not it does not have the words with the commercial...just the music!
