I was born in 1982 so I am fortunate to remember some of the magical decade that was the 80s.
What’s funny is what I remember isn’t the bad hair, stonewashed jeans, or ABC After School Specials… what I remember are the commercial jingles.
I was having dinner with some friends and one of them randomly had a whatchamacallit bar in her purse. I INSTANTLY thought of the jingle, “chewy-chocalately-crunchy-munchy.” And thanks to the wonders of YouTube, I was able to relive a moment of my childhood all over again…
Which then led to a trip down memory lane…
If there’s one thing the 80s did right, it was commercial jingles. And how crazy that 27-odd years later I’d still remember them?
Come to think of it, I can remember a ton of random songs and jingles from when I was a kid.
Why and when did we stop learning things through music?
And what happened to commercial jingles?
Seems like they were effective to me.
I digress.
So what was your favorite 80s commercial?
(For the record: If you need someone to sing you the names of the 50 states, presidents, books of the Bible, or all of the prepositions… I’m your man.)
