ErikaRobin's Journal

Delusions of grandeur.

Pondering jingles. 

Yes, I was thinking of commercials and slogans and my brain wandered as it tends to do and it ended up here.  I know you like to get a ringside seat to the craziness, so I decided to share.

I've been stuck on Band-Aids ever since I was a Toys-R-Us kid eating hot dogs...Armor Hot Dogs.   I drank Pepsi before and after it became the Choice of a New Generation.  I've celebrated moments of my life with International Instant Coffees.  I filled it to the rim with Brim (of course I would've rather had Taster's Choice, especially if Rupert Giles was likely to show up at my door).   

My bologna had a first name.  I made things last a little longer with Big Red.  I soaked in it because Madge told me to.  When I spilled a drink, I reached for the quicker picker upper.  A sprinkle a day helped keep odor away!  I had it my way at Burger King. 

Now I'm tired and rambling.  I digress...but WAIT!

Speaking of jingles and the like, what made execs approve the Juicy Fruit song?

"...Take a sniff, pull it out.  The taste is gonna move ya when you POP it in your mouth... 

(That's pure pervy genius, right there.)

When I think of how simple some of those little song snippets were, I'm certain I have what it takes.  After all, it's probably so easy a caveman could do it.

See, that's what I mean, Jenna.  I could come up with THAT.  Where's the challenge?  It's like the "by Mennen" jingle.   LOL  Still...the point is to get it stuck in your head so you're passing them in the freezer section and you automatically reach for them as you sing "hot pockets".   Success!

You forgot about the short shorts.  Did you dare wear short shorts?  Pervs like you need Nair, you know.

You crack me up.  I was driving Bryan's car the other day and they way he has the seat I started cracking up.  I told him I felt like the 'Where's the beef' lady.  I had to read that out loud to share you brilliance with Bryan.
