« FYI son, in 10 years you'll hate me | Main | Crucial conversations »

This is a test.

Of where you grew up.

If I were to say to you: "Five eight eight, two three hundred..."

What is the word that comes to mind?

Isn't that jingle just burned in your brain? And the image of the cheesy cartoon dude who you later discovered was just a cartoon representation of an actual cheesy dude?

I'm also amused that wikipedia has an entry for the celozzi-ettleson dudes too. If it ain't on wikipedia, it didn't happen.

When Dinah started singing the end of that song, we were delighted. Maybe it was for the wrong reasons.

Well - actually the cartoon guy came LONG after the cheesy guy who was on for maybe decades. Interestingly, I think the company is nationwide now...

I know that jingle. I see and hear that commercial each day. But, try as I might, I cannot say what that commercial is trying to sell.

Hmm.
