Old advertising jingles remembered

Not sure if it qualifies as a jingle but I also remember (in cold fury) the tag line at the end of the adverts for the Time Capsule in Coatbridge. An annoying brat in a rubber ring squeaking,

”it’s the biggest fun in a million years!”

Also, there was an advert for Capilano honey featuring a weirdly sexualised cartoon bee who finished her ditty with, “Capilano - don’t stop!”

Cadbury's Caramel launched with a sexy animated rabbit, and that was before Who Framed Roger Rabbit? came out. Some utter deviants working in animation.

Mind the late Eighties/early Nineties period when late-night TV was full of ads for 0898 phone chat lines that, worryingly, people must have used. The first one started the trend of being five seconds long and consisting of nothing but the phone number being repeated twice (OH-EIGHT-NINE-EIGHT-TWENNYWON! TWENNYWON! TWENNYWON!), which every other advert copied.

Except for the one about speaking to priests that you want to know, of course.
