Today we’re testing your knowledge of classic commercials with 16 snippets from TV’s most memorable. Times change and so do ad campaigns, but great jingles die hard. Oh, and apologies in advance if one of these babies gets stuck in your head for the rest of the day!
Take the Quiz: TV Jingles
Before even taking this quiz, all that popped into my head was that episode of The Office where Andy can’t remember the end of the Kit Kat jingle. “Break me off a piece of that…app-le-sauce!” :) Really glad that’s coming back next week.
Perhaps after I take the quiz, I’ll relate to his little advertising brain fart!

Either I’m old and watched too much TV in my youth, or this was too easy. Got ‘em all right!!

100% but for some reason I’m hungry for a burger and need to go drive my toyota to get some coffee and Trix while munching on a Hershey bar.
…and thats what she said! (great Office shout out Kate)

A 100 first for me too, but then TV watching is all us old folks did in the olden days. . . .

100%! I am too old, I did watch too much t.v. and I, too, can’t wait for The Office to return! Now if Lost would come back sooner…..

WOW! A first 100 for me as well. Those jingle writers knew what they were doing if the song gets stuck in your brain for that many years…….

I don’t remember most of these. If you are going to put toyota on it you have to put the one everyone remembers from childhood OH WHAT A FEELING! (lets all jump now!) not whatever you put.
Also what is Enjoli? Some perfume is my guess but does anyone remember this? How about CK one, for a man for a woman for a regular adult who remembers normal commercials not the obscure ones in this quiz.
