Where Knowledge Junkies Get Their Fix
We know how much you like the soundbite quizzes, so we’re back with a new one for you. How well do you think you know the classic TV jingles? As always, we’d love to know how well you do.
Wow - a very cool blast from the past. I got ‘em all right, but I never aced the other quizzes. I guess the advertising worked!

I got 100 percent! Some of these were too “new” for me. I remember the Doublemint Twins for instance…

Way too easy! The only ones I wasn’t absolutely sure of were Toyota and Enjoli (whose jingle I remembered, but I had no recollecton of what product it was for). But I finally got them by the process of elimination. 100%!
I think it helped to be over 40 to get the older ones!

94%. Leave it to me to miss ONE on a matching quiz.

100%, just like the theme song quizzes. I would be proud, if it wasn’t for the burning sense of shame… All those wasted hours…

I got 75% which surprised me because I had no clue at all for several of them, and several others were just educated guesses.

I got the Toyota jingle confused w/ the Bud jingle. Guess that’s what I get for not drinking and driving. LOL!

I mixed up the Bud and Dr Pepper jingles. Perhaps it’s because I don’t like either product.

Whoo hooo! 16 out of 16! Only by the process of elimination though…

I LOVE these quizzes!!!
Got 100% (but I feel like I should not be proud of that).
Some were really easy.
Rice a Roni and Almond Joy are pretty distinctive but the Toyota clip really threw me. I just guessed by process of elimination.

These made me feel old, and I’m only 31! The one that really blew me away was the Starburst jingle, that one’s been a while.

100%. 34 years old. Toyota and perfume were the only ones i struggled with.
