Hamburger Helper

So last night for dinner my hubby made Hamburger Helper. I cannot remember the last time I had Hamburger Helper! It got me to thinking about my childhood. Remember that slogan:

"Hamburger Helper Helped Her Hamburger Help Her... Make A Great Meal!"

There were so many catchy jingles from when we were kids. Which ones do you remember? It doesn't even have to be a song. It can be a catch phrase like:

"Ancient Chinese Secret, Huh?"

"Ring Around the Collar!"

"Where's the Beef?"

Come on. Wax nostalgic with me!

how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop? ah one, ah two, a three!

i also liked just the regular tootsie roll commercial...

whatever it is i think i see
becomes a tootsie roll to me!

i was also a big fan of

ice cream and an oreo cookie
tastes forever go together like a classic combination
when a dark delicious cookie meets an icy cold sensation like the one and only creamy, crunchy, chocolaty O-R-E-O

i watched WAY too much tv as a kid!

and FIRST!

Excellent Job, Ladies!! I feel happy remembering this simpler time!

How about this one:

Two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun

Or this one (brought back recently):

My bologna has a first name
It's OSCAR
My bologna has a second name
It's MAYER
Ohhh I love to eat it every day
And if you ask me why, I'll say:
Cuz Oscar Mayer has a way with
BOLOGNA

or better yet-

Oh I wish I were an Oscar Mayer weiner
That is what I'd truly love to be
Cuz if I were an Oscar Mayer weiner
Everyone would be in love with me!

Awwww! Laura, you make me blush! Thank you and ditto! It's really cool for me to find another Laura who isn't weird. You know, how people will say that all "Dougs" are weird or all "Karens" are crazy or whatever. Well I knew a few "Lauras" from HS and college that were nuts. And I was thinking - Oh GOD! I'm one of them. Everyone is probably saying that all "Lauras" are nuts. But now I know that's not true :)

Good one Mel! I LOVED Orange Crush. Mmmmm

Also, we were talking about the fact that Rondald McDonald is a thing of the past. He was totally replaced with those "Hip" Mickey Ds commercials.....

How's about a nice Hawaiian Punch?

They call her... Charlie!

I can bring home the bacon
Fry it up in a pan
And never ever ever ever
Let you forget you're a man

I was thinking about the Kool Aid guy, too! Didn't he have a song? And I really remember those "This is your brain, this is your brain on drugs" PSAs.

Hey, Kool Aid!

Kool Aid's here, bringing the fun

Thirst on the run
Give a big wide happy
Kool Aid gri hi hi in..

I'm not sure about that last line.

Speaking of the 70's, an army of David Soul fans descended upon my blog. And boy, were they angry.

Ok, as usual, late to the ballgame. But here's my two cents:

Conjunction junction, what's your function?

Daniel-san: Wax on, wax off. Wax on, wax off.

(Ok, so they weren't commericals, but the whole theme got me 80s nostalgic).
