Interesting that most of the products in the quiz, are still available, and on the shelves of most stores. I still prefer Maxwell House Coffee. :cup:

Rutumi - love your Pepsi jingle!  I liked it better than CocaCola, but like you, I wasn't allowed to drink either one, because of teeth!  I had braces on my teeth for about three years in the 1940's, and couldn't have candy, gum, cola drinks, or popcorn.

Most interesting!
Where I grew up we never had these ads, jingles or whatever, even though many of these products were sold in Congo.
I don't even remember hearing publicity on the local radio and of course we had no television until probably the mid 60s
