The Ultimate Quiz of TV Jingles and Slogans from the Past

A few short decades ago there were only three commercial TV networks to captivate us and dazzle our senses with jingles and slogans.

In TV's early days, sponsors purchased half-hour and one-hour blocks of time, then presented the show with their commercials embedded into the program. In its true original format, for example, "Mr. Ed" endorsed Studebakers, and Wilbur even drove one during the show's "commercial" breaks.

Is it any wonder that so many baby boomers have a vast array of advertising jingles and once-familiar slogans rattling around in their age-defying minds?

Give a gander to this jingle and slogan quiz from the past, and see how many long-forgotten blanks you can fill in. The number in parenthesis at the end of each line specifies the correct number of words. The dashes in answer fields represent the total number of letters.
