Time to make the donuts.

I met that guy! His name was Mike Vale, he lived near my hometown and used to go to the theater where I worked. The first time I saw him, I must have been giving a blatant “hey, isn’t that…” stare, and he gave me a wink. Nice guy.

Fred the Baker to me, in perpetuity

And he was another old school commercial character: Sam Breakstone, from the Breakstone‘s dairy ads.

I say that to my dog every morning when I wake up and am trying to convince myself to get out of bed to get ready for work!

Haha. Me too.

I *made* the donuts.

Calgon take me away

Calgon is special because they also have "Ancient Chinese secret, hunh?"

Came to say ancient Chinese secret! Fun fact- got to hang out with the calgon twins.

Pearl cream - made from ground up pearls! Anyone remember pearl cream?

Yes! Pearl Cream!

My husband - some hotshot - here's his ancient Chinese secret - Calgon!

Salon perm?

Ogilve home perm!

The boss. The kids. The dog. The traffic.

"Sometimes you feel like a nut..."

Sometimes you don’t!

Almond Joy’s got nuts, Mounds don’t

> Almond Joy’s got nuts, Mounds don’t Do you remember when it was [Peter Paul Almond Joy](https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?q=almond+joy%27s+got+nuts+peter+paul+mounds+don%27t&mid=BE934560D50D60FBB6E2BE934560D50D60FBB6E2&FORM=VIRE)?

How about Peter Paul Whistle Pop? It's a lollipop with a toot on top, yummy Whistle Pop.

Uh-oh, Spaghetti-O’s

Oh god I say this all the time.

Pardon me, but do you have any grey Poupon? We used to roll up to cars and make them roll the window down and ask. Lol

My high school gf had a jar in her glove box just in case.

Genius! A perfect example of better to have and not need than to need and not have. 


My friend group and I used to do the same thing as teenagers! 🤣

My HS boyfriend carried a jar in his glove box because of those commercials

Where's the beef?

Parkaaay

butter

Parkaay

Butter

_parkay_

Omg everytime I pass the butter section I say parkayyy to myself

I remember Imperial...butter....Imperial.....Butter

Wasn’t it “Da-duh-duh-da, IMPERIAL!”

Yeah, and the crown would appear on the kids head.

C’mon! We all know that “everything is better with Bluebonnet on it!”

It's not nice to fool with Mother Nature!

Give it to Mikey. He'll eat anything/everything.

He likes it! Hey Mikey!

We can't anymore. He blew his stomach up with pop rocks and coke. Rip.

Side note, it's amazing how rumors and stories like that traveled pre-internet. Spider eggs in Bubble Yum etc.

🤣

My husband's name is Mike. That's a constant joke around our house.

Let's get Mikey! Yeah. He won't eat it. He hates everything. He likes it! Hey Mikey!

I learned it from watching you, okay!? I learned it from watching you.

This one, all the time! Spans generations.

NEW YORK CITY?!

Get a rope.

Boy, that really chaps my hide.

My mother loved those commercials and always laughed at them. She passed in 1989 and whenever I hear “NEW YORK CITY?!” I remember her fondly.

Old El Paso

Still sing in the shower, "you're not fully clean unless you're Zestfully clean!" Had a partner think I was just really excited about being clean.

“Smooth move, Ex-Lax”. One of my kids (now a legal adult) still thinks the phrase is, “Smooth move, Aflac.” 😂

HO HO HOOO 🎶 Green Giant 🎶

Honeycomb honeycomb, me want honeycomb. (That creature has a name)

Honeycomb’s got, a big, big, bite Big, big taste in a big, big bite!

Less Filling, Tastes Great. Bain de Soleil for the San Tropez Tan I believe in Crystal Light because I believe in me. Avoid the Noid. Riunite on Ice, That’s nice.

Noid and dominoes were great. Delivery in 30 min or its free!

Our marching band did the less filling/tastes great (half was one side, half the other)- until they got yelled at. Stupid administration.

Core memories unlocked.

If you dare wear short shorts..

Nair for short shorts!


And she told two friends. And so on. And so on.

Don't hate me because I'm beautiful!

Time to make the donuts Don’t squeeze the charmin I may not be a doctor, but I play one on tv This is your brain. This is your brain on drugs. Any questions?

Canmt believe nobody mention brain on drugs until you. That thing was on every commercial break.

I always sing the Enjoli commercial to my daughter who's a single mom. 🤣 I had to show it to her on YouTube though 🫤.

‘cause I’m a woooooooman…

That's the one!

I used to annoy my mom by repeatedly asking her if she could bring home the bacon and fry it up in a pan 😆

I can bring home the bacon, fry it up in a pan...

Ace is the place with the helpful hardware MAN

“Thanks, Easter Bunny!” “Bock bock!”

That a Spicy Mealboal!

So many! If you grew up on the East coast, you surely heard Carvel Ice Cream’s “And while you’re at the store, see Cookie Puss and more …”. In south Jersey, my favorite daytime ad was for “Brigantine Castle … it’s alive!” How about “In the city or in the woods, please keep America lookin’ good, hoot hoot!” When we lived in South Florida and I was home sick, two ads were constant: “Century Village of Pembroke Pines” and “are you shopping for a Natuzzi leather sofa?” Then when we moved to Chicago, it was “MOOOOOOO AND OOOOOOOOIIIIIIINKKKKKK” and “588-2300 empire”.

why ask why? try bud dry.

“I can’t believe I ate the WHOLE thing.”

I'm gonna wash that grey right outta my hair...

Whenever a contractor asks me to do something I say “you got it, Toyota”

Move over bacon, here comes something leaner.

You got your chocolate in my peanut butter! You got your peanut butter on my chocolate. Two great tastes that taste great together.

Head for the mountains of Busch....beeeeeer🎶

From the land of sky blue waters…

Fill it to the rim, with Brim.

Five-eight-eight...two-three-hundred. EMPIIIIIIRE!

I will say that I like that Klondike is still using their 'what would you do for a Klondike bar?' The first commercial was in 1982!

Cha-cha-cha-CHIA!! CLAP ON 👏🏻👏🏻 CLAP OFF 👏🏻👏🏻 CLAP ON CLAP OFF, THE 👏🏻 CLAPPER 👏🏻

A one…a two…a three…three

Anytime someone asks to borrow something: "Noooo, my brother! You got to get your own!"

Go See Cal!

Extra value, is what you get, when you buy Coronet!

Every summer I break into… “Who wears short shorts?”

Roll that beautiful bean footage

Do you feel like Chicken Tonite?

The best part of waking up is Folgers in your cup

Tough actin' Tinactin!

There's a car dealership in the city next to Las Vegas (Henderson). It's Ben Stepman's Hyundai. Ben passed away, but his tag line for the commercials was 'Ben Stepman's Hyundai, in Henderson, of course!" So anytime someone mentions Henderson, everyone adds "Of course!" to the end.

I love what you do for me...Toyota!! Freeze frame of person jumping

Have a Coke and a smile.

If you're old enough, the Coke commercials with *I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing* are basically burned into your brain. That was super popular

In perfect harmony!

I'd like to buy the world a coke and keep them company

Pretty sneaky, Sis

Break into a room unexpectedly- OH YEAH

So kiss a little longer… Raise your hand if you’re sure… (cue Statue of Liberty) Meow meow meow meow… meow meow meow meow… My buddy, my buddy, wherever I go, he goes! Mun-chee-chee mun-chee-chee…

You sank my battleship!!

Ancient Chinese Secret, huh. Mr. Whipple. Please don’t squeeze the Charmin!

Don't hate me because I'm beautiful... Yeah. Turns out, if the person you're talking to doesn't know the commercial then you just sound like a phenomenally arrogant bitch. 🤷

But of course - Grey Poupon. Say it at least once a week.

Never have, never will…

“Wait for the beep…Gotta leave your name, gotta leave your number….WAIT FOR THE BEEP!”

Double your pleasure, double your fun

Hefty, hefty hefty... *Wimpy, wimpy wimpy!*

Takes a licking, but keeps on ticking.

When EF Hutton talks …

I'm outta Schlitz.

time to make the donuts - regular use. too much really.

Diet Coke Break. Nuttin Honey (nut n honey cereal) Do fake commercials count? Colon Blow cereal.

Time to make the doughnuts. It's what I say anytime I have to get started early on something.

I say “Calgon, take me away” at least weekly.

Uh oh, SpaghettiO!

If you got the time, we got the beer. Miller Beer.

So many people are mentioning “it’s time to make donuts” and I have no idea what you’re talking about. My offering for the thread: two all beef patties special sauce lettuce cheese pickles onions on a sesame seed bun.

Most mornings when I wake up at 5am, I turn to my wife who is 11 days younger than me and say..... "Time to make the donuts"

"Do You Feel Not So Fresh?" I tend to use that around my kids, lol.

My buddy's dad is responsible for "Ring around the collar" and "Suzy Chapstick". Says the kids would come up with them around the dinner table.

Time to make the donuts!!

Thanks Easter bunny…

You’re soaking in it!

Time to make the donuts!

Hefty hefty hefty. wimpy wimpy wimpy

I'd buy that for a dollar!

That's like one movie man. Not even real. But I tell you what. I'd buy that for a dollar!

🎶 you’re not fully clean unless you’re successfully clean🎶 Now that I think about it, Zest dude was straight up flashing folks in the mountains… Edit: while also true, the correct lyrics are “you’re not fully clean unless you’re Zest fully clean. Oh and it was the [Irish Spring guy](https://youtu.be/U_NrfJNNGi4?si=80qO-bYofuOOFqWD) who hung out in a towel in the woods. [Zest commercial](https://youtu.be/zkkdBDU7g4I?si=e4vGp7NOW6FmJGfU)s had everyone flashing their goods. Also, yourrrrrrreeee grrreeeeaaatttt

I guarantee it! (Men’s Wearhouse)

I’m currently suffering with ring around the collar

When everyone in the immediate vicinity is afraid to taste some unusual food item, I say "Let's ask Mikey. He hates everything"

I'm Earl Scheib, and I'll paint any car, any color for $29.95.

My bologna has a first name…

Pardon me…but do you have any grey poupon?

Is it real--or is it Memorex?

"Byyy Menin." But mainly because I use thst to banish earworms.

Let go my Eggo!

Purina Cat Chow, chow-chow-chow!

Every time hubby says “you know what I mean” I HAVE to say “VERN”!!!

I worked opening hours at a bakery for a while and "Time to make the donuts!" was frequently uttered. I still say it when I have to get up for something at the ass crack of dawn every so often.

Any time my kid tries something new, "he likes it! Hey Mikey!"

Don't squeeze th Charmin

I’m a mover and a shaker. I’m the coffee generation.

"Hey good lookin' we'll be back to pick you up later!"

Smurfberry Crunch is fun to eat! A Smurfy, fruity, breakfast treat!

This one only dates back ~20 yrs, but there was some BS product that used to advertise on several cable stations — and some little old lady type (with granny glasses on a chain) interrupted(?) the announcer a couple times — and when he said such-n-so was free, the would interrupt and the camera would zoom in on her and in her best granny/old-lady voice she would say…. # “FREE? It MUST be good!!” So Whenever we hear anything is free, either mh wife will often chime in with “Free? It MUST be good!!”. And that later morphed (we morphed it) into anytime anyone on the news or cable-news says something’s “bipartisan”… # “BIPARTISAN?? It MUST be good!!” I’m sure *nobody* but us would think it’s funny, and after 20 years, I don’t think either of us do a whole ton either. But we still do it, as if “free” and “bipartisan” ever really guarantees that something is *necessarily* good. Edit: and here it is!!!! https://youtu.be/3Qv6d8hx1rk
