Each commercial ended with Frank Bartles' tagline to the viewers, "and thank you for your support".

From Quiz What In The World Were They Selling? #2

Answer: A bag of rocks

In this 70s commercial, the residents of the moon noticed that they were out of both flavors of Tang, so one of their members dashed off to earth with a bag of rocks to trade for the product and returned nanoseconds later with both. "Sometimes I wonder if there's intelligent life on that planet", was the closing statement made by one of the moon's cartoon "residents". Tang was originally made by General Foods in 1957, but its sales were flat until astronaut John Glenn took it into space during the Mercury flights. From that point on, it was erroneously thought to have originated from the space program and sales took off, just like the rocket ships that it became associated with.

From Quiz What In The World Were They Selling?

Answer: Oil products sold by Texaco

Texas Oil Company (Texaco) was an American oil company. Back in those days, believe it or not, service station attendants actually came out to your car when you pulled up to the pump, checked your fluid levels, offered to clean your windshield, and sometimes offered you a free drinking glass if you filled up your vehicle. All this for around 39 to 55 cents per gallon! (Depending on the year that you pulled in; as the years went by, the services gradually went away, as did the cheaper oil prices.)

From Quiz The Names Just Don't 'Ad' Up!

Answer: Bud & Weis & Er

We were first introduced to Bud, Weis, and Er, the Bud Beer frogs during Super Bowl XXIX in 1995. Their director also directed some of the 'Pirates Of The Caribbean' movies. They were so popular that a couple of chameleons named Frankie and Louis were invited to join them in the pond. To get more of the spot light, the lizards hired an inept hit man who just happened to be a ferret. The ferret was never successful in getting rid of the frogs. But in 1998, the chameleons were successful in replacing the frogs because the frogs were well known and liked by children who were not of drinking age. Ya' just never know who to trust!

From Quiz Pop Songs in TV Commercials 4

Answer: Rock Me Gently

Entitled "Pouring In", Jeep's 2007 ad showed a man opening his sunroof and turning up the stereo as he drove along. He was joined by a squirrel who, to the man's surprise, began singing along to "Rock Me Gently". The man joined in and soon two birds flew in the sunroof and perched on the backs of the seats. As they all sang together, a wolf, who jumped in the sunroof, swallowed one of the birds. The remaining bird, the squirrel and the man all looked at the wolf as if to say "we're singing here". The wolf then spit the bird out so he could pick up the song with, "baby, baby...". The animals and the man continued singing together as they drove on. Jeep's tagline was "Have fun out there". "Rock Me Gently" was a number one hit for Andy Kim in 1974.

27. Taco Bell used, appropriately enough, the song "I Melt with You" in its 2007 ad which promoted the Cheesy Beefy Melt. What group sang the song?

From Quiz Pop Songs in TV Commercials 3

Answer: Modern English

The commercial showed various people holding their Cheesy Beefy Melts with the cheese stretched from their mouths to the melt. Among them were a man and woman eyeing each other at a train station, rival football fans, a goth girl and oddly enough, the Grim Reaper sitting with a man on a park bench. The announcer advised us to "Fall in love with melty cheese". Although Modern English's video was played quite often on MTV in 1983, the song only made it to number seventy-eight on the US pop charts. A re-release in 1990 fared only slightly better, reaching number seventy-six. The song was featured in the movie "Valley Girl" (1983), and was also used in a TV ad for the GMC Acadia, although the GMC ad used a version sung by Nouvelle Vague. The Taco Bell spot used the original version of the song.
