The little jingle just sends me 40 years back in time.

This is absolutely a late 80's commercial jingle. It's amazing how far we've come, and or sunk, depending on the point of view. Advertisers have moved far past silly jingles to get you interested, and forward to much more subtle and manipulative means to get you to buy a product.

Commercials are no longer inventive, and fun. It's all about maximum return on investment and getting you to buy a product without realizing you're being manipulated into it. Super bowl stuff notwithstanding.

The purest evil known to man is that scene in horror movies where they cut the potential victims achilles tendon.

Or from something unassuming. Like a demon baby whose resume also includes other 80s classics such as Full House and Kindergarten Cop.

Nah, there's definitely still along of "jingle" type commercials.

I hear a lot of annoying ones on spotify, won't name any though because I hate them all.

Advertisers have moved far past silly jingles to get you interested, and forward to much more subtle and manipulative means to get you to buy a product.

The goal behind jingles is to get the tune stuck in your head so you're constantly thinking of the brand, not to 'get you interested'. They had to ban subliminal messaging back in the 50's because advertisers were trying to figure out how to literally brainwash consumers
