TOUCH ME , AJAX
Well, it's only 4notes, maybe not really a jingle, but this is the first thing I thought of. From our friends at Wikipedia :
"At the end of the song, Morrison can be heard saying, "Stronger than dirt", which was the slogan of the Ajax household cleaning company, because the last four notes of "Touch Me" were the same as those in an Ajax commercial and as a mocking criticism of Krieger, John Densmore, and Ray Manzarek wanting to accept an offer from Buick to use "Light My Fire" in a commercial[citation needed]. The deal was aborted when Morrison opposed it. This vocal was omitted on the single version, which was a different mix"
"The song is also noted for the last sung line, "stronger than dirt", which was taken from a 1962 Ajax commercial. The Ajax company sued the Doors for plagiarizing the ad's trademark tune. The Doors paid the financial damages in a settlement to the Ajax company."
...which, of course, requires the presentation of this...

I remember when the back of every Playbill (the little mag they give you at a lot of Broadway shows, etc). had a cigarette ad. And also lots of cigarette ads on billboards. They sure used to promote them a lot!
They enjoyed it out by the cee-ment pond.

This made my little 10-year-old self laugh:
This one too. Its still used every once in a while, though in a humorous context now.
Here’s one that reminds me of my adolescent years right after Mom died. Memories of toaster oven French bread pizzas my sister and I made while Dad was working the “extra board”:
I had a friend who used to make fun of the messy-eating old lady at the end.
