Finish the Sara Lee jingle: "Everybody doesn't like something,"
"but nobody does it like Sara Lee"
"but nobody doesn't like Sara Lee"
Mind blown? Probably, because this is perhaps the most commonly misheard jingle out there.
"but nobody doesn't eat Sara Lee"
"Ace is the place with the,"
"helpful hardware store."
"helpful hardware folks."
Most of this jingle's emphasis is placed on the front half, so it trails off at the end, leaving less detail-oriented consumers unsure of what Ace is the place for.
"helpful hardware stuff."
Which of these ranked as the best-recognized jingle, according to a survey of American consumers by Quality Logo Products?

“Ba-da-ba-ba-baaa… I’m lovin’ it”
“Riiiicola!”

Finish the line: "I am stuck on Band-Aid,"
"since Band-Aid sticks to me."
"'cause Band-Aid's stuck on me!"

"'cause Band-Aid doesn't hurt."
