Advert nostalgia
Some of the most clever jingle writing has to be for the cleaning product Spray 'n' Wipe. If you are old enough to remember this, you'll be singing as you read it:
Got a call from Mr Fryer, who's bringing around a buyer
The kitchen looked a fright, from the little do last night
Although I felt quite sickly, I had to clean it quickly
With Spray 'n' Wipe All Purpose, I cleaned up every surface
Spray 'n' Wipe's a breeze, cause it cuts through toughest grease
The kitchen's sparkling clean and the buyer's very keen, so thank you Spray 'n' Wipe!
