Yeah, this list of rejected advertising jingles is constructed around tariffs and how the Trump administration's sledgehammer application of said tariffs is running the economy into the ditch. Quoth the Raven—Nevermore.
Many of the jingles we hijacked for comedic purposes date back to the 1970s, on account of the writing team here at Klugness consists solely of old farts. The brands and companies whose antique jingles we deconstructed include Chevrolet, Folgers, Lucky Charms, Huggies Pull Ups, Oscar Mayer hot dogs and bologna, Ace Hardware, Coke, Almond Joy and Mounds (Peter Paul, Inc.), and Burger King.
Trump's campaign gimmick where he worked the McDonalds drive through is what first gave us the idea for this topic. We kept imagining that he was saying to the customers, "Do you want tariffs with that?"—ha!
The on-again off-again nature of the tariffs is what makes item 1 resonate.
