Crest "Bubblegum Toothpaste"
If there is one thing I hate, it’s the taste of toothpaste. Yuck! It is like putting chalk in your mouth. When my dentist heard about my problem, he gave me new bubblegum flavored Crest. It still cleans my teeth but now it is Bubblegum flavored. Thank you Crest!

American Airlines "Me on TV"
Hey dad, you are probably wondering how I got on TV. It doesn’t matter. I’ll tell you about it later. The important thing is I’m in Hawaii. Doesn’t it look beautiful? See there is a beach and the ocean and (a pretty girl/guy walks by) well there are tons of beautiful sights here. So Dad, I know you need a vacation as much as I do. So hop on American Airlines and have them fly you to Hawaii. You won’t regret it.

Snickers Marathon Energy Bars
Failure is not an option. But if you can't finish that lousy energy bar, we don't blame you.
Finally an energy bar that actually tastes great! Snickers Marathon Energy Bar. The energy you crave.
Hyundai
The logo is there to tell you what the car is, not who you are. Truth is, logos don’t really do much of anything. They don’t make you cooler. They don’t make the product better. In fact, a logo means nothing. Unless, of course, the company behind it means something. So what if anything does a Hyundai logo mean? It means you’ve done your homework. It means a 10 year/100,000-mile power train warranty and 510 distinct quality tests on every single vehicle.
Marshalls
I got my dark hair from my dad and my blue eyes from my mom. Yep, great genes. You can’t pick your family jeans, but you can pick your blue jeans. So make the right choice and head to Marshals. I got great jeans from Marshals and all the jeans are on sale now, through Sunday! So thank your folks for your family genes, but thank Marshals for your jeans!
Sun Chips "Solar Power"
My chips are made with solar power. No wonder I feel warm inside. In California, SunChips snacks are made with the help of the sun. As if you needed another reason to love them. Live brightly, start with SunChips.
