You know, it’s amazing what you find yourself singing to a teething baby in the middle of the night. I’ve discovered, for example, that I have a whole repertoire of 70s and 80s advertising jingles in my head.

In fact, it was so good that Wrigley’s recently resurrected it for a new commercial. Tragically, the spot is really kind of cringe-inducing, due to bad casting, a cliched setup (a roller coaster? really?), and some really bad directing:
Also, am I the only one who thinks it’s a shame that they had to change “a stick of Juicy Fruit” to “a piece of Juicy Fruit”?
