In 1974, comedian Bill Cosby became the company’s pudding spokesperson, and continued to serve as the voice of Jell-O for almost thirty years.
Over the course of [Bill Cosby’s] tenure as the mouthpiece for the company, he would hawk new products such as frozen Jell-O Pops (in both gelatin and pudding varieties); the new Sugar-Free Jell-O, which replaced D-Zerta and was sweetened with NutraSweet; Jell-O Jigglers concentrated gummi snacks; and Sparkling Jell-O, a carbonated version of the dessert touted as the “Champagne of Jell-O.”
In May 2006, in promotion of the Texas Double Whopper, Burger King released a campaign called the “Manthem” which parodies Helen Reddy’s I Am Woman. It depicts a man and his girlfriend at a fancy restaurant. Disappointed by the meager portions he is served, the man bursts into song, expressing his desire for a Texas Double Whopper, in place of what he deems “chick food.”
“I Am Woman” is a song cowritten by Helen Reddy and singer/songwriter/guitarist Ray Burton and performed by Reddy. Released in its most well-known version in 1972, the song became an enduring anthem for the women’s liberation movement.
Arguably the most famous of Dr Pepper‘s advertising campaigns was their “Be a Pepper” series. These commercials referred to fans of Dr Pepper as “Peppers,” and often featured crowd dance scenes with elaborate, over-the-top choreography. One popular ad included the jingle:
“I’m a Pepper, He’s a Pepper
She’s a Pepper, We’re a pepper
Wouldn’t You Like to be a Pepper, Too?
Be a Pepper~ Drink Dr Pepper”
A jingle is a memorable slogan, set to an engaging melody, mainly broadcast on radio and sometimes on television commercials.

“Love handles” is a colloquial or slang term for a layer of fat that is deposited around a person’s midsection, especially visible on the sides over the abdominal external oblique muscle. They are called “love handles” because they provide a soft place to rest one’s hand while one’s arm is around a person, or perhaps because they can serve as places to hold on while in the throes of passion.
Badonkadonk (sometimes pronounced “badunkadunk”) is a slang term for a woman’s buttocks that are voluptuously large and firm. It first appeared in mass media in 2001 in a line by rapper Keith Murray in the song “Fatty Girl”: “You got a badonkadonk, girl, don’t hurt nobody!” Occasionally the term is used pejoratively such as the 2007 award-winning advertisement for Subway in which a woman at a competitor’s restaurant orders “thunder thighs and a badonkadonk butt”.

The McMuffin is the brand name for a breakfast sandwich available at McDonald’s consisting of a slice of Canadian bacon, a grill-cooked egg, and a slice of cheese on a buttered, toasted English muffin. A sausage patty may also be selected in place of the Canadian bacon (in which case it would be called a Sausage McMuffin with Egg).
Breakfast is the first meal of the day, typically eaten in the morning. The word derives from the idea of breaking the involuntary fast of sleep.
