A few sample questions

  1. 1. Which fast-food chain used the slogan 'Where's the beef?' in a famous 1984 commercial?

    Answer: Wendy's

    Wendy's 'Where's the beef?' ad featured Clara Peller questioning the tiny burger patties of competitors. The phrase became a national catchphrase and was even used in the 1984 presidential campaign.

  2. 2. Which cereal brand has long used the slogan 'They're Gr-r-reat!' with Tony the Tiger as its mascot?

    Answer: Frosted Flakes

    Tony the Tiger has been the mascot of Frosted Flakes (originally Sugar Frosted Flakes) since 1952. His enthusiastic 'They're Gr-r-reat!' is one of the longest-running slogans in advertising.

  3. 3. Which soft drink brand ran the 1971 'Hilltop' commercial featuring young people singing 'I'd Like to Buy the World a Coke'?

    Answer: Coca-Cola

    The Coca-Cola 'Hilltop' ad was filmed on a hill outside Rome, Italy, and is considered one of the greatest commercials ever made. The jingle was later released as a pop single.

  4. 4. Which brand's commercials featured the slogan 'Plop, plop, fizz, fizz, oh what a relief it is'?

    Answer: Alka-Seltzer

    Alka-Seltzer's catchy jingle debuted in 1976 and became one of the most memorable advertising tunes of the era. The campaign actually doubled sales by showing two tablets instead of one.

  5. 5. Which battery brand's commercials feature a pink bunny that 'keeps going and going and going'?

    Answer: Energizer

    The Energizer Bunny debuted in 1989 as a parody of Duracell's battery commercials. The drumming bunny became so popular that 'keeps going and going' entered everyday language.
