      It's not all that uncommon for companies to try to get kids to know the company. When you need carpet, you're gonna call empire because you remember the jingle. Cigarette companies used to do that all the time, by using cartoons to promote cigarettes. Before the practice was banned. But companies still do that today. Such as Geico.

To this day any time I hear that jingle I get a vivid memory of me at 5 years old sneaking into the living room at 2 AM, getting my sippy cup full of chocolate milk I hid in the fridge from the day before, fiddling with the remote for a solid 15 minutes to try and make the tv turn on, to only get the tv to turn on and have the thing at max volume. I fumbled but managed to get it at the perfect volume and just watched tv for hours. Thanks for posting this. Brings back a good memory.

The only reason I remember the ad still is because right after it said the “today” part some child from the hallway screamed extremely loud and it scared me I remember not being able to tell if it was from the ad or not but lookin back it probably wasn’t but I have never found the variation of the ad with the lady in it ever sense (the ad was the 2008 version just with the lady)
