Before I forget: The grammar thing with Winston was about the "like". (It technically ought to be "Winston tastes good as a cigarette should.")

I don't know if these are on your list, but I still remember the jingles for two PSAs: "Buckle up for Safety" (to the tune of "Buckle Down, Winsocki") and "Learn How to Swim at the YMCA" (which had a catchy tune and water-safety lyrics). THEY WERE IN BLACK AND WHITE!

Did you guys have the anti-smoking commercials with the two aliens and one kept saying "I agree Smedley". Too long to go into detail here. Calgon, take me away! Ancient Chinese secret, huh? Don't Leave Home Without It - American Express Finger Lickin' Good - Kentucky Fried Chicken (no KFC here) We Love to Fly and It shows - Delta Airlines
