My gawd! This is totally me!

"Viewing that Beech Nut gum commercial sent chills down my spine. I remember as a 5-year-old living with my family in Hollis, Queens, NY (not far, by the way, from the old Ideal toys factory) being engrossed by that gum ad whenever it came on.
"I'm 39 now and throughout my life, every couple years or so, that "Buy Beech-Nut, Buy Gum" jingle would bubble up from the deep recesses of my brain for no apparent reason before I'd push it back down. So to see that spot only reminds me that TV advertising can be insidiously memorable, even if it doesn't prompt one to buy the product immediately. (I just might go out and buy some Beechnut tomorrow.)"
