There was some show on this topic, maybe on NPR, quite a while ago. The most hilarious thing they played was Iron Butterfly doing an ad for Ban roll-on antiperspirant, many years ago. Please imagine this with their weird art-rock / heavy metal sound, and the lead singer's husky voice singing (shouting): "Ban doesn't wear off ... As the day wears on!..." It was such a bizarre thing to hear, I have never forgotten it.

Don't forget Jefferson Airplanes Levis Stretch Jeans ad. And the Electric Prunes Lays Potato Chips ad. But at least both bands wrote the jingles. "Crunchy Munchy Potato Chip" is about the lamest thing you've ever heard.
