Faygo Red Pop commercials were classics. Also, Marlboro cigarettes [[Marlboro Man) and Charmin [["please don't squeeze the Charmin" although I never knew why).
And then there were the oddly-named Hostess cake cartoon characters. I always thought they were suggestive in their names: Twinkie the Kid, Captain Cupcake, Fruitpie the Magician, Happy Ho Ho and the very unfortunately named King Dong. Am I the only one who sees double entendre there? Have since I was a little boy.
