U.S. Commercials Trivia Questions

91. Which US mobile phone company uses the slogan "America's most reliable wireless network."?

From Quiz
Miscellaneous US Slogans from the 2000s

Answer: Verizon Wireless

Verizon isn't that old of a company- it's only been around since 2000! It was formed when Bell Atlantic merged with another company, known as GTE. The name "Verizon" is a mix of the words "veritas" and "horizon." They say AT&T is "the network with the fewest dropped calls," but depending on the area, Verizon can be "America's most reliable wireless network."

92. Which appliance company had the slogan "Clotheslines are for the birds"?

From Quiz Commercial Slogans of the Fifties

Answer: Westinghouse

Westinghouse even offered a free book called "Guide to the Weather" if you purchased one. Their dryers featured the revolutionary "Dry Dial". Westinghouse also made fans, vacuum cleaners, washers, the Electric China Coffeemaker plus the Westinghouse flip-flop toaster. In the fifties Westinghouse began operation of their consumer credit division, Westinghouse Credit Corporation.

93. Smokers of what cigarette brands would rather "fight than switch"?

From Quiz US Cigarette Commercials

Answer: Tareyton

Tareyton featured a charcoal and white filter tip. At the end of the commercial an actor with a black eye would quote their "I would rather fight than switch" mantra.

94. In the ad which showed us that there were indeed more cavemen out there (the second ad), they became aware of the ad (and offended by it) when they saw it on TV. Where were they when they saw the ad?

From Quiz So Easy a Caveman Can Do It

Answer: in an apartment

The cavemen were hanging out in their apartment (one using a laptop computer, one playing the piano, and the other just watching TV) when the Geico ad came on. The one watching TV jumped up and said, "What's that supposed to mean?". Another remarked, "That is really condescending". All three of them were obviously incensed by Geico's claims.

95. Which brand of bottled fitness water played the song "Under Pressure" in their innovative 2007 commercial which featured a giant "stress monster" running through the streets of a city?

From Quiz Pop Songs in TV Commercials 3

Answer: Propel

In close-ups of the stress monster, we could see he was made up of things which would cause stress and pressure: bosses and coworkers, traffic signs, family, cabs and ringing telephones. As he ran, these things fell off of him, revealing a man under the jumble. De-stressed by his run, the man stopped, had a drink of Propel, and then continued running, as we were told "Fit has a feeling and a water. Propel, the fitness water". The song "Under Pressure" was by Queen, with David Bowie.

96. "Why yes, a duck to advertise the benefits of having our supplemental insurance sounds great." Which company used this approach?

From Quiz Please Don't Squeeze the Mascot!

Answer: AFLAC

The first commercial to feature the duck showed two men, sitting on a park bench by a lake, discussing that insurance that helps you pay your bills when you're injured. But the one talking about it couldn't remember the name of it. Enter the duck. He said, "Aflac", but the men kept talking. He got out of the water, waddled up, and said again, "Aflac". The one man thought the duck wanted food and threw a piece of bread at him. Indignant, the duck kicked the bread back, hitting the man in the face. Yet again, the duck said, "Aflac", this time louder. The guy still said he couldn't remember the name, and the duck shook his head in frustration. To end the commercial, the duck said "Aflac" to a hot dog vendor, who looked at the duck suspiciously and wondered if he had really heard anything. The AFLAC duck made his first appearance in 2000, and has been in many of the company's commercials. The voice was provided by Gilbert Gottfried.

Kraft's song even had its own words, which included, "The things you crave, that big cheese taste that blows you away, the things you say, they're crumbelievable".
