That jingle burrowed in deeper than family. My grandma could hum the whole "plop plop fizz fizz" thing but drew a blank on my middle name every single time. Ads back then were built to stick in your brain like glue, catchy tunes and weird mascots you couldn't shake. Family stuff just didn't get the same repeat plays. Crazy how a 30 second spot from 1976 outlasts real memories.

Man I felt this in my soul. That blank screen after a quick swap is the worst feeling because you know deep down you did it to yourself. Four hours chasing a ghost when the answer was right there on your phone the whole time, that stings. I started taking a phone pic of the connector before I pull anything now, saved me more than once. Reading the sheet out loud sounds dumb until you're the guy who mirrored two pins.
