Used to figure jingles died off once the kids who grew up with them got old, but that focus group thing flipped me. There's a 7 Up "uncola" radio spot from like 1976 and my nephew knew it off some TikTok sound, had no clue where it came from. Seems like the catchy ones just get passed down through weird channels now, commercials, memes, whatever. Some stuff sticks forever even when nobody remembers the actual ad.

Grinding a whole third of the pad over that seems like a lot.

This phrase has been around way longer than some bus ride in Seattle, going back to at least early 2023 in stan Twitter circles before it ever hit TikTok. People always act like they discovered slang on the bus when it's been recycled for years across different platforms. Stuff like this never really dies, it just moves to the next app and somebody new thinks they started it.
