Before we get into why this local commercial jingle writer in Atlanta is clearly the worst jingle writer in history, why don’t you take a listen to one of his tunes. Like this one, for the now unforgettable candy store “Hoffman’s Chocolates”:
But it was thanks to loyal BWE reader Marci Robin, who pointed out the eery local low budget commercial coincidence in the following ad for Smartbox, a company that either sells boxes or wants your stuff. The jingle writer, who sounds AWFULLY SIMILAR to our new favorite Hoffman’s Chocolates singer, basically just wrote down what happens when you put your stuff into storage and hammered it into an all too familiar tune…
Take a listen:
Now listen to this one again:
And, for good measure, once again:
You guys… we can’t tell if these are the worst local jingles or the BEST. What I do know is I’m about to call the Smartbox people to come over and store away all my Hoffman’s Chocolates.
And yes, we did realize that both of these jingles sound awfully similar to the old David Cross routine “Henderson Valley Eggs, You’re Gonna Love Our Eggs.”
UPDATE: Turns out Hoffman’s Chocolates is in South Florida. (As a native, I, too, was surprised.) So thankfully, these jingles are taking over the entire Southeast.
