Jingle

Any time I see a Western New Yorker on the big stage, I hope the most for them.  I think we have some of the most incredibly talented people on the planet, and I’m always so proud to show them off.  Like this lady, who was trying to win a jingle contest for Folgers coffee.

Over the years, you've probably heard millions of commercials.  Many of those commercials have very familiar jingles.  But did you know how similar those jingles are?  Check out this video from Grant Woolard.  He combines 25 popular jingles into one song.

Buffalo brewer Iroquois closed their doors for good in the early 70's, but many of us still remember them. Iroquois beer had quite a following here in Buffalo. There are still many taverns here in the area that still have an Iroquois sign, beer tray or light on the wall...

One of my hobbies is collecting old beer items from Buffalo breweries like Simon Pure, Iroquois, Stein's, Beck's, Manru-Schreiber and many others. There was a time when Buffalo was a major beer producing town and home to many breweries.

Thanks to everyone who responded to my earlier post about the Genesee Brewing Company reviving 12 Horse Ale. A lot of people facebooked me about it. One listener even sent me this Youtube video of a Genesee Cream Ale commercial that was put together by a couple of Buffalo guys who happen to be big Genesee Cream Ale fans...
