The file

A gum ad about kissing, sung as a slow ballad, which was a lot for a kid to sit through with parents on the couch. The spots were all couples in soft focus and the promise that the flavor lasted.

It's one of the most-parodied jingles of the decade, and the reason a whole generation associates cinnamon gum with romance, or at least with a commercial about it.
