Roto-Rooter celebrates the golden anniversary of its jingle this year, showing that for half a century customers have been singing "... and away go troubles down the drain."
In 1954, the Roto-Rooter jingle had to compete with other companies like Brylcreem ("a little dab'll do ya") and Campbell's Soup ("Mmm, Mmm, Good"). But though advertisers have moved away from using catchy songs to grab consumer attention, Roto-Rooter is among only a few companies to leave its jingle intact and untouched for this long.
