Advertising

For many decades, TV commercials for the product have ended with the tagline, "Choosy mothers choose Jif" and, in the 1990s, "Choosy moms choose Jif." During the 2000s, the tagline was again updated, now being said as "choosy moms, and dads, choose Jif."

A recent ad features an example of a divide and choose scenario.

From 1998 to 2000, there was also a musical jingle that accompanied many Jif ads, which used the lyrics, "Moms like you choose Jif, choose Jif!" http://bekahsbits.blogspot.com/2007/04/pb-day.htmlhttp://www.tvparty.com/vaultcom2.htmlhttp://www.metalmusicman.com/forum/index.php/topic,2472.msg26843.html#msg26843
