In Québec there is a moving company that has been using the same jingle and phone number for decades. Ir’s really catchy and sticks in your head.

Le clan Panneton, pour déménager, faut composer le 937-0707.

The ad from 1997: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBIADSFYoVk

The ad from 2018: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_VYYkFMcFk

Ask anyone in QC what’s the Clan Panneton’s number and they will start signing it.

I never really understood it… like are there really that many people out there with annuities to justify this level of marketing?

That song is burned into my brain as a kid growing up in the 90s-00s but I’ve never heard of anyone actually having an annuity… Maybe I’m sheltered.
