I've never been particularly athletic, nor have I ever suffered from athlete's foot. Still, decades after hearing the radio jingle, "Nobody knows the athlete's foot like The Athlete's Foot," in the '80s, it still comes to mind half the time when I put on shoes. Usually, my memory of the jingle also includes the announcer's commercial-ending tag, "Run right in!" Often, when I hear other radio commercials attempting to drum up excitement for a sale, I'll say, "Run right in," under my breath.
I've heard scores of shoe store commercials over the years; none of their jingles, however, have stuck in my mind the way that Athlete's Foot one has. Ironically, despite the constant mental reminders, I've never shopped there.
