Oscar Meyer, the man who taught my generation how to spell "bologna"
better than "Sesame Street" could have ever dreamed, died on Monday at the age of 95. (I still replay the jingle in my head sometimes when writing b-o-l-o-g-n-a, and often wish Meyer had made commercials about "harassment" and "Australia.")
Time magazine TV critic James Poniewozik has an excellent blog piece looking at Meyer's TV legacy through his unforgettable TV commercials. Poniewozik has videos of two classic Oscar Meyer commercials embedded in his piece, but we couldn't resist posting this one, too. Relive the magic after the jump.
