I consider myself a coffee addict – one thing that the hubs and I have in common. Our day starts with not only a cup of coffee, but plenty…2 to 3 for me (sometimes 4) and just as many, if not more for the hubs. The hubs and I always kid about coffee as our source of “power” for the day and we would be powerless without it. And our favorite brand? Folgers, of course! But in all honestly, I hadn’t tried Folgers coffee until I got here in the U.S. And yes, it was my husband who introduced me to such delicious coffee. It has been his coffee of choice for as long as he can remember. His good taste is undeniably excellent. Got to give the credit where it is due, right? 😉
With a cup of coffee in hand, let’s talk more about Folgers, shall we?
THE JINGLE
“The best part of wakin’ up is Folgers in your cup…”
Who doesn’t recognize that jingle? The Folgers jingle has become an iconic piece of pop culture. I must admit, I am guilty myself of singing along with the jingle whenever I see the advertisement on TV. It’s one of those tunes that get stuck in your head and it stays right there in your head the entire day and you find yourself singing it over and over again. Can you relate to that?
And speaking of the iconic jingle, Folgers is sponsoring the Folgers Jingle Contest and is inviting aspiring musicians to join!
THE CONTEST
Together with country singer Chris Young, Folgers is encouraging aspiring musicians around the country to create their own version of the jingle, Best Part of Wakin’ Up™.
You can submit your video on their website from January 30 to February 27, 2017. Your version of the Jingle must include the complete melody and complete lyrics of “The Best Part of Wakin’ Up is Folgers in Your Cup.”
Five semi-finalists will be chosen from February 27 to March 19, and they will all have a mentoring session with Chris Young before the online vote.
All you fans around the country can vote daily for your favorite jingle from March 27 to April 24. Each vote automatically gives you the chance to win prizes up to $10,000. And the jingle contest winner will be selected and win the grand prize of $25,000 in May!
Isn’t that awesome?! So go ahead…have a cup of Folgers coffee while creating your own version of the jingle then enter the Folgers Jingle Contest and follow your dreams! Good luck!
That is so cool! I can’t wait to see who wins the contest. I’ve always had a special place in my heart for jingles, and Folgers has been the only coffee I’ve kept in the house fore years.
Running a jingle contest is a good marketing strategy to engage with the audience and learn about them at the same time. It will be exciting to know which jingle will win!
When my husband used to drink freshly brewed coffee, we love Folgers. Now we are just drinking instant.. Nice contest.
We’ve tried Folgers thrice and it was good all the time especially the brewed coffee. Can’t for the Jingle winner.
This is a really cool contest! I have always loved Folgers as it is then brand my parents always drank so the smell brings back memories of my childhood.
This brings back lots of memories of watching TV as a kid. I would always start singing along when I heard “the best part of waking up, is Folgers in your cup!” 🙂
The Folgers jungle has always been in my head and I have always loved it! I think this is a great contest!
Love Folgers coffee, have to have some to wake up! Love music too! Perfect contest!!
I totally remember the Foglers jingle, I’m that old. I’m a big fan of progress but hate that they’re going to remake the song. I get they want to be more in with the times but it’s iconic.
I definitely plan on entering. I wrote out my lyrics last night. Now I just have to add my music to it. Can’t wait to enter.
That is so good to know, Stephanie. Wishing you the best of luck! 🙂
I wish I was creative enough to commit to something like this! I couldn’t come up with a jingle for the life of me!
Sounds a good post. I really love Folgers coffee it makes me wake-up even if I’m so tired and relaxing for me
One of the most iconic tag lines in ad history, that’s a big set of shoes to fill.
I very seldom drink coffee, but this sounds like a fun contest, nonetheless! Plus, the prizes are simply amazing.
I remember the Folgers jingle from when I was a kid. Heck, sometimes someone will say something and it will pop into my head. 🙂
Thank you for sharing this appeal for a new jingle! My daughter loves creating little rhythms and songs – maybe she can participate and win!
Sounds like a fun contest. I love coffee and folders brand.. Can’t wait to enter!
I love Folgers. What a fun contest for
What an awesome contest! I drink Folgers fairly regularly – but I remember the jingle from when I was a kid! My mom used to drink it too so everytime I saw the canister I’d sing it
I love the Folgers jingle. I can’t wait to see what the contestants come up with.
I think this is a jingle no can forget! Its so catchy!
