TV ads and commercials can put lingering taglines in our minds. In effect, these advertising campaigns can bring any product into fame and rising sales or profit. A famous commercial could also make its model an instant celebrity. Usually, only big companies and businesses can afford to put their product promotion on nationwide TV. This is because a recurring ad on TV may costs hundred thousands or millions of pesos. Expensive, isn’t it. But though this marketing campaign costs that high, the return on investment can be so rewarding. In the Philippines, TV commercials are part of the Filipinos way of life. We can see children mimicking commercial jingles and even teenagers having fun of those cool and humorous ads on TV.

The original song purchased for the commercial was “Finally,” CeCe Peniston’s first and biggest hit song of the 1990’s. It’s a perfectly chosen song for the Ariel jingle, with lyrics that go: “Finally, Ariel happened to me”. One wash clean sa labada for just 7.50. Finally, Ariel happened to me.
