I like that Hills commercial. Its jingle is classic. My mom took my brother and I to a Hills store in the old days.

@Furiousblue42 i recall the hills in niagara falls, the abandoned building is still there....and stores are open in the strip mall that's attached to the side...we used to get yelled at by various employees of hills and this plaza as teens for skateboarding on the walkways....

I recall the one on G-Urban, next to Wegmans.

And I always loved the ICBINB ad... "I've been eating butter for 48 years... 47 and 1/2, etc."

However, being from the NY area myself, the last part with Irv could use the last few strains of the then-discofied "Cool Hand Luke-Tar Sequence" EWN theme, à la WABC.

I remember Hills on Delaware.
