There used to be a ad for an auto body repair, Maaco. Their ad would end with spelling out the name, but in the middle were horns honking, "M double A (Beep Beep) C O" Fucking hated that ad.
The fact that you remember this is exactly why they will keep doing it. Remember: ads are psychological warfare.
But he got the chain wrong :)
Alternate view: they hate the wrong chain, ergo the ad still worked.
I hate ads. And now hate Maaco & Aamco too.
Unfortunately for any ads that try to pull this shit on me these days, my brain automatically overwrites the memory of it with the OG rage-inducing advertisement
"Head on, apply directly to the forehead!"
Nah it was similarly-named Aamco.
"Double A (beep beep) M C O"
