This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Chiquita Bananas. All opinions are 100% mine.
I love bananas! The only banana brand that I remember eating since I was a kid was Chiquita! In 1944, the now famous jingle was released, along with Miss Chiquita, and it was a hit! Americans used the song to learn how to eat the–then–new and exotic tropical fruit. At it's peak, this song was played 376 times a day on the radio all across the United States! An ad agency team led by Robert Foreman created the song. Foreman and his staff developed the jingle using office talent, an old piano and a box of paper clips shaken to simulate maracas. Garth Montgomery wrote the lyrics and co-worker Len MacKenzie provided the music. The singer in the original 1944 recording was Patti Clayton, the first in a long line of Miss Chiquitas.
