Alright, reader friends. How good is your memory? Your recall of advertising jingles and slogans from yesteryear?

Would you like to find out? If so, then take the “20 Test” that follows. Prizes for those of you who excel at this are listed at the end of this cerebral exercise.

Good luck now, you hear?

So. How do you think you did? I suspect those who are the most, ah, “mature” among us probably did the best. Some of the jingles and slogans went back quite a few years.

And for the winners, here are just some of the prizes:

1. Five of those “famous” hot dogs all-the-way, with 10 percent off the EMS transportation to the emergency room

2. Two nights at the Pinetown Hilton (pending occupancy availability)

3. A front row seat at one county commission meeting (you don’t have to accept this one)

4. An opportunity to help me muck out the family room of our cow condo

5. A week of substitute teaching in a large middle school
