how do Americans tolerate hearing the cars for kids jingle all the time?

1. I don’t even know what you are talking about, so I don’t think people hear it as much as you might think.

2. You are evil. Why would you mention this?

3. I have no clue what this is, and I’ve lived on both coasts and outside the lower 48 states. I would guess that this is probably a very localized jingle? how were you made aware of this jingle?

4. I don’t. The first notes are an immediate “change the !*€?#%! station”

5. i change the channel and vow never to donate to them out of spite purely because of that annoying fucking jingle.

6. I agree with you, but advertising executives are a different and sadistic breed of human being.

7. It’s Kars 4 Kids, I’ll have you know!

   But unfortunately it is [not a very good charity](https://www.charitynavigator.org/ein/223746050).

8. I’ve never heard it in the wild. I don’t listen to radio and I don’t watch much TV, though.

9. Idk what that is

10. It’s a terrible song, but I’ve probably heard it less than five times in my life.

11. Mute. I’m really good at turning the volume down very quickly.

12. The what now? I have no idea what you are referring to.

13. I can’t tell you the last time I saw a commercial with the sound on that wasn’t just a “sponsored segment” of a youtube video. It was probably 10+ years ago.

    I don’t watch live television or listen to AM/FM radio.

14. I have no idea what this is.

15. Shouting or screaming over it or muting the audio for a while.

16. I wanted to call and complain about this Cars for Kids ad, but I couldn’t find their phone number. Anybody know it?

17. I just sing along, and rock out to that little fiddle solo during the voiceover.

    Don’t threaten me with a good time!

18. [This](https://youtu.be/jEjAKtHhTGg) is the one that I still hear in my head 15 years later. I’ll give ’em credit, I still remember the phone number.

19. We don’t. We all wish we were dead.

20. One, eight, seven, seven….

    You’re all welcome

21. Burboun. Lots of it

22. I start yelling to drown it out and change the station when it comes on. It’s unbearable and gets stuck in my head for days.

23. 1

24. I don’t remember the last time I’ve heard it. I’ve got Adblock for YouTube and don’t watch much of anything that has an ad. I also listen to Apple Music so there are no ads on that

    I see enough advertising on the subway

25. I didn’t know they had a jingle, I’ve seen their ads before but I guess I’ve been spared from their jingle.

26. Because the program is really good for those in need. Especially with the gas prices these days, being able to trade in your children for reliable transportation is a big help for those less fortunate.

27. I haven’t heard it recently, because I don’t listen to the radio that much. But when I did hear it yes it was indeed annoying! Almost as annoying as “The song that never ends” .

28. I was completely against trigger warnings until this post.

29. I don’t remember the last time I watched or listened to an advertisement like that.

30. Realized that I haven’t heard this jingle in _years_.

    ​

    Thank you, Spotify and Plexamp, for helping me keep a tenuous grasp on what little sanity I have left.

31. You can always find a station where they aren’t among the advertisers.

32. I have never heard it.

33. Lol the devil works hard but Kars4Kids works harder.

34. I’ve never heard it on the radio in Ohio. And I drive an old car so I listen to a lot of radio for someone under 50 lol

35. I’ve never heard of a cars for kids jingle. JG Wentworth on the other hand should be starting up around now.

36. Never heard of it

37. Wildly envious of the people who have never heard of the K4K jingle. There’s a reason it’s the [official anthem of hell](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDjX4-LKqCA).

38. 1-877-Kars for Kids, K-A-R-S Kars for Kids.

    It haunts me.

39. We don’t. It’s horrible. Fuck you very much for even reminding me about it

40. It is not that bad. 😆
