Chips Ahoy!
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chips Ahoy! is a brand of chocolate chip cookies made by Nabisco. They are widely sold in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Spain, Portugal and Australia (The Blue Bag type is also sold in the Stockmann store chain in Latvia and probably Finland and Estonia) and are marketed in large packages of 9, 18, 27, or in various smaller packages. The name comes from the implication they have more chocolate chips per cookie than average. It is the second-best-selling cookie in the United States, with an average of $355 million in sales per year.[1]
For a time in the mid-1990s, advertising labeled Chips Ahoy having "1,000 chips delicious!".
The acquired theme song for most of Chips Ahoy! commercials during its most popular time in the 1990s was a portion of the song "Sing, Sing, Sing" by Benny Goodman's jazz band in the 1930s.
