Eat 'n Park Christmas Commercial

The other night I was out to dinner with some random coworkers and discovered that 4 out of 8 of us were from Pennsylvania. Somehow we got into the discussion about the holidays, and how when you're from PA, and especially Pittsburgh, you don't officially know that it's Christmastime until you see the Eat 'n Park Christmas tree commercial. Check it out:


If you are from the Pittsburgh tri-state area then you know exactly what I'm talking about. If you're not you're probably asking "what the hell is an Eat 'n Park. That name makes no sense." The name has been debated for years now, and I still don't think there is an answer. Why isn't it called Park 'n Eat? Isn't that the logical order of things? My friends in college and I also had the debate over the correct emphasis on the name, and pretty much drove each other crazy saying it over and over again. "Is it EAT n park?" or is it "eat n PARK?" The world may never know.

Are there certain commercials or jingles that you wait for every year?
