Anyone remember Chicken Tonight from Ragu? Can you believe this was from 1990? Have a look at the commercial I remember because of the policeman and the motocycle woman:

      It's still around in Europe, where it is more popular.

        Wow, forgot about that stuff. I haven't seen it in stores for years. Guess it didn't catch on for the US.

          I have to admit, I do like that commercial. Glad to hear that Chicken Tonight is still available in Europe. Seeing an old ad like that makes me hungry. I feel like Pizza Tonight.

            I think I may kinda remember that stuff, I'm not positive though. You sure can tell that the ad is old. Chicken Tonight does look tasty though! Thanks for posting this Ed.

              Maybe it was a certain flavor, but I don't remember liking it much. I know my mother got it before to cook with.

                        The only flavor that I liked was the sweet n sour chicken. I refused to try the chicken cachitorrie (I have NO idea how to spell that but i'm sure that's not even close). I haven't seen it in years. It does kind of make me feel gross now thinking about the ingrediants that are probably in that sugary gooey sweet n sour stuff but it sure did taste good.
                        :)

                          YES!!

                          That's why I keep thinking about Chicken Tonight, the sweet 'n sour was the only flavor I tried. Tons of sweet and not enough sour. I made dinner for Mary and her eyes almost fell outta her head as the sweet hit her tastebuds! Thank god I made a big pot of hot tea cuz we went through it that night. Woah, Candy Chicken! No dessert that night, LOL!

                          Thanks Alyssa_Branen! Your replies always seem to jog my memory for details.

                              Never had this stuff. I couldn't remember what that jingle was from. I wouldn't have guessed Ragu. All I can think of when I hear it is The Simpsons.

                                I totally remember that commercial. Sometimes (in public,I don't care ) I start singing the commercial and dancing.

                                  The original funky chicken! Gotta love the Simpson's version.
                                  Ever since AtariMan76 blew me away with that awesome reply,
                                  I haven't stopped laughing.
