The very first Rice-A-Roni commercial - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

"Bell ringing sound effect"
"Rice A-Roni The San Francisco Treat"
"Rice A-Roni the flavor can't be beat"
"One Pan of boiling cooking ease"
"A flavor that is sure to please"
"Rice-A Roni The San Francisco Treat" "Bell ringing sound effect"
This jingle many of you know started the debut of a new type of entree that is still a huge seller today and many people still buy it. That is Rice-A Roni and the jingle is another one I found off my Teevee Toons The Commercials album and the debut commercial for Rice-A Roni is very cool with people singing the iconic jingle while riding a cable car through the streets of San Francisco. Thanks to this commercial Rice A-Roni became a hot seller and continues to sell strong today. Over the years Rice-A Roni has spun-off many different entrees including Noodle Roni and Pasta Roni which made it's debut in 1995 and has added many different flavors of Rice A-Roni which are still sold today. Believe it or not I used to be a fan of Rice A-Roni but i'm not so crazy about it now but my mom and dad often eat it sometimes with their dinners. But this commercial is a classic in itself

Here's a short TV commercial jingle that has now been forgotten, from the same company, advertising Noodle Roni -- which is now Pasta Roni (changed name of product):

"Noodle Roni
Fettuccini
A taste of old Italy...!"

Pasta Roni was Noodle Roni in the 80's? That's a surprise because Pasta Roni debuted in 1995 and I remember when those commercials aired Mom had wanted to try it and so she bought some Pasta Roni and she liked it and to this day Mom and Dad always eat it with sausage. But I'm not that crazy about Pasta Roni or Rice-A Roni as I used to be when I was a kid
Great and interesting info Biff. It's always nice to have a good friend like you provide interesting commercial facts

Hawkee, from what I can find online, Noodle Roni went back pretty far, even to the mid-1960s....! I can remember for sure buying it in the late 1980s.

Anyway, the name was indeed changed in 1995 to Pasta Roni. I make it occasionally because it's so easy to cook - I like the shells & white cheddar best.
