And there's also Jiffy cornbread mix, which still exists. The Jif example doesn't resonate with me, but many people are certain about it, as certain as I am about other things that may not resonate with them. For me, the first big one was "Lucy, you got some splainin' to do", thanks to Norman_F_Dixon bringing it up on THESE boards. That got me down the rabbit hole, but the clincher was Redbone's "Come and Get Your Love." The word is "heeeeeey." ALWAYS been hey. Seemingly every cover of it is "hey." Go watch The Postman sometime, and listen during the community dance/party scene. They remember it was always HEY.
I think people are confusing “Jif” with “Skippy” to erroneously create “Jiffy”. (These were (are?) the two competing brands.)
