1812, 1812

Just saw a break in which both Gardner-White Furniture and Detroit Area Honda Dealers Memorial Day sale event spots both use the 1812 Overture as bed music. The G-W spots are actually the legacy Art Van ones, so maybe they get dibs on using this public-domain theme in the Detroit market.
Honor our war heroes by buying furniture and cars, marketed with music by a Russian composer, that commemorates the defeat of a French general.

I hear ya, but ask 95%+ of the general furniture or car buying public if they know the title, who composed it, and what it commemorates. A few may actually know the title, but think it commemorates America's War of 1812. I'm sure several of a certain age may hear it as that Quaker puffed rice music!

Mainly thought it was funny hearing the same cliché music track for similar events in the same break.
Advertising geniuses thinking alike, inside the same box.
I had forgotten about Quaker's "Shot from Guns" puffed wheat/rice.

Maybe they are thinking that that is what you want to do in bed.
