Yesterday, June 3, Folgers sponsored the 'Best Part Of Waking Up' jingle contest. The contest was held at a live judging event in Times Square in New York. The contest winners were members of the Ethan Thompson Band after performing their original version of the 25-year-old iconic jingle. The band was presented with the $25,000 grand prize as the Next Folgers Jingle Star by Kara DioGuardi. The band also gets the chance to appear in a future Folgers commercial.
