Peek Freans Are A Very Serious Cookie

Remember this jingle, from the 1980's? Now it'll be stuck in your head like an ear-worm for the rest of the day.

[@JTrost1234]

This jingle is still in my head from 1983.

[@cookevac1327]

I will never forget because my friends felt I was too serious in middle school and made Peek Frean my nick name.

[@Rastafariministries77]

This song is one of the many memories of my wonderful childhood with my mom and dad bringing me from Jamaica to be raised in Brooklyn.God I miss those two Priceless Angels.

[@rocketcab]

.... I've been waiting a very long time for someone to post this jingle.... Thank you so much for this copy.... and the pictures, too !!!

[@barbaracondon5583]

I'm 56 and I actually remembered the song as soon as the reference was made on Scorpion and YES, I feel old now!

[@gooperella]

I named my cat Peek Frean because when she was a kitten she always had a serious look on her face so I kept calling her a Serious Cookie. This jingle has been in my head since around 1979. I think it’s strictly an east coast cookie.

[@pocapaypay]

Lol. Scorpion is sending everyone here.

[@nancypayton5272]

omg - Scorpion fans ! Peek Freans !! they're real! - Are still being made? where can I get them?

[@aliciaweiss326]

Absolutely, Scorpion reminded me; hadn’t thought of this in years, but just had to hear it NOW!

[@jock1645]

All of the Scorpion references are great. I watched the episode and was actually singing the song after Gallo mentioned them. I used to love this commercial!!

[@mamadousembene]

Serious😇😇

[@dianehutchinson8661]

I had to go looking for this after I watched the episode again today.

[@davidcrieder]

​@@dianehutchinson8661i know how u feel, man...i know how you feel......man....fuck yeah!

[@9Hihat2]

Thank you Jim and Sam

[@gerryaire]

that was some serious piano playing

[@rcarlin1966]

I never heard of Peek Freans until I saw this episode of Scorpion.

[@tammyjohnson6241]

I started singing the jiggle as soon as i heard it on scorpion.... had to play it for my husband who doesn't remember it.

[@DontSuMe]

Me too & he's older!

[@leighhartung4755]

As a kid, listening to this song, I used to wonder, what makes Peek Freens “serious?” I still wonder.

[@michelel.egerton6369]

I remember this commercial! LOL Sang it word-for-word, too! They'd just made a reference to Peek Freans tonight on the TV show Scorpions on CBS.

[@shilohiv]

Michele L. Egerton I can't believe this - Scorpions brought me here too! TV is a lot more fun when you can instantly check out things like this.

[@michelel.egerton6369]

shilohiv WORD! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[@peachmelba16]

This never leaves your brain after hearing it..

[@mystereee1479]

De La Soul. Veeery serious. Like a Peek Freane!

[@billiessoap6353]

Of course scorpion is why we're here....none of us are old enough to have gotten the joke.

[@dadoctah]

I'm 55 and I never heard of Peek Freans (or Peak Freens as CBS close-captioned it) until the bit on Scorpion.

[@johnow7]

dadoctah I am 47 and had no idea.

[@DontSuMe]

dadoctah I'm over 50 & loved the cookies before the catchy commercial. Peek Freans are British; I am not. They sold in grocery stores all over the northeastern USA. Haven't seen them this century >:(

[@johnow7]

Su Mayf Maybe that is why I never heard of them. I grew up in Los Angeles and southern Georgia.

[@barbaralogan3733]

Su Mayf I loved them, too! especially the coffee sandwich cookie! Wish they still were available. :-(

[@bubmac2]

It took me two months to remember the name of this freakin cookie, so i could put it to rest now.. I was NJ in mid 80's. Now i have to "Come on out to the Keanesburg Amusement Park" and i'll be all set!

[@maristella287]

I got my family into McVities and Now Peak Freens!!!

[@ginaruben6847]

I totally remember both the cookies and the song. Mid 80's.

[@Ribakava]

Anyone here because of 'scorpion'? :D

[@benjaminlehmann]

+Ribakava Yup

[@petro1257]

+Ribakava Yep! LOL

[@MWolfe-rd4jb]

Of course! ;)

[@BaZerionHellraiser]

Yeap

[@CrzyZeke]

Yeah.... I slightly remember this cookie. but ummmmm never the phrase

[@Bytor2112Snowdog]

Jim Norton brought me here!

[@whitetownent]

Bytor2112Snowdog same

[@j_west7219]

Same

[@arlenroth8373]

One of the greatest jingles!

[@w11granny67]

Used to have this brand in Scotland when I was a girl but haven't seen them for decades.

[@ironeo]

U had me cracking up, I cant believe u digged this comercial up LoL

[@jajohnsoniii]

Had to pause this recorded episode of Scorpion to see what the hell he was talking about. And this definitely isn't from the eighties. No way in hell. I'm 49 years old and I have NEVER heard of Peak Freans.

[@barbaralogan3733]

So because you've never heard of them, they didn't exist?? LOL!! You didn't live in New England! They were around in the 70s, as well! Follow this link: www.peekfreans.com/us_index.htm Before you say "No way in hell", do your research! The company has been around since 1857!

[@gojoe2833]

I think I remember this jingle from the mid-1970s!

[@iamkdm1882]

darn you Robert Patrick!!!!

[@Adam-ke6uh]

I can't get this out of my headdddd

[@nerdjesus996]

This is stuck in my head now. Thanks a lot Jimmy.

[@robertfstrickland6207]

Loved that as a kid lol

[@GoMooflower]

I never ate one but started singing the jingle as soon as Scorpion mentioned it. My husband had never heard of them, even tho we're the same age (50's) and both from the Northeast.

[@needam973]

A line from a De La Soul song brought me here.

[@kbarham]

It is all COOKIE CUTTER!!! Thanks, Little Jimmy.

[@waleedarif6740]

The golden age of biscuits has long gone but this is not what matters nowadays. If a lot of old biscuits came back to life and started being sold in supermarkets then that would probably mean that we're disrespecting history. Those biscuits were too good to be continued. Who can't admit that?

[@TheGrandBagel]

My nostalgia of peek freans brought me here

[@pranksarecool1]

Scorpion fans are taking over the video! lol that's some good advertisement

[@tomada36]

Excellent find!

[@Soxruleyanksdrool]

Love me some Peak Freens.

[@ptakers]

Frrrrrrrrrunkis

[@DontSuMe]

I loved these cookies as well as the commercial (way back then)! Equally happy to see them featured in a British historical fiction (The Gresham Chronicles by L. Blackwell). Order a tin; they're whimsical! ^_~

[@Juli414]

I am shocked that I don't remember this. I came here via Google, because a character in "Scorpion" mentioned the jingle.

[@elaineh2550]

Bklosky08 ditto.. i have never heard of these. maybe it was a regional thing?

[@TheCrispyChip]

Elaine H i love peek freans!

[@elizabetharmstrong6714]

Me too.

[@elizabetharmstrong6714]

Watching it now, to see what they were saying. Reruns come in handy. LOL

[@AnnieHi]

I was laughing my butt off when he said it and, sad to say, I remembered every single word of the commercial...LOL

[@iwanttobelieve9496]

So.....I DIDN'T make this jingle up in my head? It actually happened?? *relieved sigh*

[@agentlead]

thank you. this jingle just popped in my head randomly. this satisfied my urge.,

[@sqwashsilver]

Very serious

[@petermarengo2227]

[@stevenmorgans931]

lol, I'm frankly amazed to see that there were hits on this from before that episode of Scorpion aired

[@barbaralogan3733]

I've been hoping to find them for years! Were they on the TV show called Scorpion? I've not watched it.

[@4Stanzas]

I call serious people Peek Freans, because they're very serious cookies. They don't get it since they're, you know, so serious.

[@nigelsaunders3573]

Goddamn O & J sent me here...linger longer!

[@Scottjazz55]

I just looked this up because of Scorpion tv show.

[@samgj15]

Yeah, same here

[@Ribakava]

+The Drum Professor me toooooo

[@benjaminlehmann]

+The Drum Professor yup. me too

[@billybelcaro9585]

I plan to be a grown up. Getting there… just turned 50.

[@richardbetensky4247]

Angelo Dave and bracke E love the peek freans... Because they are a serious cookie

[@christopherallen5521]

When i was going to the University of Southern California, I had an old clock radio to wake up. Peek Freens was often the song that did it. I was from Idaho and don’t remember the jingle nor do i remember the cookie back in Idaho!

[@Daddymcc]

LOL, another Scorpion fan just found this

[@chrisrand8884]

Scorpion FTW

[@ironwork92000]

Lmao, I remember this commercial as a kid 🙄🙄🙄

[@yoiamthedude]

Scorpion Rocks! Of course it will get cancelled like every show I like. Oh and I want some Peek Freans!

[@honokatheanimelover6754]

Aged like a fine wine.

[@Flemtality]

Fawk yeah.

[@Contrafactum]

Thanks Mitch Leigh.

[@timdysart6860]

Thanks Jimmy

[@Sparkina]

Ageism dialed up to 1000. As a kid, I had Peek Freans Fruit Cremes and thought they were DIVINE

[@merrymary6542]

Scorpion is intriguing. Don't remember the cookie or jingle, but maybe it's a regional thing, not advertised in Florida. The cookies are for sale through Amazon.

[@barbaralogan3733]

They were in the New England area, great cookies!

[@IBringNothing2DaTabl]

Hey Peek Freans, why so serious or sumthin... Tsst Tsst Tsst

[@CokeDrkrNotSnrtr]

IBringNothing2DaTabl fawkin homerun!

[@OldLadyRocker]

For some reason this song came in my head. Now, does anyone know if the jingle from Burrys cookies is available? It went, I think that I'm gonna shout my Burrys cookies ran out! I've got the Burry blues...

[@Dooley]

I feel so bad I could shout, my Burry's cookies ran out... I've got the Burry blues.

[@gavinrahmings]

Watched "Scorpion'' just wanted to see if they were real.Really who ever thought of tthis should have been fired, they might been still around.lol

[@ZandZEquineandRescues]

Damn you Lil Jimmy

[@DJKento]

stuck in my god damn head again...

[@yoiamthedude]

I remember Peek Freans but I'm almost as old as Gallo.Seriously

[@NicK-vc1he]

Colin Quinn sent me here.

[@pennypay1]

Ah, thank you! I haven't heard this jingle since 1985, or was it '86? It seemed it was constantly on while I was spending the summer with my dad and grandma. I was in my mid-teens then and had no intention of giving up my non-serious Oreos, but appreciated more 'grown up' cookies too.

[@ronnydarko9046]

Do it for the Chippah!

[@Dooley]

Who remembers "MORE PARKS SAUSAGES MOM..........PLEEEEEEEASE?"

[@Voxtender]

I just used this with a work colleague, explaining that someone we both work with, is a Very Serious Cookie... They had no idea what I was talking about... so I sent them the jingle. Heh.

[@nonokitty]

did anyone else think it said freak peans? lol! jimmy this is too cute! i am dancing right now

[@jesonmiranda]

yup same as me. Scorpion led me here

[@johnfitzgerald3887]

aaaaaaaah, for the love of god make it stop, make it stop.

[@omnimatty]

[@Doc3451]

[@Llackk]

[@deanosaur808]

They are Biscuits! 😂 This this must be for the American market. The jingle would get banned in the UK 😝 Say it after me.. BISCUITS! 🤣

[@KPTrainham]

Peckas...

[@38ddkelly]

It's Freak Peens!

[@Dredogmor1]

[@lifewithmominanooreh9316]

Best brand

[@circamuffin]

Christ, at least The Ropers theme didn't have lyrics.

[@poopstainmcgoo]

I'm only a few seconds in and I can already tell this is going to be a problem.

[@vernonaverill374]

Never heard of Peek Freans. By the time the 80's rolled around, I was out of the teen munchies drug scene and had moved on to adult I-ain't-hungry drugs. ☺ Found on the 'net ~~ Thank you for visiting www.kraftfoods.com/ and for your interest in PEEK FREANS Biscuits. It's great to hear from consumers who are looking for our products because it lets us know how much you enjoy them. The tough part comes when we have to share the news that the product you're trying to find has been discontinued. ~~ posted circa 2006

[@jimborgmann178]

[@etraziel]

+Jim Borgmann Me too ahahahaha 😂

[@fied1k]
