According to an article in Boston magazine, "1-800-54-Giant" is "the most recognizable jingle in the history of New England media". This jingle was also used as a recurring theme throughout Stephen King's book, "The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon".

Other well-known jingles by Vallario include East West Mortgage's "We're There When You Need Us", New England Subaru's "It's What Makes A Subaru A Subaru", and Ernie Boch Jr's "Come On Down".
