I make billions (#4)
For years did a sharp little verse,
Grow fast in our ears like a curse,
A tune on TV,
Did subconsciously,
Cause all to spend much from their purse,Who / what am I?

After substituting inventive googling for youtube videos for my lack of TV savviness, I'm pretty sure this Billion Maker is
McDonald's.
The poem's solution is clearly something along the lines of
advertising jingle
and then there's the
acrostic "F-G-A-D-C", which seems to be the "I'm Loving It" jingle's tune.

$\begingroup$ @JS1 given that the video I linked to starts with TV examples of the tune in at least 5 different keys, one of which is exactly the one given, I'm really not sure the "sharp" verse needs to have anything to do with it. $\endgroup$– BassJun 29, 2019 at 10:22

1$\begingroup$ I guess maybe I didn't do enough research because I thought there was only one key. You have some impressive googling / youtubing skills btw! I need to make these harder too, you got it very fast! $\endgroup$– JS1Jun 29, 2019 at 10:33
