I recently read an article touting some of the best advertising slogans in the world and I don’t disagree, I just thought I would add my own spin on them.
1. McDonalds – “I’m Lovin’ It” – But it ain’t loving me.
2. KFC – “Finger Lickin’ Good” – Depends if I washed my hands before dinner or not.
3. Subway – “Eat Fresh” – Fresh what?
4. John Deere – “Nothing runs like a Deere” – Unless I just hit it with my car.
5. Kay Jewelers – “Every kiss begins with Kay” – And Mary, and Janet, and Diane, and Peggie…….
6. Skittles – “Taste the Rainbow” – Taste it? I can’t even find it!
7. Staples – “That was easy” – Should be “That was annoying!”
8. DeBeers – “A diamond is forever” – And so is the debt.
9. Dr Pepper – “What’s the Worst That Could Happen?” – If you have to ask you haven’t lived.
10. Ivory Soap – “99 and 44/100% pure” – At least they’re honest about it, but what’s in the other 0.56%?
11. Typhoo – “You Only Get an ‘OO’ With Typhoo” – Not necessarily.
12. E.F. Hutton – “When E.F. Hutton talks, people listen” – What was that? I wasn’t listening.
13. Clairol – “Does she or doesn’t she?” – Does she or doesn’t she what?
14. Nissan – “Built For The Human Race” – No Really?!
15. Energizer Batteries – “It keeps going… and going… and going” – And never comes back.
16. FTD – “Say It With Flowers” – Or sling an insult with weeds.
17. Chevrolet – “The Heartbeat of America” – It was until they moved to other countries. Have they not seen Detroit lately?
18. American Express – “Don’t leave home without it” – Thanks for the advice, but I can think of other things I would rather not leave the house with.
19. Nike – “Just Do It” – Actually it should be….Nike – “Just do it naked”
20. HSBC – “The World’s Local Bank” – Uh not quite, there isn’t a branch in my town.
21. Chevrolet – “See the USA in your Chevrolet” – As long as it doesn’t break down.
22. Alka Seltzer – “I can’t believe I ate the whole thing” – Neither can I.
23. Capital One – “What’s in your wallet?” – That is none of your business!
24. Gatorade – Is it in you? – Not anymore I just flushed the urinal.
25. Greyhound – “Leave the driving to us” – Of course that’s why you hire bus drivers.
