Truth in Advertising Slogans
A few days ago I looked at possible slogans for various college majors. Today we have something else I found online and took the opportunity to steal and gussy up ... advertising slogans for various products and services that are actually truthful ...
Ben and Jerry's: "Eat Away Your Feelings."
YouTube: "Don't read the comments!"
Victoria's Secret: "Lowering women's self-esteem since 1977."
Adobe Acrobat: "Would you like to update?"
Yahoo Mail: "Really, we only want your cell phone number in case you forget your password. Really."
Google: "Just try using another search engine."
LinkedIn: "Connect with people for absolutely no reason."
Men's Health: "Every issue promises perfect abs."
Yellow Pages: "Here; you throw this away."
ChapStick: "You'll lose it before it's empty."
Frosted Flakes: "They're ... okay."
iTunes: "I have not read the 45 pages of Terms and Conditions."
Netflix: "Spend more time searching than actually watching."
Harley Davidson: "We're here for your midlife crisis."
Gillette: "We'll just keep adding more blades."
Ikea: "We include extra parts just to mess with your head!"
Hummer: "Firmly plant your carbon footprint."
Urban Outfitters: "Pay good money to look homeless."
Old Spice: "Smell like Granddad."
Hallmark Cards: "When you care enough to give something mass-produced by a corporation."
I Can't Believe It's Not Butter: "I Can Believe It's Not Butter."
Bounty: "Bachelor Plates by the Roll."
The Republican Party: "If you're not with us, you're a gun-hating commiepinkoratbastard who hates America."
The Democratic Party: "Don't worry about how much it costs ... everything will work out."
Both Parties ...
