QOD Friday 12-21 "COMPANY SLOGANS"

#1 Post by fantine33 » Fri Dec 21, 2007 8:37 am

I wanted to do one on advertising jingles, so I could title it "Jingle All the Way", but it's hard to give jingles that don't mention the product, like, 49586033 times. I wonder why?

So, here are some familiar (to me, anyway ha!) slogans, just give the company (or product name, as the case may be).

1. All the sugar and twice the caffeine.

2. What’s on the table, Mabel?

3. Leave the driving to us.

4. The toughest job you’ll ever love.

5. I'd rather fight than switch.

QOD: Think.

5 Point Bonus: From 1979 to 2003, this was GE’s official slogan.

5 Point Bonus Bonus: What slogan replaced it?

Some smarmy Eco Friendly thing with that frog hopping around the world.
Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.
