WE BRING GOOD THINGS TO LIFE
Interesting how many people said "light", I think more than said the correct one. It's kind of like "Nobody doesn't/does it like Sara Lee".

IMAGINATION AT WORK
Since almost everybody knew the old one (or a variation of it) and maybe three people knew the new one, I think GE needs to take a cue from IBM and stick with what works.
Nobody got a zip today, we're all conspicuous consumers! YAY!
