<p>I was having a debate with my friend, and we couldn’t really come up with any except “There’s a little McDonald’s in everyone” , which was a Canadian thing.</p>
<p>I thought parents, who have a bit more life-experience than we do, could weigh in and suggest some of the more… silly… slogans they’ve seen</p>
<p>I wouldn’t say it’s stupid or even silly, but the current line that always makes people I’m with pause–and not in an immediately good way–is:* “No, the real question is: When you turn your car on, does it return the favor?”*</p>
<p>“make 7-Up Yours” with the ad campaign emphasis on the “up yours”</p>
<p>made my wife switch to Sprite</p>
<p>Back in the 60’s… the “I can’t believe I ate the WHOLE THING” campaign. Apparently binge eating was a big problem back then.</p>
<p><<back in=“” the=“” 60’s…=“” “i=”" can’t=“” believe=“” i=“” ate=“” whole=“” thing"=“”>></back></p>
<p>I actually have a picture of myself wearing a t-shirt with that slogan circa 1971 or so…</p>
<p>I hate that…so condescending and high-school. “You want to be known as a smart person…buy our insurance!” </p>
<p>Too smart to fall for that.</p>
<p>Army recruiting slogan: Army of One</p>
<p>What the heck did that mean? Gave no feeling of inclusion into something bigger than yourself. Now the commercials for the Marines have the right idea: “The few. The proud. The Marines.”</p>
<p>was the razor commercial that said “You can never be too thin”…****ed me off.</p>
<p>Not a slogan, but last night I watched a couple of the new Burger King TV ads where a store pretends not to sell Whoppers anymore and they tape real customers’ reactions. It’s pretty watchable for an ad series, and I say that as a vegetarian who hasn’t had a Whopper in 20 years. Here’s a longer version of it. I had no idea that people could be so sentimental/angry over a type of hamburger:

<p>Sam Adams - “Always a good decision.”</p>
<p>That always struck me as an awful slogan for a beer company.</p>
<p>edit -> I’m one of those people who would have said “Throw it away” if I’d been given a Wendy’s or McD’s burger. I go to Burger King for the Whopper.</p>
<p>Actually, H and I loved the “Mamma Mia, I can’t believe I ate the whole thing” (the one with the several retakes of someone eating spicy meatballs). It made us laugh every time.</p>
<p>Those new Burger King ads are great. Very watchable. </p>
<p>I liked the Sam Adams ad. Almost every time you see someone ordering a beer at a bar or restaurant, they pause to think about the different brands of beer before picking one. That slogan really stuck in people’s minds at the time, so when they’re deciding what type of beer to get they’ll remember the line “Sam Adams - Always a good decision,” and, well, there’s their choice. </p>
<p>I remember reading something that talked about the “Army of One” slogan, ellemenope. It said that after September 11, 2001 there was a big emphasis on country, freedom, etc. which the ads of the time soon reflected, but a couple of years later that faded and people/culture/society/whatever began to focus very much on The Individual and people’s individual power and abilities. I thought the same thing as you whenever I saw those ads, but I guess they really were trying to fit Americans at the time.</p>
<p>(I’m a bit of an ad junkie. I love good advertisements. :))</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>Calls to mind the image of some poor soldier who is heavily outnumbered by the enemy.</p>
<p>Actually, I kinda liked the Marines ad slogan of “We’re Looking for a Few Good Men,” not so much for its advertising value but for its historical context. That was the Marines original recruiting pitch back when they were first organized in 1775.</p>
<p>Quite some time ago (as in decades) Wendy’s ran a television ad campaign that featured someone biting into a hamburger, with tons of grease squirting out and flying around, while the voice-over excitedly said “Hot and Juicy!”</p>
<p>I have never eaten a Wendy’s hamburger since.</p>
<p>Where is the beef.(I still use that)</p>
<p>Show me the money.(not an ad slogan, but was very popular in my family for a while)</p>
<p>“Army of one” is the winner in my books.</p>
<p>And here is a really good local one. A couple of years ago, our state spent close to a quarter million bucks to come up with a slogan to promote tourism in Washington State. The result? …“Say WA!” Nedless tyo say, the slogan was retired faster than it could be printed on tourism-promoting brochures.</p>
<p>An anti-recruitment group in NYC turned the “Army of One” slogan into “Army of None” dogtags, that could be coupled with “You can’t be all that you can be if you’re dead” bracelets.</p>
<p>But yea, “army of one” doesn’t really inspire.</p>
<p>HeadOn! Apply directly to forehead. HeadOn!</p>
<p>Than again, I guess it’s not too stupid if I remember it so well.</p>
<p>Plop, plop, fizz, fizz, oh what a relief it is…</p>
<p>Alka Selzer</p>
<p>I also agree with “Where’s the beef?”</p>
<p>The fact that we remember and are talking about it now, good or bad, and KNOW the product name to boot, is proof that the campaign was pure genius.</p>
