More Failed Slogans


Product slogans that didn't last that long. You probably don't even remember seeing them.

Heinz - "For the record, it's fucking pronounced KETCHUP not Catsup"

Netflix - "Going to the movies sucks, watch one at home"

Craftsman - "Don't let a woman touch these tools"

Hanes - "If only walking around in your underwear in public was acceptable"

Pizza Hut - "Made with 70% imitation cheese"

Maybelline - "If you are already ugly, our products won't help you"

Dannon - "We put the fruit on the bottom because we are lazy just like you"

Apple - "We could promote a cardboard phone and you would buy it"

Toyota - "Eli Manning is our sponsor because Peyton and Archie declined our offers"

Colgate - "For whiter teeth, go to the dentist"

What's worse is that Apple could make that their logo, then release an empty box, and people would still buy it.

I believe the Hanes one.

That Apple one is spot on. Also, I feel like Netflix's should be a little expanded:

Netflix - "Going to the movies sucks, watch one at home... for the same price, but with a ton of shitty options. Who wants to see Surf Ninjas 3?"

too funny-of course netflix are for the movies made after 2009 all the others are unimportant. How sad....

I'll be honest I am torn on the 'Ketchup' or 'Catsup' thing - can we have an official ruling in the OXFORD dictionary?? You ought to make your 'slogans that never caught on' a regular feature! Good Stuff. W.C.C.

They are all good, but sadly, the Apple one is so true. Just put a newer version number on it...
