Funny you brought this up, a co-worker sent me some old adverts yesterday/

"These people are smiling because they eat lard!" (American lard council)
"A better life through chemicals" (Dow)
"Blow in her face and she'll follow you anywhere" (Cigar ad)
"Life is what happens while you're making plans for later."

This was from a radio ad for Corn Nuts about 6 years or so ago....



"Bust a nut, bust a nut! Grab a bag of Cornnuts and bust a nut! They're lightly toasted and hard as well! :crunch: Enjoy yourself, we won't tell!"



--actually, it is an awesome jingle. :D

There was a sign outside a tiny rural gas station in Arkansas that was hand painted and read "Hep yer sef". I have a picture of it somewhere. It always makes me smile for some reason.

I hope you are not making fun of that slogan... Unless of course you ride your horse to drink from a river wearing wooden clogs and trap squirrels for food.

Sorry back on topic.

I heard a radio advertisment for a baldness remedy that ended with the phrase "Guaranteed imperceptible results". Well if I wont percieve results, why use it?

I think they meant that it would be gradual results that wouldnt be percieved as "Hey you have hair today" but who knows. Maybe they're just honest folks.

Saw this on a sign in Maine:

"Don't like the paper industry? Try wiping with plastic."

"A better life through chemicals" was the catch phrase of half the dopers in the Midwest after those billboards went up in the late '70s :)

Trap squirrels for food? :D

Every Birminghamian remembers the TV ads done by a local redneck furniture retailer about 15 years ago.
The owner/spokesman would say "Ronnie Marchent Furniture, we have everwhatcha need."

Yeah, T-Buff was worse, but Ronnie gave him a run for the money with his perpetual going out of business sales.

Neither holds a candle to the more recent Suzuki Man, though.

"i'm lovin' it"

That has to be the worst use of English by a company that nearly preaches bilingualism since... well, since the dawn of time.
