Morton’s Salt.

Hudepohl is the beer to have when you’re having more than one.

Now, which publication has “All the news that’s fit to print,” and which one has “All the news that fits?”

IIRC, it’s a reference to an advertisement that appears several times in the course of _Robocop_, although I haven’t seen the film for some time and so can’t remember offhand the product or service being advertised. I do recall the line coming up several times, though.

Respectively, _The New York Times_ and _Rolling Stone_.

“Touching is good.”

“Good for Life!”
