This will not be believed, but there is a shop in Pueblo, Colorado that sells sells bolts, nuts, screws, etc. who have advertised for decades as, “Giving you the best screws around”. On a more “G” rated topic - I’ve always liked, “With a name like Smuckers, it’s got to be good.” I’ve never really understood it, but I’ve always liked it. ---

Australia’s biggest phone provider is Telstra, formerly the only phone company in Oz. Infamous for it’s sheer bloody-mindedness when it came customer service and complaints. They have only become worse since competition was introduced, yet they still have the gall to use the slogan: Making it easier ---

The one that’s ALWAYS bugged me… “Nobody doesn’t like Sara Lee!” Besides the attrocious grammar, the first few times I heard it I thought they said “Nobody _does it_ like Sara Lee!” – which despite the sexual innuendo (maybe that’s just me) would make a helluva better slogan. ---
