You know those catchy sayings that retail stores and food service brands use to get people to remember them and buy their products? They're called slogans. Some of them are cute, like that '90s store Limited Too (It's a girl's world!). However, there are some companies that didn't think when making their slogans, like Abercrombie & Fitch with their slogan "Casual luxury" -- It really should be "Abercrombie & Fitch, where our sizes are 00, 000, bulimic, anorexic and malnourished" (yes, they actually have size 000 jeans).
So without further ado, here are some other companies like A&F who had their heads up their a**es when they made their slogans:
Nike - "Just Do It."
I find this slogan to be a bit vague. I mean, what is Nike encouraging us to do exactly? Rob their store? Have unprotected sex? Dropkick a baby? I don't know.
A&P Food store - "Freshness you can taste, value you can trust."
Well, obviously we couldn't trust the freshness or value of their products since they filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and had to go out of business.
Petco - "Where the (healthy) pets go."
I'm sure everyone (at least I hope everyone) remembers when Petco's slogan was "Where the pets go." But thanks to someone (probably Obama), they changed it to "Where the healthy pets go." What about the unhealthy pets? Are they banned from the store? I sense discrimination here.
Maybelline - "Maybe she's born with it, maybe it's Maybelline!"
No, no, no, it's definitely Maybelline. First of all, there's no way anyone looks that beautiful (yes, Maybelline models, I'm talking to you), but I've seen some people who clearly aren't wearing any makeup (like Honey Boo Boo's Mama June) and I just want to reach out and give them makeup products. Although not even Maybelline can fix up Mama June.
MasterCard - "For everything else, there's MasterCard."
Dear MasterCard, have you forgotten about your other rival credit card companies, like Visa, American Express and Discover? What if a store doesn't accept MasterCard? Then it can't be used for everything else now, can it?
Google - "Don't be evil."
This slogan is lesser known by people, but it still exists. But honestly, they couldn't come up with something more original? "Don't be evil" sounds like something a parent would say to their child who is acting up. Also, the slogan is not going to stop people from googling things like porn and leaked celebrity nudes. Nice try, Google.
Omegle - "Talk to strangers!"
I wish I was kidding when I said the video chat room's slogan is "Talk to strangers." Although I can understand why they picked this slogan (I mean, how else are you going to make friends if you don't talk to strangers), the slogan is more applicable for real life and not an internet chat room. Talking to strangers online is also super shady - one minute you think you're talking to Ryan Reynolds then the next moment you find out he's just another one of the many fat, bearded pedophiles lurking on the web.
McDonald's - "I'm Lovin' It."
Once I saw the video of how McDonald's chicken nuggets were made (does anybody remember the pink slime video that went viral?), I'm not exactly lovin' it. OK, maybe that's a lie - they do taste good. I'll let this one slide.
Kellog's Frosted Flakes - "They're G-R-R-REAT!"
Not necessarily so. They may taste good, but there's 26 grams of carbs and 12 grams of sugar per three-fourths cup serving. You know damn well that kids are eating more than that piddly little serving (in all fairness, I always eat more than the recommended serving size on anything) and the famous flakes are really nothing but pure sugar. So kids eat that in the morning, have a sugar rush in the morning, then by the afternoon they're passed out at their desk at school after the sugar crash. Maybe they're not so g-r-r-reat.
Wal-Mart - "Save money. Live Better."
Of course I'm going to end by making fun of the store notorious for attracting the lowest of the low people.
Not gonna lie, I've gotten some pretty good deals at Walmart before. But whenever I walk into the store, I can tell that people are saving money but not actually living better. I mean, have you seen some of the people shopping around there? Look up "Walmart customers" and you'll see what I mean.
