Ambiguous advertising slogans

[John Woods]

> I have always liked "Pepsi Free".
> If it is free of Pepsi, then what is it? Coke? 7-up?
> Your guess is as good as mine.

Though irreal, I've always wanted to hear the slogan:

New Content-Free Coke!
You're gonna drink it
Just 'cause we told you to!

You can't spell "vile" without "vi".

At the movies the other night, one of the little bits before the feature
was an reminder that Monday was "Date Night". It said in part:

"Bring your mother, wife, girlfirend, etc. and your date gets in free."

I don't care how much a movie costs, I don't think I'd bring my mom along
on a date. And if I had a wife, I wouldn't even want her to know I was
having a date.

I like: "When you're out of beer, that's the Schlitz."

My favorite is the sign in the no-name section of the supermarket:

Low price and quality!

But what about you ? In a dating situation, I'm your date and you are
my date. So we should both get in free !
And what about two guys/girls on a date ?
I certainly hope that no one pays on Monday night at this place

Oops.....My posting was not an advertising slogan. Sorry. I hope
you enjoyed it anyway.

I especially like: "No one sweats the details like GM."

You can read it either way.

My favorite comes from a gas station / mini market:

Eat here and get gas.
