Slogan Game!

Susurus

Susurus

Resolution:6.62×10^-34
Rules:

1. Post a brand's company slogan or advertising campaign tag-line.

. Don't post the brand--that's the fun part! See how long it takes AK'ers to get it.

2. If you respond to the thread, please add another brand's slogan. That way we'll find them all...


I'll seed with:

(1) "Sound As Clear As Light"

This one is from a sales campaign, from way back when, from a local audio dealer in OKC, but I think it fits here. (I think it was "Linda Soundtrack")

"Hock your pants and buy a ______"

They gave a discount to anyone who brought in a used pair of jeans.

Regards,

D-Ray that one's not in my wetware knowledge base! :sigh:

And this is all for fun so sure, why not campaign phrases? --Some brands didn't adopt an 'official' slogan.

bryblob Yep, ESS of course. :thmbsp: What the initials stand for is often misquoted though... and of course your addition to the list is from one of my early favorites...

To follow my own rule 2... err okay... how about:

(4) “High End at Low Cost”

There was a chain of record shops here in the 70s that claimed: "We sell records like cornflakes". I was never sure how to interpret that!
 
Here's one that oughta bring a smile to many a, dare I say, older AKer. "....Better Living Through Chemistry."
 
Four letter British speaker company, solely hand built by the owner, sadly no longer with us (company or fella)-

Tagline-

"****, the best loudspeakers you never heard of...."
