Ever notice how much of American business' commerce depends on just a few words with massive exposure?
What would the U.S. economy be like without all the words, slogans, and catchphrases conjured up by ad agencies? In most cases, you probably would never have a reason to use them in actual everyday conversation.
I've compiled a list, entirely by memory, to show just how dependent business is on simple English language. Some may be regional, and others may be unfamiliar if you're under 40.
I'm deliberately leaving out the sponsors' names in this list to illustrate just how a seemingly few words can affect the well-being of so many.
The List:
You'll wonder where the yellow went.
We really move our tail.
Come to where the flavor is.
Go with the mileage maker.
Fly the friendly skies.
When it rains, it pours.
In your heart you know he's right.
A little dab'll do ya.
Two for me, none for you.
Things go better.
For those who think young.
All us cows do our best.
It's the water.
Helps build strong bodies 12 ways.
Welcome, fellow Americans.
Fair and balanced.
You're gonna like us!
We're still the one.
America's fine light beer.
His master's voice.
Stronger than dirt.
America's game.
I love this game!
Snap, crackle & pop.
Progress is our most important product.
We've seen the future, and it works.
You will.
Glory be! It's caffeine free!
Change we can believe in.
America first.
Friday isn't Fry Day anymore.
It's not how long you make it, but how you make it long.
I'd rather fight than switch.
Take a puff, it's springtime.
I'd walk a mile.
Outstanding. And, they are mild.
It's only for a woman.
You've come a long way, baby.
We take better care of your car.
A silly millimeter longer.
The best to you each day.
A little bit better than any other cereal happens to be.
Over, under, around and through.
The Great Race place.
Go Baby, Go!
Where the turf meets the surf.
The Amigo country.
Where kids are king.
Land of mystery.
You deserve a break today. (good place to stop.)
It's meant to be a fun list. Hope it jarred a few memories.
