Okay, readers, this is totally random…but time for a little game. Let’s use our imagination…(put on your widdle pwetend hats…)
Let’s pretend we have this mediocre product to sell–say, a brand of sugar-free gum. Our gum came in 4th place in national taste tests.
We’ll call it–Smackers.
Smackers® Sugar-Free Gum.
Now…we’re the advertising crew. And our job is to come up with a slogan for Smackers® Sugar-Free Gum. But the fact is, we suck just as bad as the gum does. So we come up with all these slogans that are doomed to fail.
That’s the game, folks. Come up with a slogan that will make people run away from Smackers® Sugar-Free Gum.
This could be fun.
Think about it…what slogan could you create that would get you fired from the Smackers® contract?
Here are a few examples I have come up with for your amazement amusement:
- Smackers Gum–We’re Number Four!
- Smackers Gum–Hey, It’s Better than Cud…
- Smackers Gum–Recommended by 15% of All Dentists Nationwide
- Smackers Gum–Not Legally Liable If You End Up Getting Cavities
- Smackers Gum–The Momentary Flavor Will Leave You Asking for More
Get the idea? 🙂

Smackers Sugar-free Gum: It would taste better if it had sugar, but we wanted to be politically correct.
wv: mistsp – the gum probably taste better if the mistsp (missed teaspoon) of flavor had been put in.
