Weirdest slogan you've ever seen...
Edited on Tue Oct-24-06 11:32 AM by NewWaveChick1981
The winner for me is a billboard I saw on US Highway 70 heading to the NC coast some years back. It was for King's Barbecue, and it advertised their food and their location. Right in the middle of the billboard, it said, "WE LOVE CHILDREN! TRY OUR BABY BACK RIBS!" :yoiks: Ummmm... kids check in but they don't check out???? :rofl: Maybe they should call it Sweeney Todd Barbecue...

1. Hmm...
I'm sure I can think of something better, but I'm gonna go with "Suck a Sunny Day" for now, even though it wasn't really a slogan.

3. "Blind Man Driving"
Saw this on a truck with caution signs all over it. Turns out, it was for a company that makes venetian blinds, and the company was called "The Blind Man". But the truck was sitting in front of me at a stoplight and when I first read the sign that said "Caution: Blind Man Driving" it freaked me out.

14. "Jesus Is Coming And Grandma's Cooking!"
On 1-75 near the Florida/Georgia border, for a truck stop. I saw the sign in 1993, so it might not be there anymore.

I should have stopped, the food was probably really good. Say what you want about the south, but they sure do cook some good food.

20. OK, but it's naughty......
There used to be an ad and the slogan was "Americans don't want to just survive, they want to suceed!"

Which I always heard as "suck seed".... and wondered if it was appropriate to mention blow jobs on TV. But it always made me laugh.

Khash.

21. My favorite is for a local church...
Edited on Tue Oct-24-06 05:21 PM by youthere
they advertise in the local monthly newsletter:

"Come join us for worship if you need something to do."

I just keep thinking..this is the best they could come up with?

24. "Do you have foul emissions coming from your rear end?"
"Our techs can help your car, but you'll have to wait outside"

This was at a muffler/exhaust shop in south St. Louis. I almost drove off the road laughing.

25. Welcome to our "ool". Notice there's no "P" in it. Let's keep it that way.
Actual sign hung from the gate of a swimming pool I worked at when I was in high school.

28. Here's a couple local signs...
"Ah, the Dover Grill. A place to stop, grab a bite to eat, and have some...natural juices?"


"Rockaway's latest attempt to curb rampant speed limit breakage...by offering bonus points."


The only place in New Jersey where you can purchase a dollar for 99 hundredths of a cent!
