I was eavesdropping a discussion between a group of friends about advertising....
...the idea was to use a well known slogan....
...and see if the others could 'Guess the product'....
...(mainly from television advertising)...
The first one started off with an enthusiastic: "Have it your way!".
There were a few blank faces....
...and I certainly didn't have a clue...
...then one youngster piped up with her tentative guess.....
...."Burger King?"
...which was the correct answer!
She then got to chose the next slogan.....
...she thought for a while.....
....and then said "I've got one......'Don't leave home without it'?"
"Visa!" shouted out an older man.....quite correctly..
So he then gave his suggestion......
"I know.....'Where do you want to go today?' " he said smiling.....
Someone suggested 'Vauxhall cars' - which wasn't correct.....
...someone else ventured 'Virgin Railway?'.....
...which was also incorrect....
"Microsoft!" came the correct answer from a middle aged woman....
....who then suggested her own slogan.....
....'Just do it!' she said....
....and straight away a young chap shouted out.....
...."My Mum!"
Tallyho!
