35 Sarcastically Honest Slogans That Reveal The True Nature of Famous Brands, As Shared By Folks In This Online Group
Brands are mostly recognized by their logos but another important part of a company’s branding is their slogan. Brand slogans are usually short and catchy, they are a representation of the brand’s identity and makes them stand out among other competitors.
They should reveal the benefits of the products and also show the values of the company. But people believe that not all slogans that companies have are always that honest. So redditor night_howler_grt thought of asking, “If brands were brutally honest, what brand would have what slogan?” and people in the thread put all the wrong things that these companies do into one catchy phrase.

Tupperware: Have you ever wanted to throw away food, but just not now?
Now with 43 spare lids, you can't find the matching containers for!
I still have Tupperware from the 70's that was my moms. Perfect condition! The stuff I bought in the early aughts couldn't hold up to the dishwasher and microwave.
Years and years ago when Phyllis Diller first showed up on TV she had a line that had me and my mom rolling on the floor. She said "have you ever opened up the refrigerator and found something that has been in there so long you have no idea what it is? And instead of throwing it away, you put it back? Why? Do you think it is going to get better?"

gucci: being expensive is literally our entire marketing strategy
"Pay for our overpriced products so we can use you for free advertising."
and not pay you for the “free advertising “ you are doing for us!! 😂😂😂😉🤔
Load More Replies...Never got the appeal. If I'm paying that much, it needs to also look better than the much cheaper stuff.
I can’t even believe gucci. You can get nicer clothes from target for like more than half the price, and better quality. I’m not saying everything is bad at gucci, but a lot of the time there just overhyped and overpriced.
we need to stop listening to what “society “ tells us is supposedly cool! usually it is just more expensive and so not cool!! Not to mention it is also the most ugly thing you will ever see in your life! why do we do this??!

Coca Cola: It was better with a hint of cocaine, but type 2 diabetes will have to do.
If cocaine ever became legal, I wonder if they'd bring out an adults only "original recipe" version.

This slogan seems to be working fantastically! I've been hearing some version of it for the last couple of years and his wealth keeps increasing. I can only assume that the slogan is so effective that people can't help but hand their money over to him. There's a similar slogan around Walmart in the post Sam Walton years and they're still doing fantastic as well. I need to find a way to get people pissed at me so they'll just give me their money while bitching about it. I'll have to come up with a new and better slogan though.
You would think that with a s**t ton of money you could make a better quality of life for the employees instead of becoming a spaceman.

La Quinta: Spanish for "next to Denny's"
I came up with this back in the 70s while in Jr. High School - got quite a few laughs LOL - it's still funny!
Eh? Since when? I generally stay at La Quinta's because they're reasonably nice for the price and I don't recall ever seeing a Denny's nearby. But then, I haven't seen a Denny's in like a decade; do they even still exist?
They just tore down the last Denny's near me, and it wasn't next to La Quinta... TGI Fridays was =0)
Load More Replies...There really is a La Quinta close to a Denny's where I live, haha!
La Quinta is an "entry-level" franchised hotel. Nowadays, to get room service, you should stay in the top 5%, by rates (In Portland, OR, around $ 400 and up). And inquire first if the place has a kitchen operating 24 hours.

UPS: We know your you're probably home but ain't nobody got time for that!

Props to my grandpa who always takes care of the tracking service and hides in the garden to jumpscare the delivery man if he doesn't even try to deliver the package.
I have nothing but love and respect for every single one of the people who have brought everything I needed right to my door all thru the pandemic. If I get Covid, I strongly believe that I will die. USPS, DHL, FedEx, UPS, all of them worked long hours and really hard so that I could stay at home and have everything come to me. Bless them. They have my undying gratitude.
What do you get when you cross UPS and FEDEX? ....................FEDUP!!!!!!!!!!
Or, we won't deliver goods you need for your business for 3 days, tough luck. And good luck with your suppliers getting through to us.
UPS once wouldn't leave a box of protein bars I ordered. Left one of those "Sorry We Missed You" notices on my door. I couldn't believe it.
FedEx : our drivers take out their anger on your items.
its a stressful job of people getting things delivered to a business but only having their name and the address onthe box; when it should say the business name so you can track it down easier. i worked for loomis for 6 months and everyone f***s up at their end but you get the s**t
I can't count how many times I filed complaints because FedEx squashed videogame vynil collectors statues i ordered. These things cost hundreds, get packaged with bubble wrap, styrofoam and other stuff like crazy, and the delivery people still manage to damage them somehow m
Where do you people live? Our FedEx drivers have been amazing! The one even slowed down to wave when she saw me out after my foot surgery. Our UPS driver looks like he could be David Wallace's sexy brother.
One time our hub actually delivered an elephant--let's hope the drivers didn't take their anger out on him!

Disney. Really, what other option do you have? We run the entertainment world
Disney World, the world's most advanced tourist trap. "Oh, look, the line's not that long". 3 hours of winding through a maze later.... Also, why would anyone visit Disney World during a Florida summer? 90 degrees and 200% humidity. Although, I actually enjoyed Epcot when I visited it back in the 20th century.
Americans know that visiting Disney World in the Florida summertime is a "no no", for the reasons given above. That's why Europeans are bombarded by Disney adverts to fly over there at that time, to push up visitor numbers! Advice to Europeans - make your trip to Disney World in early Spring or late Autumn when the weather conditions are so much better.
