I only missed Morton Fresh. Living most of my life in the USA probably helped. Whenever a Chick Fil-A question comes up I always have to backspace because I type "Chik Fil-A" first, maybe a result of the poor spelling they promote in their advertising, or the fact that they can't spell the word "filet."
Silly kalbahamut, they're not promoting poor spelling, and of course they can spell filet. The whole point is that cows are the ones advertising. One of the older commercials features cows sneaking out of their owner's enclosure and painting a sign that says Eat Mor Chikin; the sign, of course, directs people away from them to Chick-fil-A. Since the chain doesn't sell beef, they naturally really want people to go there.
Why is it cows, cats, etc always have such atrocious spelling and grammar? And.. if they can spell... how do you explain the name of the restaurant? Did a cow make that up, too? Is the business run by cows? If it is then... who is this "they" you speak of, as being distinct from the cows who can't spell?
I only got 11 and I'm proud of it. That means the commercials they bombard me with (most of which irritate the heck out of me) are having very little effect on me. Or so I think, anyway.
I wish I could spell alka selzer whatever. I am proud that I actually got it right! (Except that not officially cause I couldn't spell it.) Oh and I live in a wrong country to actually know the product.
Why you be disapointed in knowing it? knowing it does equal having eaten it all, or using it. It only means you have been in contact with adds/comericals
I'm pretty sure Subway has started using "Founded on Fresh" as their new slogan. They switched after Jared was arrested for being a sicko and they wanted to distance themselves from him.
*cough *"Red Bull is an energy drink sold by Austrian company Red Bull GmbH, created in 1987. In terms of market share, Red Bull is the highest-selling energy drink in the world, with 5.387 billion cans sold in 2013.[1][2][3][4]
Austrian entrepreneur Dietrich Mateschitz was inspired by an existing energy drink named Krating Daeng, which was first introduced and sold in Thailand by Chaleo Yoovidhya. He took this idea, modified the ingredients to suit the tastes of Westerners,[5] and, in partnership with Chaleo, founded Red Bull GmbH in 1987 in Chakkapong, Thailand. In Thai, daeng means red, and krating is the large bovine called "gaur". Red Bull is sold in a tall and slim blue-silver can, while Krating Daeng is in a gold shorter can.[6] The two are different products, produced separately." *cough*
First of all, get better soon. That cough sounds nasty! Secondly, the quiz was originally just "corporate slogans", but I added "American" to the title so that the usually brigade of anti-U.S. whiners wouldn't take the quiz and whine.
^ You think QuizMaster attempting to satisfy obnoxious whiners with a warning in the title is the reason they whine? I think they are just obnoxious whiners.
Also, while Red Bull is in fact an Austrian company (I guess, who cares?), "It gives you wings" is the advertising slogan used in America. It might also be used elsewhere. But this is irrelevant. The quiz is accurately titled as all of these products are advertised in America and these are the slogans used in the American market, decided upon no doubt by the company's corporate offices in America. An American who watches a lot of television and saw all these commercials before could easily do well on the quiz. Someone from Austria is going to have a much harder time of it.
Btw Mentos is from the Netherlands. You forgot to whine about that.
I never see people demanding spelling outside the test language or whining about U.S.-centric questions on quizzes in other languages...ever. I suspect the English, the eternal complainers about losing colonies a quarter-millenium ago. Like we'd still be part of England with 330 million people, the vast majority of whom aren't ethnically English and don't care about the place anyway.
To be honest, a few of these are NOT corporate slogans but are indeed "product" slogans. For example, Rice Krispies is a product (or Brand if you will) of the Kelloggs company. A corporate slogan would be a slogan for Kelloggs, not Rice Krispies.
Scored well but slightly shamed. I'm pretty good with American pop culture (as opposed to actually useful knowledge, you know) but have believed for.... at least 20 years that the 'Have it you way' campaign - the jingle for which I know all the words - was for McDonald's.
Cool idea for a quiz. I only got 6. Those are the ones we have too (or a translations) though some I am not sure we have but I heard it so often.
(Nike, Red bull we definitely have. Mentos, I think it has been over 10 years since I ve seen that slogan. Skittles, I think we have the product here, but no commercials, but I ve heard that line so often. Sprite, we have it, not sure about the slogan and if so that also was a long time ago
(I seem to remember the 90s were very slogan heavy in commercials, some quite good actually, commercials have gotten worse imo, just faster and louder) And Subway was a random guess, among a lot of others, but this was the only one that was actually an answer.
So we have 5 here, and atleast 2 of the slogans are used actively)
The airlines one, made me laugh because it was the worst experiences of flying I ever had! Certainly not friendly. I hope other people had a better time on their flights than I did!
Right as I get to 'fair and balanced', the slogan came up as her show came back from commercial. :P
