Mokinokaro posted:The earliest I can think of is In-N-Out Burger in the states that has done it with bible verses since their inception in the 1940s as they were founded by a religious Christian and the company is still in the control of his very religious descendants. Haha, I didn't know about this. That does sound pretty genuine, kinda like Dr Bronner's labeling. The thing that really separates it from Chipotle/Vitamin Water in my view is that the former did it as part of their heritage/beliefs where the latter pretty much invented it entirely to promote an image (Dr Bronner's keeping it even as they gain some traction is certainly an image thing, but at least it comes from something in the company) I was talking about the "stunted maturity" thing with my original comment, but it's actually pretty interesting to see the history behind decorating your packaging with long paragraphs

Forever 21 has John 3:16 on the bottom of their bags. As for Chipotle, one of the people whose quotes are being used is Jonathan Safran-Foer, who wrote a book about vegetarianism. Here's his response to why he let Chipotle use his quotes: quote:I mean, I wouldn't have done it if it was for another company like a McDonald's, but what interested me is 800,000 Americans of extremely diverse backgrounds having access to good writing. A lot of those people don't have access to libraries, or bookstores. Something felt very democratic and good about this.

computer parts posted:You should see Dr. Bronner: Thing is though, Dr. Bronner was being sincere about that, rather than it being a marketing ploy. It's not really the same thing. Dr. Bronner lost his parents in the Holocaust and it hosed him up and he really wanted to spread his (crazy) word. Apple and Vitaminwater just want me to think they're my best friend purely to get me to buy a thing.

I'm more talking about their advertising on their website. Also, there was the "if you don't have an iPhone, you don't have an iPhone" era which had some of that.

Be thankful you don't have a Sheetz then, where everything on the menu either ends in Z or begins with Sh. In some cases both. Example: shmagel=bagel breakfast sandwich Shmeltz=pretzel bun breakfast sandwich (legit good)

Gonz posted:I just saw a commercial for KFC Go Cups, which is a small plastic cup that has been stuffed with finger food like potato wedges and chicken strips. Would rather a commercial like that rather than the subway ones with athletes I've never heard of standing there for 1 second exclaiming "that's what I am talking about!" Subways horrible sandwiches are eclipsed by their horrible ads.

Subway commercials hearken back to a simpler time, where the celebrity endorsement was the work of the commercial, and production values were lower, because who needs high production values in a sandwich ad

Primanti's vs Pat's/Geno's is not a battle worth having, because those are all Food Network hyped tourist traps that aren't worth going to. I'd say Sheetz vs. Rutters is a better Pennsylvania battle.

Never heard of Pats or Genos They're a couple of gaudy cheesesteak stands across from each other in Philadelphia that are "competing" but not really because they feed off each other for the tourist attention and their cheesesteaks are both the worst I've ever had since I moved here. I hate them even more because they demand you use their retard-speak lingo when ordering from them after waiting in the absurdly long line.

They have delicious breakfast kolaches. Kolaches! And to the point of this thread, the DirecTV "wires" ads are approaching a point of absolute and utter creepiness with me right now.
