Slogans that never quite made the cut…and this depressing note on bananas

Courtesy of the WSJ: slogans of yesteryear and ones that never quite made the cut. My favorite slogan that never quite made the cut is for Spree candy, "A kick in the mouth!" Listerine's 1921 ad slogan told young women that they would "Always a bridesmaid, but never a bride," if they had halitosis. Jessica liked the olde timey Camel's slogan, "More doctors smoke Camels than any other cigarette." While I first heard a rendition of the Chiquita banana jingle in Woody Allen's Everyone says I love You, the song was played over 350 times a day on radio stations during its heyday. As Nina and I discovered, you can find both the original lyrics and the updated 1997 healthy eating version on their website. Lastly, because 75% of our global supply of bananas consists of only one species, pests and disease are gradually destroying the banana crop. While researchers have spent decades trying to develop a comparable banana species, the results have been lackluster so one day our beloved fruit staple may cease to be...now I'm depressed.
