What is the worst possible slogan mishmash?
There’s a line in the movie The Boondock Saints:
“I gotta buy you, like, a proverb book or somethin’. This mix-n-match shit’s gotta go.”
A patron says this to the barkeep after he, once again, spouted off utter nonsense by combining two well-known proverbs. Some big-name companies would have to completely change their sales approach if given this proverbial treatment. Take, for instance, a mishmash of the iconic Kay Jewelers slogan with the primary slogan of Dick’s Sporting Goods.
Every Kiss Begins with Kay
&
Every Season Starts at DICK’S
becomes
Every Kiss Starts at DICK’S
There could be confusion given the apostrophe in DICK’S. Perhaps there’s something understood at the end of that sentence dictating that every smooch must begin with some dude named Richard. But when people hear the mishmash motto said, their mind will be just like a 4-year-old playing tee ball—skip first base and head straight for third. And you can bet your ass they’ll hear that “s” on the end and think it’s a pluralization. Now even a simple kiss goodnight involves a threesome. Kay and Dick (plus one other) are teaming up to sell a lifestyle!
