"Tastes like homemade."

Advertisers use this line all the time to try and get me to buy their products. But let's think about this for a minute. What if you, and everyone else in your home, is a bad cook? In that case, I sure as hell don't want to buy anything that tastes like it was "homemade."

"Just like mom used to make it."

My mom always was, and still is, a horrible cook. I began cooking myself, not because I enjoyed cooking, but because I didn't enjoy eating anything she cooked. And I'm not a good cook either, but I'm a little better at it than she is.

If advertisers want to sell to me, they need to come up with a different approach. How about this for a slogan:

"It beats that rat shit you had last night."
