7/4/2007: Stephen Has Completed "Slogan Slinger"


Ok, sorry for the late posting on this, however, I think it was worth the wait. While I think this was one of the harder tasks I've ever had to do, it turned out to probably be one of the best. I went into the local Ingles and looked for like 30 minutes for everything on the list, except for Calgon. I didn't even bother looking for it, as I have never even really heard of it. I just got a Sunkist and made up a slogan for it, which I think most should find quite amusing. Anyways, the checkout process was horribly embarrassing, but in the end it turned out for the best. I have recorded audio of the encounter. The sound is a bit muffled, as the recorder was in my pocket. You should be able to make out most of the slogans though. Here is the audio file:

Also, here are a few pics:

7/3/2007: Marianne Assigns "Slogan Slinger" To Stephen



Today you’re going to purchase items with famous slogan lines and as they are scanned at the store, say them to the cashier.
Requirements: A list of national products are given below, the slogan for those products are in parenthesis next to it. You need to shop for these products and then get in line to check out. As each item is passed over the scanner you need to say the slogan that goes with the product to the cashier. You need to describe the cashier’s reaction, the reaction of the people around you and what everyone said. A video would be great but will settle for audio and pictures.

Campbell’s Soup (M’mm Good)
Kraft Macaroni N Cheese (It’s the cheesiest)
Frosted Flakes (They’re Grrreat!)
Bounty (The Quicker Picker Upper)
Alka Seltzer (Plop Plop Fizz Fizz Oh What A Relief It Is)
Calgon (Calgon Take Me Away)
Rice Krispies (Snap! Crackle! Pop!)
M&M’s (The chocolate melts in your mouth not in your hands.)
Kool-Aide (Hey Kool-Aide!)
Milk (Got Milk?)
Almond Joy/Mounds (Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don’t)
Sure (Raise your hand if you’re sure)
You can take two of the given off the list but you need to add two of your own back on because you need to do a total of twelve products.
