When Branding is the Bomb
Does that make you the bomb?
I guess it could mean that you're exploding with energy, creativity, quality, coolness, market share, revenue, profits, or more.
Maybe it's a warning to your competitors to stay clear or they will suffer the explosive consequences.
Another reading is that your company is in trouble and is about explode, fragment, and leave a trail of dead bodies in its wake.
If you love your brand, instead of a T-shirt with their logo next time, maybe you'll consider splurging for their very own branded grenade.
You can display it, throw it, or sit on it and hope for the best the brand has to offer. ;-)

Choose A Doll
Unfortunately, these remind me of Stephen King's Children of the Corn.
Watch out grown ups, they're coming for yoooou! ;-)

VW Love Van
The Hippie generation knew just how to make them gorgeous.
Peace, Love, Rock and Roll!
And the rainbow streaks and flowers for added good cheer.
If VW would make these already with the paint job with all this expression, I bet they would sell like hotcakes! ;-)

Flowers On Perfume
I'd buy this just for the bottle; who cares what the perfume smells like.
Seriously, this is some genius creative design!
Beautifully done! ;-)

Starbucks Face-Branded Packaging
When they line up like this, they look especially friendly and cute.
Also, looks like some happy customers, indeed.
Starbucks may not have the world's absolutely best coffee, but their branding is really awesome! ;-)

Isn't This Brand Just A Little Too Forward
And they have a hand sanitizer version too.
This product's naming, labeling, and marketing is over-the-top even for a spoof product.
Ah, I think I'll forever hold off on the handshaking even if there is an after-Covid. ;-)

Gorilla Glass For Smartphones
Intuitively, it's for tempered Gorilla glass for protecting your smartphone screen.
If your smartphone can survive this gorilla (King Kong), then it will work just fine almost no matter what. ;-)

Trashy Advertising
Great advertising by this garbage company.
On the back of the truck, it says:
Let's Talk Trash
And there is a garbage can afterwards for emphasis!
I like this trashy trash company brand because it works. ;-)

Porsche Branded Excellence
I have never seen such a clean garage.
Whether on the ground or suspended on the lift, the cars are immaculately cared for.
Porsche displays excellence in every aspect of their brand.
The perception is tangible and real! ;-)

Duracell Vs Energizer Showdown
Which one wins?
The whisper is that Duracell beats Energizer close to 2 to 1 for most things.
Whether or not that's true, the Energizer rabbit "keeps going and going" while the Duracell is copper-topped.
Copper? Bunny? Bunny is cuter! ;-)

Laundry is a Colorful Cleaning Affair
Some nice refreshing laundry detergent is just what's needed.
When the detergent comes in big, bright bottles like here, then it's even a more inviting experience.
Clean laundry, clean mind, clean mouth way to go! ;-)

Porsche Lovers
For Porsche lovers, I think it's mighty hard to resist it.
Now that's a brand that inspires with its meticulous eye toward design and quality.
The result is even a huggable Porsche is sweet! ;-)

Lipstick On A Dog
Not sure what they mean by:
Not just a lipstick visit
I've heard of lipstick on a pig, but never on a dog!
Playing dress up with a dog?
As they say, only in America. ;-)

I Say Upside Down You Turn Me
Like the faces, the colors, the upside down and right-side up orientations.
Seems cool, hip, with it.
Happy hippie times. ;-)

Sizzle Is Not Steak
It was about how the stock brokers all too often hawked hot stocks to their unsuspecting and foolish clients:
You sold the sizzle, not the steak!
Wow, isn't this all too often what happens with products and services in the marketplace?
People get you hyped up on all the excitement of something.
The latest and greatest widget or whatever.
It's gonna revolutionize the world!
Even when the thing itself may not be all that it's cracked up to be.
Or in fact, it may be a complete dud!
But whatever sells goes, unfortunately, whether it's right or wrong
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle.
Doesn't that sizzle really make you want to buy the steak?
The Greater Fool Theory in full blossom. ;-)
