I was always partial to the campaign slogan for the Australian product "Nobbys Nuts".

"Nibble Nobbys Nuts"

Here's a bad-quality YouTube vid of a classic Nobbys Nuts TV spot.

YouTube- Broadcast Yourself.

The sheila says - "Well if we're going to make a party of it - let's Nibble Nobbys Nuts!"

"The Golden Town is the Golden Town no longer. They have sold their pillars for brass and their temples for money, they have made coins out of their golden doors. It is become a dark town full of trouble, there is no ease in its streets, beauty has left it and the old songs are gone." - Lord Dunsany, The Messengers

  They didn't get away with it in Alberta, either. The billboard was up for less than a week.

  Boy and I thought it was bad when I'd see signs like this on the highway saying:
  
  "Stop. Eat. Get Gas."
  
  You all are sick MoFos. - Rick
  
  PS: Writing copy warps your brain. For years I thought "It was just me." But now I know copywriters are just plain weird and dying to be stand up comedians.
  
  Thanks

  I was a stand up comedian, albeit briefly and without much success. The skills of writing jokes and writing ads are surprisingly similar.
  
  Thanks

  If I'm not mistaken, both Vin Montello and Kevin Rogers were professional stand-up comedians before they became copywriters.

Just got back from a trip to Florida and saw a few noteworthy billboards there too...

The same company had another one that read "Your husband is ugly" (... but at least he's smart because he saves money on AC.)

I like ROM's USP: "Exercise in exactly 4 minutes per day!" (They sell a $14K exercise bike)
