Do you know what product used as a tag line “as nuts in November”?
I’d like to know for no other reason than letting my wife no that it was actually used. She thinks I made it up.
Thanks

I am putting final touches on a Book and Online Course for people interested in building their own brand. I would like to quote and use all or part of your tagline list (above).
Please let me know if that meets with your approval.
Meanwhile…do you know which brand used the line, “Ring Around The Collar” speaking about the yellow ring that comes from not being clean?
Thanks for your help. You have a nice site!

P.S. I’ll vote in the Tag contest for “Friends don’t let their friends drive drunk!”
