brand meets world
While some reddit threads are outright toxic, lots of them are pure gold.
In June, reddit user Mrguess posted the question: “If companies had realistic slogans what would they be?”, which accumulated 16K+ comments so far.
That should tell us something about how users and marketers see the world, respectively.
Here are some of my favorites. Enjoy!
