The Worst Ad Slogans of All Time That Somehow Made It to Print

You'd think ad campaigns go through endless meetings, focus groups, and approval processes before they hit the public, right? So how on earth did these slogans make it past the brainstorming stage? Some are baffling, like "Imagine more snacks than you can imagine," which feels like an AI gone rogue. Others are just tragically ironic, like the weight-loss candy "Ayds" (yikes). And then there are slogans so tone-deaf, they're actually offensive, like Bic's "Look like a girl. Act like a lady. Think like a man. Work like a boss." Seriously, how?

This listicle dives into the most absurd, cringeworthy, and downright awful ad slogans in history. They make you wonder what the pitch meetings must've been like—and how many people nodded and said, "Yes, this is it!" So, grab a snack (as many as you can imagine) and prepare to laugh, cringe, and maybe lose a little faith in marketing.
