Fast Food and Grace Church

We certainly live in a fast food culture, don’t we? And what is one of the keys to the success of the fast food industry? It is their advertising slogans. Do they really work? Well, let’s find out. Below are several slogans from over the past years. I bet you can guess the restaurant chain for just about every one of them. Give it a try:

Eat fresh
Where’s the beef?
All American Food
Have it your way
Finger Lickin’ Good
Better Ingredients. Better Pizza
Make a run for the border
We do chicken right
