Fun with slogans

I was out fishing with our daughter a few days ago and she asked if I'd like a piece of popcorn and I replied, "I can't eat just one."

She was puzzled by my response so I explained that it was an ad for Lay's potato chips. Have you ever thought of how people come up with these catchy phrases that lead us to remembering their products for years to come? This is a little bit different kind of article for me to do but give this a try.
